A One Strike Rule. If I catch a person lying to me, I never hang out with them against unless I have no case. I also deliberately act in a rude and hostile manner.

However, this only applies if I've already warned them about the policy.

Luckily, I have a one strike rule against ultimatums. :)

Why doesn't simply not trusting them work for you? How does being hostile to them further your interests?

Because it makes it obvious to people that I'm taking my policy seriously.

Will you make that connection explicit to them afterwards too? Do you think other people make the connection? How?

If I go on about it enough in conversation, people will have to realise. I won't made it explicit directly to them, but them realising will discourage others.
