    Does SGM have Jurisdictions over these things outside of SGM? Examples

    Someone doxxing
    Talking shit
    Conspiracy
    Starting drama
    Leaking staff info
    Spreading rumors

    If, for example, you dox a player within the community and post it on a known but unnamed website, we would still likely take action.

    Talking shit is talking shit. We don’t care about that.

    Conspiracy and starting drama, it all depends on what you’re doing. If you’re planning an attack on SGM servers then yes we yeet you. If you’re planning on rdming jabba on east on the 24th of February at exactly 10:12 PM, then no we don’t care.

    Leaking staff information is punishable regardless of the platform the leak is posted on. Many members were demoted and banned, some permanently, for contributing to the old sgmleaks tumblr page.

    Spreading rumors is similar to talking shit. It all depends on the rumor you are spreading.

    This is an online community. You can really be yeet skeet deleted for whatever reason the leads and highwon see fit. If the upper administration notices you’re causing problems on other communities in an attempt to defame or slander sgm or it’s affiliates it could come back to bite you in the ass.

    tl:dr
    If we think it is in the communities best interest, we will take action.

    Realistically? SGM has ultimate jurisdiction. They can ban you for anything at anytime. Platform or medium does not matter. Generally, SGM will only moderate things within its sphere of influence. What does that mean? Generally SGM will not ban you from its services for actions committed on other services. That is not the rule, however, as being a toxic asshole outside of SGM can still lead to you being banned from SGM, given the severity.

    So basically, the correct answer is: SGM has jurisdiction over its servers, and can ban you from those servers for any reason, whether that reason relates to the server or doesn't, but generally you aren't going to be banned for shit that takes place outside of SGM.
