Racism in MMorpg's taken to whole new level with 'Salem the Game' Dev involvement

I've played plenty of MMorpg's and there's always some racists bullshit on the forums. Usually it's handled quickly and efficiently by the mods or the forum manager but every once in a while you get a game who's dev's revel in forum drama and let an anything goes attitude prevail.
Salem is one of those games. It was recently sold by the Swedish Company Seatribe to a mysterious indi Game Design company called Mortal Moments. They changed the forum rules but have only loosely enforced extreme racist in-game behavior and pretty intense forum racism as well. Only pictures are really banned from the discussion. Link postings to white guys beating up black guys and stuff like this is commonplace to troll people with.
[mod edit]
Regular comments calling Blacks sub-human or genetically inferior aren't punished by the mods or the dev's if pictures aren't attached. It's so far past where other game forums are that it's driven the population down.
Recently with the new company, they've actually started punishing the players who argue against the more violent and disgusting racism. They've resorted to banning people who find it offensive and even nerfed in game characters of people who argue with the racist forum members.
Avoid the game, and be sure to avoid the forum's.

First...nice post count
Second...way to be the 13 millionth to play the race card where there is nothing to play.
I don't even play the game anymore...but this takes the cake on stretching it....keep on stretching...
This is happening on the game's official forums?
Got a link to this stuff? If what you are saying is true, there are ways to make that stop very quickly.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
