+==== Visitors ====
+. People may wish to explore the community as a visitor before becoming a member.  Visitors may join the OARC discord server for a period of up to 30 days, without joining the OARC.  After this period OARC reserves the right to withdraw visitor privileges and remove a visitor from the server.  Visitor status is intended to be a trial pre-membership of the community and not a permanent status.
-==== Visitors ====
+.    Visitors are not required to provide their name/call sign details but are encouraged to do so.
+.    Visitors have limited access to OARC community resources.  Some areas of the community will be provided with read-only access and others will be access denied.  These restrictions may be varied from time-to-time by Community Representatives, in accordance with the normal community rules and decision making processes.
+.    Visitors are not full community members.  They are not entitled to vote in community decision making process and they are cannot be authorised to act on behalf of the community.
-  - It is recognised that for a wide variety of reasons people may wish to explore the community as a vistor before becoming a member. For some, giving away some basic personal information without having explored the environment is unreasonable. At the same time it is important for a community without committee to ensure that individuals involved in shaping the community can be held to account. To address this the OARC allows visitors.
+.    Visitor status is a privilege and may be withdrawn at any time by a Community Representative acting in the interests of the community.  A visitor will be removed from the community if they harass or victimise a fellow member, or are found to be acting in a way which negatively impacts public opinion of the community.
-  - Visitors may join the OARC discord server without joining the OARC for a a period of 30 days. Although encouraged to do so, visitors do not have to provide their name/call sign details.
-  - Visitors will have limited access to various OARC services. Many areas and events will be set to read only/no access. Vistors will have no voting rights, nor can they be empowered to act on behalf of the community.
-  - After 1 calender month, assuming the visitor has not joined the OARC, they will be contacted and asked to either join the community, or they shall be removed.
-  - The community representatives, in consultation with the community, shall control which services visitors have access to, where there is any despite the standard decision making process detailed below shall be followed
