I try to sway more towards the... "if you would be embarrassed for your mom to read it, then you shouldn't post it" camp myself. I find that being negative, especially vulgarly so, spreads like wildfire and tends to make the whole thread toxic.
If it's IC... then I usually let the games language describe my limits. For example in FFXIV we have a lot of "arse" and other colorful metaphors. Of course this doesn't mean that Asytra has the mouth of a sailor, despite actually BEING a sailor, but it does give me some guidelines. Besides, colorful metaphors do have their place, I mean would Battlestar Galactica be the same with out a few "fraks" here and there?

-"Wherever we want to go, we go. That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and a hull and sails; that's what a ship needs. Not what a ship is.
What a ship really is, is freedom."
