Being *suspected* of committing an offence *on discord* can now get you permanently banned from the game

So, a friend of mine was recently permanently banned from TOS, and according to TurdPile and now a developer too it's because of "Participating with known botters and moonmen to raid a server". A discord server, which I would like to add has nothing to do with the game and is a fan-made server not affiliated with BMG in any way.

She was a moderator of this server for over a year and would not randomly decide to participate in a raid on it. She is being judged for associating with "moonmen" on discord - meaning she is in a discord server consisting of some members who are trolls/moonmen, some who are regular tos players, some ex judges and even a gmod (who only left recently due to getting backlash from trial for being there).

I remember being a judge and only being able to suspend players who were forum reported if there was an actual report in the trial system, because if they just had screenshots there was always a chance they could be faked, and we had to be certain the player was actually guilty of an offence in game. Now players are being permanently banned with developers openly admitting that they did not commit any in game offence, and no evidence whatsoever of offences outside of the game.

This is a disgrace and it honestly wouldn't surprise me if myself and other players in this "moonman" discord server are soon banned from the game too simply for who we speak to outside of the game.
