I assume this is the admins’ fear - if not, what is?
Actually you are dead wrong in your assumption. We do not fear that the site would be shut down due to the presence of coarse language - if that were the case, then we would also ban it from games (which we don't).
However, just as you get to choose what constitutes acceptable behaviour in your own home (within the limits of the Law), we also reserve the right to decide what is acceptable on this
privately owned site. And that's it - not a legal concern, but the personal preference of the people who own and run the site, and allow other people to use it for free.
Please respect that preference.
Also bear in mind that we have members here from all over the globe. What might be acceptable to a person from one country is not necessarily acceptable to somebody from another country.
I found the comments on what a child finds acceptable quite amusing. Personally, I stopped acting like a nine year old, and accepting their judgement on how I should behave, a long time ago.

What worries me far more is promoting the concept of a community which governs itself according to the strictures of its least-permissive members.
And another assumption which is wrong. If it were actually the case that the community was governed by its least permissive members then profanity would not be permitted even in games, and there would be no adult games here, at all - many members of this community are actually far
less permissive than the Admin and Moderators.
So you can stop worrying about that.
