I was under that impression as well and eluded to it in HarleQuin's Porn Forum idea (in so much as the forums have to be relatively clean and family friendly for the adverts), though I can't say I'm entirely clear on the degrees (if there are any) to which such language is acceptable. Even still, I stand by my suggestion of just linking to it off site if the language has that much artistic value that the piece would be ruined without it.

I'm also supporting the "link off-site" suggestion. Places like deviantART, for example, have filters that make sure no one under 18 sees something with mature contest. You could then post your entry without worrying about the filters, and without worrying about someone underage reading your story and getting their parent upset at you, as well as the staff, for not properly blocking the content.
