Is there a TV board or are you allowed to post
ABC
Are we not allowed to post jokes on the board now?
It was a simple question, actually an oxymoron, "a casket coming with a lifetime warranty?"
WHY is this person allowed to post on the equipment board?

To the service who posted a job ad on the Main board, the reason your post
was removed is because all job ads are to be posted on the Job Seeker's board. Any "well-deserving MT" knows to look at that forum for that "chance to work for an excellent company and make an excellent line rate". Feel free to post your ad there.
Thank you.
Post word questions on the Word board NOT the Main board.

What is the Main Board for? All general topics seem to get moved to the new gab board.

Should just post all their open positions in one post and only be allowed to post one of those a day
nm
You put them on the company board, not the main board. They are still there.

Main board is for MT topics. Non-MT goes to the Gab board! nm

this should be on the main board, because

It's the MAIN BOARD
I thought we could gather as MTs at the main board and discuss pets, TV, etc. if we wanted to. This was more a comment on the show rather than an attempt to open up a discussion about sex change anyway.
FWIW, I thought the show was funny last night. I did feel a little squeamish when Zachary was on, though. He seemed to come away with the impression that he was being discriminated against because of his look, or the way he? is, and didn't seem to understand that he can't sing. What's new, though. I think my favorite so far, though, has been the "I shot the sheriff" guy.
What is the main board for?
A week or so ago, I responded to a post from someone who was asking about Files To Go. My message was wiped from the board after a very short time. This morning in my email box was a digest from MT Stars by a person asking where her post went...she was asking about keyboard trays. I can't find either one of her messages on the board.
Why are our messages being deleted from the system?
Main Board
I'd like to thank the administrator for helping me with my question about the main board. Being new here, I looked around for "instructions" but must have overlooked them. It's nice to see the administrative message at the top of the main board explaining how to use it -- I took the word "main" litearlly, as others new to this board possibly have.
I do have a question. When I signed up at Yahoo-Groups , I signed up to receive daily digests, which are digests of the main board. Is there a way to receive digests of the boards listed on the left?
Main Board
Does the active topics selection at the top of the page show all active topics for each category at left or just certain ones? Thanks.l
why are you posting on the main board ??

of the Main Board here??? huh? hmmm....nm

Again, the Main board is for anything that would not be a topic that should
be posted on any of the boards in the left column. If your post is about equipment questions, then that should be posted on either the Equipment or Technical boards. If a new MT has questions, posts should be made on the New MT board. Questions about a particular company? Post is on the Company board.
We receive well over 5 million hits to this site per month. If everything was posted on the Main board we would have a major problem on our hands. That is why posts are deleted.
Main Message Board
This is the main message board. If you notice, not much on this page is directly related to MT. This is where we go to talk about anything else non-MT related.
Thank you. I moved it to this Main board. (nm)

Moved to main board for more to see...sm
We are not endorsing nor advertising this product. This post was on the New MT/Student board and is a nice discount for all of our MTStars posters, so I thought I'd bring it out for everyone to see.
Thank you Danny!
I am not allowed to say where I work on this board.

The main board is used to discuss many different topics. sm
There are many posts on this board that if you were to be really technical about it, should be put on the company board, word board, productivity board, religion board, etc., but they're allowed to stay here and be discussed. If you don't like this topic, then feel free to skip it. But it really isn't a political discussion per se, so it shouldn't have to be taken somewhere else.
I think y'all should have to stay on the main board.
That way we youngsters can read your posts and go, "Wow, we're sure lucky we didn't have to put up with all that bunk." Thanks for paving the way for us!
The Main board is fine for this subject. (SM)
Non-MT topics are fine here.
If you would like to take this up with the Administrator, you can e-mail her at admin@mtstars.com.

In other words - the main board should not even exist then.

I asked on main board, don't know why I didn't
think to ask you all! We are still all a team, right? I am going to return to transcribing, I was an MT for 20 years and QA for 10. I figured out financially that I would have to transcribe 1500 lines per shift to make out OK. Of course, if I got paid 12 and 13 cpl like the old days, the requirement would be less! But I'm figuring a 9 cpl start. I would have to do 1500 to keep afloat until I get moving up or transcribing faster. Anyway, is 1500 lines of work easy to get on a steady basis around the average MTSO anymore? I used to work 2 jobs for years long ago, and found it was easier that way. When one ran low, I jumped on other one, and always had work. That's my biggest fear, quitting my hourly job, going back to MTing, and then finding no work. I don't know if 1500 lines per shift is out of the ballpark to expect these days? I used to type a lot more than that, but I'm a bit more fidgety these days! What do you think? Sound possible as far as the MTSO's side? Or is my goal too high? I just don't want to end up homeless trying to break away from this company.
Post about Companys on the Company board, post job ads on the Job Seeker board

I'm not allowed to say that name on this board or I'll be banned..sorry..
If you'd care to e-mail me, I'll share, but I've been told not to say that name on this board or I'll be banned.
Main Board is for any topic. Don't start the flaming. NM
.
you're welcome; use Main board for general MT questions
nm
This also involves AHDI, so I think it should be discussed here on the Main Board, not just MQ's

They are not allowed to post here. It is removed. (NM)

We had problems with the Main board and some posts were removed. You did not offend
I am aware of the religion board, just thought main one would be more active...thanks anyway. nm

MT Week prizes are posted on the Main board. Watch for them and then
follow the directions to enter. If you see a post that has a winner announced beneath it, that prize is no longer available.
You realize you are posting this on the main board, right? Not everyone at this site works for MQ.
Are we allowed to post links for other sites?
I thought we could not do that?
I guess I'm not allowed to post the link.
sigh.
Sorry you feel that way, but we have never allowed offshore MTs to post on the MTStars website.
This is not something new, it's been this way since the beginning. The ONLY difference we made was to allow US based MTSOs that offshore the ability to post job ads because they hire US QA Editors.
No, we do not set up specific company boards. Posters are allowed to post discussion about MQ here
or on the Company board, just as any other company can.
umm.. are we allowed to post pictures with the direct link code listed?
because I did and it won't show.. the image has not been moved or deleted.. it is a little gif of MC Hammer dancing to Grammar Time. Darn.

cherrypicking co-worker issue (meant to post it on this board instead of MQ board) sm...
I need opinions please...I work on a very small account with just a handful of ladies. Because of the nature of the software (trying not to get too specific here) we can see who is working online and what reports they are working on in real-time...
We have one cherrypicker on the account. Instead of using FIFO method, she retrieves the reports by author ID - usually picking the better dictators of course. She knows I busted her and she did admit to it in on our work e-mail (not too bright) which I am saving just in case she gets out of hand - so far I'm still able to make money since really most of the dictators aren't bad.
But every night it's starting to wear on me since she's screwing up turnaround time. I don't really want to cause a big uproar being that it is such a small account and I need to work with her almost every night usually one on one.
What would you all do? I want to handle this as delicate and professional as possible because we can't really afford to lose anyone on this account. In other words, I refuse to stoop to her level by cherrypicking right back.
My boss has asked me several times why so-and-so does so much more than I do...I just bite my lip at that point but one of these days I think I might explode and just open up a can of worms....
