Sjin, also known as Paul Sykes, left the Yogscast network following allegations of inappropriate behavior. An internal investigation led to his departure due to breaches of the company’s code of conduct.
Paul Sykes, better known by his online alias Sjin, was a content creator and a member of the Yogscast, a popular gaming group known for their videos and live streams on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. In August 2019, allegations surfaced regarding Sjin’s conduct with several members of the community, including claims of sending inappropriate messages.
The Yogscast CEO, Mark Turpin, announced that they were conducting an internal investigation to address these allegations. The process was part of the company’s commitment to ensuring a safe community and work environment. Following the investigation, it was concluded that Sjin had breached the Yogscast’s code of conduct.
As a result, Sjin announced his departure from the Yogscast on his personal social media accounts. He apologized to the people he had upset and acknowledged that his behavior was not up to the standards expected of him. The incident led to a broader discussion within the online community about the responsibilities of content creators and the importance of maintaining professional boundaries.
Since leaving the Yogscast, Sjin has been less active in the public eye, and the Yogscast has continued to reinforce their policies and commitment to the safety and well-being of their community and staff.
