We attempt to keep OOC profanity to a minimum for that reason, actually - to try and keep any potential offenses prevented.
Oddly enough, I could have sworn it was mentioned somewhere that in-character swearing is acceptable if it's conductive/appropriate to the character's roleplay (if they're the type of character that would swear, that is). However, people should avoid doing so excessively, as then it kinda loses its meaning (in my opinion, anyway) and could potentially be perceived as an OOC outlet being used ICly, if that makes any sense.
Edit: I need to stop multi-tasking while posting, darn it. Five responses before I could finish. Hah.
