Adult stories on writing forum website

I help moderate a writing-related forum in which members can post stories but anyone (general public) can read the stories posted. Recently, we have had some members post sexually-explicit erotic stories. We don't want to censor them (artistic expression, etc.), and all are labeled as being NC-17 or X-rated in the heading in order to provide the necessary warning to readers. However, is there more that we need to do legally to protect the forum from potential liability or suit? Thanks.
