Zero Tolerance Policy
This is a policy of our discussion forums.
The integrity of a forum is a direct reflection of its members. A high level of integrity is expected on this forum and, of course, this requires members to behave accordingly. There is a "zero tolerance policy" for members who act to damage the integrity of the forum.
The USS Liberty Inquiry discussion forums area for Advanced Members is a place for research, investigation and discussion related to the development and presentation of evidence, theories and arguments focused on technical, forensic, legal and policy matters directly involving the June 8, 1967 attack on USS Liberty.
While it is understood that politics may have played a role in the attack and its aftermath, political topics dealing with issues like Zionism, Communism, Capitalism, and so forth are not considered appropriate and will not be tolerated.
The discussion of religious or ideological matters will not be tolerated.
Threads in an Advanced Member forum that do not follow policy will be moved to the Regular Member forum, or locked, or deleted, without warning, and appropriate action will be taken against an offender (a warning is the first step).
This is the Advanced Member policy. Anyone who violates this policy should expect a warning and deletion of inappropriate material. If anyone persists in violating this policy, they should expect repeated warnings and deletions. After more such events, the member will be revoked of advanced privileges, or forum membership may be revoked without warning.

Also:
- Source your statements. When paraphrasing, do so in an "intellectually honest" fashion.
- Strive to stay on topic. Constantly and grossly going off-topic will not be tolerated.
- Ranting will be not be tolerated -- except where designated.
- Ad hominem attacks, swearing, or abusive language will not be tolerated.
- If someone defies policy, don't attempt to retaliate. It just makes matters worse. Let the forum moderators/administrators handle the situation.
