Clarification of Facilitation Squads and Moderator Authority given by the COE

The facilitation squad has decided that when they ban someone from Discord if they know that person's Forum account, they will ban it as well.

When asked what gave them the authority to do this, Fehz responded with an image of the final paragraph of the Code of Ethics Preamble:

"This Code of Ethics will have a wide-ranging scope of application, encompassing not only the official Decentraland DAO Discord server but also all other instances that are linked to the Decentraland DAO such as the Forums, in-world in Decentraland, and the Governance Platform."

When asked for clarification, he replied, "wide-ranging scope of application and you have the list."

Given that logic, it seems Fehz also believes the COE gives him the right to ban individuals from everything mentioned in that paragraph.

However, if you read the entire document, which almost no one who voted in support of it has done, you will find a document that almost exclusively discusses Discord Server rules and at no point expressly states anything about perceived offenses in the Discord being grounds for bans across platforms.

Question: Does the Code of Ethics give the Facilitation squads and moderators the authority to ban individuals from the Forums, in-world in Decentraland, and the Governance Platform based on their actions within the DAO Discord?
