The only reason I'm saying this is not because is not 'technically correct', but because 'sexual predator' is associated with 'depraved middle aged man trying to rape little girls. Same with 'sex offender'. Many who get the designation are fairly harmless, but it has a stigma.

Because of the social context of 'sexually predatory behavior', it's not a good reason.

That's a good point.
Do you have any suggestions for a more fitting reasoning?

"Who are you?" Sophie asked.
She received no response to this either, but felt a momentary
confusion as to whether it was she or her reflection who asked
the question.

'Soliciting sexually explicit material is not permitted' is just fine, kind of like you said before.

Cool.
I'll use that then whenever I put up one of them for a DoS, or at least I'll try to remember, a lot of my DoS statements are robotic now.

In most obvious cases, 'sexual predator' is fine.  If not sure and member is doing it, 'seeking explicit material' seems fine.

Like a mod can look at that persons posts and topics.  Some sexual predators are just not socially able to fit in like we can.  If every single post is sexual, its almost obvious a sexual troll.  Call them a predator for good measure.

You would have to judge those posts by yourself and make your own standards.

Calling someone a 'predator' is serious shit in modern life and even if someone is a troll I don't see how that's right.

How about not call someone a sexual predator until there's substantial evidence that they are?

Meh, maybe "predator" is a little hard to judge when to use it.  Agreed.

If anyone remembers, Butters UK was called a 'sexual predatory' for asking Audrey for nudes or something.

O and when you said substantial evidence, what exactly would be substantial?  I doubt Mods are going to bend over backwards.

Just evidence that they're actually a much older person and attempting to arrange some kind of shady meeting or something.
