I don't like spelling police either, but...
she did not use they're correctly: P.S. They don't even advertise anymore on here because of they're reputation.

Should be 'their' reputation...

so sorry I thought the spelling police were banned from here, guess I was wrong. But I am glad to know you don't ever add an extra letter in a word. Oh I wish I could be perfect.

MTStars is a discussion forum that does not require registration. We watch the

content that is posted and remove inappropriate posts and we encourage the posting of factual information.  Administrator


It has nothing to do with MTStars or the owner of MTStars. It
has to do with the fact that the person who posted gave enough information that the company recognized who it was.  We, at MTStars, do not give anyone information about who posts what.
The problem with this forum is that it is a forum...
meant for MTs who want to share information, get answers, and sometimes just vent about a problem. The post about cherrypicking began with the MTs problem of having to transcribe reports that were obviously skipped over by her fellow MTs. The response was quit being a cherrypicking busybody and do your job.

Regardless of how you view cherrypicking, how is that response helpful in the least? If you do not have anything productive to add to a thread, then just stay out of it. That was completely inflammatory and characteristic of what a troll would do.

Nobody wants to hear just deal with it when they need a solution to a problem. They also don't want to hear about how perfect other MTs and if they were just like them, it would not be an issue.

In your own words, nobody likes it but some choose not to worry about it. Then don't respond to the thread. Don't be pompous. Don't make it sound like you are so superior because you don't care if you get all the worst dictators. Maybe give a positive response on how cherrypicking is good and should be appreciated.

That is the problem with this forum...the people who come here to be completely unhelpful in the guise of being a perfect MT.
I am not the MT police, but sometimes I wish
cute one!
the what police? lol

... and the puncuation police are after you!! nm

Please do not grammar police here...

Many MTs come to this site to relax and may not have the time or desire to proofread their messages.

Police state
Yes, but I'd be much more worried that your government now has all of under just about 24 hour surveillance. THAT's a police state...


That would be grandma police.

GRAMMAR POLICE - sm

Having nothing meaningful to contribute, these immature holier-than-thou self-proclaimied experts need to vent their insecurities by finding fault with something as insignificant as spelling/grammar.  Reminds me a lot of a large percentage of QAs -- need to nitpick on something trivial, real or imagined.


I would just tell them to kiss my butt, unless they are also paying my salary - otherwise they should MTOB.

What are you, the question police?
People should be able to ask a question at the present time and get answers and not have other people running around the board saying, Google it, or Search the board.

You know, that is really not helpful and quite rude. Everyone already knows that, so if you can't answer the question, why don't you keep your advice (that everyone already knows) to yourself? Okay?

So tired of this attitude.
Well thank you, company board police!

before posting anything to this forum in the future. 



Why do people think they have to be the QA police here. I am so tired of
people voicing their opinions, only to have it pointed out they didn't spell something correctly, or used the wrong word, or made a typo. We put up with this day in and day out in our jobs, trying to make sure everything is correct. Do we really have to do it here too? Frankly, I'm sick of it.
Sorry the police "busted" you, but thank you for the info. (sm)
Why do people feel compelled to correct our grammer when we are just relaxing and sharing info here? We are not really trying to put out a perfect polished product.

How rude, excuse me, Ain't that rude?

Thank you again for answering so many of my questions.
I have called the police department already..sm
I am not playing.  They faxed me the paperwork and I am giving her until Friday for a cashier's check OR money order is in my hands, she is in trouble!  LIES LIES LIES that is all she has done.
not trying to cheer her, just everyone.Joke police,tsk
nm
BTW, grammar police are not allowed.
Go back to your corner now.
placed=place (typo police abound). nm

Thank you and thank MTStars..NM

Maybe MTStars

is also hindering your production?


MTStars

This board is really a great help when looking for employment.   There are many positive posts that turn out to be decent companies, and then there are also negative posts about experiences each person has had.   Both perspectives should be allowed and not discouraged with threats.  Just maybe, these companies that are trying to decrease our wages even further and are deceptive in their business practices will be put out of business eventually and we might see a new trend.  There are a few businesses posted about regularly on this board that have the same issues come up time and time again.  I see these as red flags.   On the flip side it is just as important to let people know if you've found a good thing (this does not include recruiters on here making untruthful posts for their benefit).  This might encourage companies that are treating their MTs well and are above reproach to continue to strive towards making this once again a decent career path. One could only hope that a board like this would be able to make a significant difference in the way things have been going by networking and sharing our information.

But what about those ads up at the top of MTStars? Those
are their sponsers/advertisers.  One of those could also place a job post with MTstars.

MTStars Ad Policy
That USED to be the policy - but according to the www.mtstars.com homepage:  The hands of time cannot be turned back on the widespread transfer of information globally and as of January 1, 2006, MTStars opened itself up to include the global environment. MTStars limits this only to allow US Transcription Services that outsource offshore to post open jobs seeking US QA Editors. DIRECT offshore posting, communication, solicitation is still prohibited.  Translation:  Only companies that are BASED offshore are not to advertise through this site.  Hope this helps!

Just sent you an email through MTStars (nm)
Thanks
The owner of MTStars?
I thought Sheri owned it? (though I haven't been here in a while)
Well, MTStars does have a system set up
lack of a better word - I guess its handled on an individual basis at times, i.e. whether to permanently ban or temporarily ban or just a word of warning.  I know from experience.   There are definitely outright trolls, and that is true, but I know even from my own experience, I can just get so angry sometimes at something that I do lose it and say things that I probably actually would have said to someone's face, but maybe not. I don't know. As the posters above have said, we can be a very unappreciated and abused employee, MTs as a whole, and many of us are in very frustrating work situations, more so in these hard times, so, yes, tempers flare. I think most flares here are from those who just refuse to validate others' experiences, i.e. the happy MTs who viciously attack the unhappy MTs, whether just in general or specifically company related.  That is so sad. The MTs finally vent, as really none of us have anyone to talk to or understand in real life, and they get squashed and called names, or insulted that they must be having problems due to poor skills, etc. That's so sad and I generally then find myself attacking people I think are attacking other people.  Its just human nature for all of us, though the name calling and stuff is very poor judgment.  I think its happening more of late because of the financial issues that are impacting us all - bosses and MTs alike.  I appreciate the current editing of this forum, as I said earlier it used to be so heavily edited that it was 100% skewed to hide the truth about the site owner's favorite companies, i.e. advertisers, sponsors, or employment affilitations, etc. I 100% agree that it was her perogative to do so, as she owned it, but it was done in such a way that nobody knew that things were being skewed that way.  So, it was a form of misrepresentation, though, again, her right.  So, I hope that for the most part what I read on here these days is a bit more unfiltered - might not be happy news, but perhaps its more fair and balanced, as they say!
well I am sitting here on MTstars so...
That means there are no jobs. I ran out about an hour ago. Guess I will grab some lunch and try again later. Have a good one.
