It's OK for network TV, but apparently not for GC. Sad.

Hi GeekyPenguin,
I'd like to remind you of our signature guidelines (http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/fa...faq_signatures) which require the content of signatures to be in comportment with our TOS (http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/register.php). Your present signature of "*Bitches get stuff done!*
That's why Catholic schools use nuns as teachers instead of priests." needs to be amended accordingly. This is due to the term used in the first sentence, as well as its application to a religious group, both of which can be construed as derogatory and/or offensive.
Your immediate attention to this matter will be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Best,
SAEalumnus

This Catholic bitch does not appreciate being told she cannot use the term bitch freely. Bitches DO get stuff done.

As someone who has been called a bitch once or twice in my life, I think that if I want to call praise to the term, I should have the right to. "Bitch" is no more offensive than some of the other terms that get thrown around on this forum and I don't see how it matters whether it is in a signature or post. An Advanced Google search of the term "bitch" on greekchat.com comes up with more than a few isolated hits: 3,040 to be exact.
It seems like by the selective enforcement of the TOS on the term "bitch" it is okay for someone to say bitch on this site... unless they are themselves a bitch?

Hi Sandy,
As I'm sure you may be aware, there's been some discussion today with respect to signature content. I can understand if you sympathize with a dissenting opinion from my own, but would appreciate it if you could remove the subject word from your signature.
I know we've corresponded before regarding members usernames being duplicated in other accounts and my diligence in helping contain that, so I hope I've demonstrated myself to be fair, impartial, and principally interested in simply maintaining order and decorum. I have nothing personal against anyone here.
Thanks in advance,
SAEalumnus

This bitch does know the capital of Vermont!

There were a lot of deletions going on when that one was popular... That I could even understand because that word being present riled up the creator of the drama.
John has said, I remember previous discussions in the mod's corner, that he didn't want to be policing everyone's language. This is a site geared towards adult individuals, not adolescents.
I also have no recollection of John ever saying that "bitch" "shit" or even "fuck" couldn't be used on the site. Again, if he was against those words being used, he could easily change them to "****". It's extremely simple to do.

I agree with asterisking cuss words if there are words we aren't supposed to be using.
But let's not start arbitrarily and inefficiently PMing people for having BITCH in their signature when BITCH is a GreekChat institution.

They finally gave me back my signature privileges. I'm not going to even attempt to ruffle any more feathers about this or anything else for that matter. I'm just gonna mosey on down the road...(but I LOVE the retaliation) Peace out.
