MagicManICT was just being over-dramatic. There were a couple of them that were Chief's head on Hitler's body, but they weren't really offensive.

Example:

In this one, I even edited out all of the swastikas on his underwear, and his arm band.

Please get the white-man censorship out of my lands.

Thread contains nudity, gore, racism, and has nothing to do with in-game politics at all.

Perhaps you should start reading the rules you are supposed to enforce?

Basics

• Don’t post or link to anything illegal: piracy, pornography, malicious software, doxxing, &c.
• Signatures should be no larger than 90 pixels tall or wider than 600 pixels.
• Don’t sell or imply that you sell anything in-game for real world money or items.
• Quality posting is essential and posts that contribute nothing may be moderated.
• Behave

Moderation & Moderators

• The role of moderators on the Salem forums is to keep the forums friendly, readable and accessible. They are in this role expected to maintain modicums of impartiality.
• If you disagree with a moderation then contact that moderator, me or post in this thread.

Lingua Franca

• This is an English forum so please post in English. Latin and classic Greek are acceptable.
• You may post in another language in Planters & Pilgrims if you accompany your post with an English translation

Neither racism, gore or nudity are against the rules per se. And "has nothing to do with in-game poltics at all" just shows us how little you acknowledge the use of propaganda as a political tool.

Still waiting for the punishing of Claeyt for doxxing Jwhitehorn.

Not posting racism, gore, and nudity is covered by "Behave". If you think that posting racism, nudity and gore is good forum behavior, you are welcome to post somewhere that isn't here, but continuing to post those here will result in bans.

I trust the issue will be dealt with by our wise developers. I have faith in their ability to see that TeckXKnight is wrong.

Cult members often consider their leaders to be "wise"

Dat cult, so stronk.

Claeyt strikes again!

From the Mushi thread:

In that case I think they should report the individual posts they take offense at. Not that offense is much of a protected category in my mind.

And this is why you are a supporter of racists jorb. You can tell yourself that you're not a virulent racist like Darwoth but you're giving them a voice here on your website and that makes you just as bad in my mind and in the view of society in general. This is why you feel so isolated from society jorb. You're inability to understand this is why you feel as if society is falling apart when it's really not and it's why you'll always by outside of it when it comes to general views on common decency, like providing a forum for racist views.

Many of these posts are incredibly offensive to most of society and are taken from threads written about racism during WW II, like this one:
http://artifactsjournal.missouri.edu/2012/03/wwii-propaganda-the-influence-of-racism/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/headovmetal/sets/72157602730833017#

These posters might be able to be excused during WW II as pandering to simple ignorance to help drive the National War Effort but they have no place in this time or place and only keep racists amused.

They're outside the normal view of how we treat human beings in this day and age and anybody who posts them without revealing their real world identity is either ignorant as to the affect it has on the other users of this forum who may be of that race... or .... like Darwoth, they are so chicken **** that they have to hide their true identities from the ignominy of their hidden views because they know that this sort of behavior and humor is outside of the bounds of decent society and if they're ever found out that they hold these views in real life they'd face repercussions.

If you can't see how these posts are racist jorb, then I just feel sorry for you. You're alienating all of the players of your game that might be offended by these posters if they're a different race or not. You'll never be comfortable in this world and you'll never feel part of it again as long as you hold this poison of racism in your heart. You'll always be angry at the world and alone, just like Darwoth.

I would report it, but someone else already did, yet his post hasn't been modded at this point. His post is full of personal attacks and is precisely what if anything should be prohibited by the "The role of moderators on the Salem forums is to keep the forums friendly" rule.

[Jalpha]

His next post in that topic is incredibly racist, discriminates against artistic freedom, and throws accusations of racism in others about wildly like an automatic sprinkler system.

It's a competition of who reports Claeyt first on that thread.

[MagicManICT]

A link to the post would be more helpful than quoting the whole thing. I have to read through half the forums in case the report was closed already? (Using overly broad argument for dramatic effect, isn't that what everyone does around here?)

Seriously, though, I keep trying to get the message across that this isn't Paradox rules here anymore. The big issue I have with it is it's out of place. The post needs its own thread, should have been posted here, or in the politics thread. I really don't see any personal attacks that would be considered something that needs to be dealt with. We've allowed much worse to go on here.

I'd carry on the "discussion," but not really in the mood for it. I'd likely ban anyone that disagrees with me.
