This doesn't happen, and in fact, it's utterly ridiculous, and quite frankly, I can't believe I actually have to explain it.
I'm not sure how much online community experience you have, but this happens plenty.
Take gmod for instance. Insult an admin on steam, you get banned from the game server and forums. Same stuff on CS, etc.
Indeed it does, when the two "environments" are related to each other, exist under the same rules, terms of agreement or whatever, and what's more - they are both owned/administrated by a single party (because you bought your game off steam, right?). Therefore they are considered a single community. Just the same as you consider the Discovery Freelancer game as one environment, and it's forum as another, but they both share the staff and rules and exist mutually, being relevant to each other, because obviously, they are dependent on each other.

Just taking that example, if you for instance would go to that steam admin on skype, and outright insult them, do you think they're in any way entitled to bring any admin action upon you in another community which has nothing to do with skype (that being steam)? Of course not, and that's what my point is about. It can't happen, unless of course, the admin you are dealing with is a biased teenager, because that's what such an action is normally called in normal communities that I've been - bias.
However, I'm not aware of the specifics how and what evidence is considered valid for sanction processing on Discovery. I don't know how admins here handle evidence, but what I would assume, is that they do not consider evidence obtained from completely irrelevant online environments as valid.

"Sir". @Tarator
I'm sorry if my post sounded too direct, it wasn't meant as an insult or something.
