well... probably not.. altho' that is a good point and a solid concern. but, Adult isn't considered 'vulgar'. Vulgarity has a completely different meaning legally, as does 'obscene'. There's no way they could consider swearing 'vulgar', so this is an instance of our definitions of 'vulgar' and 'adult' are different from their legal definitions.

Thanks for the clarification. I know these things can have different definitions based on context.

I read through ff.net's whole TOS and they have the same language in this type section too. Overall their TOS was easier to read.

The Adult label is exactly like taking a bazooka to a mouse. Some one else mentioned (sorry can't remember who) that it was their way of hiding the 'unsanctioned' fic.
