I modified the policy out of a logistical need for the wiki. Once we moderate content and conduct outside of the wiki's scope, we open the door for people to complain why we aren't doing more. If we moderated the forums, people would vindicate us for not moderating conduct in-game. If we moderated conduct in-game, people would vindicate us for not moderating conduct on Skype or Vent or other third party sites. Yeah, it would be nice to be able to say "yeah, we'll ban anyone who uses hate speech!" but people fake evidence and play the he-said she-said game to death on this server just to screw over people they dislike. I would rather keep our administrative duties to the scope of the wiki since it keeps a permanent record of foul conduct in editing history that can't be edited or deleted. I by no means support sexism, racism, or any manner of hate speech. I am not "enabling" hate speech by allowing people to post non-hate-speech on the wiki.
