I'm not sure why the site owner would ban alternative sites like Infowars and Larouche.
They may adhere to some theories or have some political views that some may consider "extreme" but when it comes to the economy, sites like these have proven to be far more accurate that most of the mainstream sites.
What is OccupyWallSt.org afraid of?

OccupyWallSt.org will ban people from posting on their forum if they “spam” the political philosophy of Alex Jones or David Icke, according to the website’s posting guidelines:
Conspiracy theories, including any attempt to spam material by David Icke, Lyndon LaRouche, David Duke or Alex Jones, will be removed immediately and the spammer will receive a swift global network ban. Fascist propaganda (including any attempt to spam these four people again), will be treated with the similar actions. In that we are very specific about what fascism is: the word has a meaning.
OccupyWallSt.org bills itself as “the unofficial de facto online resource for the growing occupation movement happening on Wall Street and around the world,” according to the site’s “About” page
This is not the first time the OWS crowd has attempted to exclude and silence those who do not agree with their collectivist message. In October, journalist Adam Kokesh was told he could not film an OWS “consensus” meeting held in a public park.

Possibly because Lyndon Larouche is a convicted felon and a racist, 'infowars" is a bunch of kohu 'ole and OWS wants to remain a credible legitimate movement.

That's the same tactics that right wing uses; calling the OWS a movement of drunks, drug users rapists etc.
Name-calling and personal attacks are nothing but tactics to distract from issues that one does not want to discuss.
