The mods there questioned his creds and instead of supplying them, he withdrew himself from the site! HMMMMM.....I wonder why?
It was worth getting the "warning" from the mods! 
In regard to this thread and viewtopic.php?f=38&t=52327&p=1202334#p1202334
First of all, ODA 226 and others who derailed thread to call out Team Sgt were over the line and you've received a PM warning from the mods.
Questioning people who have evidence against them to show they may be lying about their professional credentials is one way this community works to keep it's content legit and useful. It's too easy to be anonymous on the Internet so those that are taking advantage of the trust of this community should be called out.
However, disrupting several forum discussions and derailing threads is not useful or acceptable. This serves more to draw attention to yourself than to help the community. If you don't feel like the situation is being dealt with quickly enough, contacting a moderator or Administrator to step in. Contacting those that are responsible to run this forum is more helpful and less annoying than stalking the accused and posting personal attacks in large font in all of the threads they've touched. That's a good way to get classified as a disruptive troll and get your account locked.
With that said, the evidence presented against Team Sgt gave us good reason to question his claims on this forum. Our job is to protect the integrity of this forum community so anyone who is suspected to make false claims about their professional experience (in this case, special Forces) will probably get questioned about it.
We've contacted Team Sgt to show him what we were presented and give him an opportunity to defend himself.
Team Sgt has decided to remove himself from ZS.
Just a reminder for those of you out there who may be falsifying their background and/or experience:

Please Post with Integrity
This forum is getting quite popular so it will probably be a good idea to assume anyone will read this. With this in mind, please be careful what you post...
Don't post bullshit. People in here are skeptics and enjoy showing off so they will call you on it. This happens all the time. Go read the Thread Graveyard. There are professionals in here from all lines of work. If you claim you can fly a plane, tattoo, perform a segmentectomy or build a firearm from a block of wood then you better be able to because someone who can will more than likely try to talk to you about it then you have to deal with the embarrassment of being called out on your lie.
Don't post shit you don't want someone to see. Talking shit about someone like a co-worker, school mate, another website or someone else you know really isn't the best idea. There is a good chance they will stumble in here. If you post something that might get you in trouble be prepared for the consequences.
Bottom line: Be honest and if you can't stand by what you post then don't post it. There's no reason to try to artificially impress us. We're a nice group of guys and girls in here and we'll like you anyway as long as you're not a tool.
