    Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY

    e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place.  The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you.  If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

    Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
    visible to anyone.  The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write. 
    Oops put my email in the wrong spot..oh well. No flaming emails please LOL.

    email me your address
    I would be happy to give you mine.  I don't use it.
    using a different email address
    til they catch up with me (smile). I wanted to make people aware of what has happened because I do not think it is fair that is all. lots of people getting upset for no reason really.
    Spheris did not get your email address here.
    If you subscribe to Advance for HIM, they sell their mailing lists and info.  I've heard the AAMT does, too.  As the moderator and other posters said, nobody can get your email address from this site.  They can email you if you post it here, but they can't see the address.  They can even change the subject line from "Your post on MTStars" to something else.  As a former computer programmer, I know there is not a way to harvest your email address here.  MTStars done good in protecting our privacy.
    Does anyone know Frank's email address?
    Does anyone know Frank's email address at corporate?  I feel the need to communicate on a personal level.  Maybe if we ALL communicated with him on a personal level he would be sorry for what he has done and give us all trips to Hawaii and a raise.  Ya think??
    That's why you left your email address
    was so people could contact you for benefits for $11.95 a month.  You're here to serve your own interests, not those of anyone else on the site.
    Leave email address. Might be able to

    If you put email address in, won't it be posted??

    you had to verify you email address, so
    I would like them to "unverify" my email address so it is out of their database.

    Also, my resume was posted 2 years ago and I needed the password emailed to me so I can delete the resume, but they are not helping to reset the password so I cannot edit/delete it.

    Hope you understand a little better now. You may also want to read their TOS about allowing data mining of your email address on this website.
    email address for anyone interested in contacting me. sm
    I really have a passion for teaching. I love MT, but I love teaching more. I was an MT instructor for approximately 3 years at our local community college, so I do have the experience.
    Just testing to see if my email address was validated.

    The poster has to put in their email address when they make their
    post so the reply by email link shows up at the bottom of their post. That's the only way you can email them.
    If it does automatically appear then you will need to enter your email address.

    I have one available. Respond to email address if interested.
    Thank you
    Email and IP Address Confidentiality -- ALL READ

    It is important that each reader and poster understand the safety of their information on MTStars:


     Email Addresses


    Email addresses should never be typed into a post in any way.  The email address you validate to have posting privileges is never given or sold to any individual, group, company or association. 


    You may receive emails to that address from others using the Reply By Email option on one of your posts.  If you receive an email through the MTStars board, it will provide the URL to the post it is referencing.  Your email address is still not exposed at this point.  The person sending an email does not see your email address but has simply filled in an online form to send you the email.  If you choose to reply to the email sent to you, then you have actively chosen to expose your email address to the person emailing you. 


    MTStars does not recommend that you respond to any unsolicited email unless you are certain of the validity of the sender.  Anyone can send you an email through the Reply By Email option on any post you make.  It will go to the email address you used to validate that post.


    IP Addresses


    Your IP address is private and confidential.  It is never given or sold to any individual, group, company or association. 


    Depending on the email agent you use, if you respond to an email sent to you (or if you send an email to someone outside of the MTStars board at any time), your IP address may be traceable through your email. 


    Can companies or individuals find out your identity? 


    Yes.  Not through exposure of your information (email or IP address) but through recognizing situations you describe or other information provided by you when you post.  It is deductive reasoning.  If YOU provide enough information, you may be effectively “signing” your post.  This is true on any board, whether open publicly or not.  Even private boards cannot guarantee who their membership really is. 


    Do companies and associations read MTStars?


    Yes.  Anyone can read MTStars.  Information posted is searchable on the Internet.  Even a private board can be read by anyone who registers as a member. 


    Making claims that MTStars provides, gives, exposes or sells your email address or IP address is a libelous claim and will not be tolerated. 


    If you have any questions, please contact the Administrator or Moderator directly.


    post your email address and I will send links to you (nm).

    Well, if you left your email address as a reply option,
    maybe someone on "the other board" would email you privately with details! Otherwise, I never heard of it either!
    You did not receive spam via this website. Your email address is not available

    and is protected from bots that glean email addresses from websites.  As far as that email is concerned, it has been cycling around for years and anyone could receive it.


    Administrator, I keep sending an email address to be able to post a resume and I never get a respons

    Mine did too by making a job stats invisible until it was in our lap!!!
    Yeah!
    So you think a dog getting hit by a car or poisened by a neighbor is better than an invisible fence?
    I live in a rural area and even people I know what dozens of acres tie their dogs up during hunting season. Many dogs out chasing deer are shot and killed every year by some angry hunter.

    In towns and cities there are leash laws. I'd sure rather see a dog inside the safety of an invisible fence than poisoned by people who don't want dogs crapping in their yard, getting into their garbage, etc. Do you not realize there are settings on the collars that can merely give a buzz to the dog just to remind them of their boundaries.

    Training dogs is great, but it also depends on the breed. A dog outside will bark at birds, squirrels, etc., and I don't care how great of a trainer you are, I have yet to see a dog trained to stay in their yard.

    About a year ago, our county had problems with teen boys just picking dogs up and "relocating them" far from home. My sister's dog was one of them. After weeks, she found her 15 miles from home, emaciated, and had been beaten. You cannot just let dogs wonder. There's not point in arguing the fact. IT'S THE LAW. Don't like it? Write your state rep.
    I am sure that emails to clients and emails to IC --sm
    transcriptionists rank in two different categories. Emails to transcriptionists are probably much more frequent, the supervisors have alot more work to do than sending emails and are in a hurry. Perhaps concentrating on your own work instead of typos in an email would be more productive. which is more important?? geez. give others a break.
    If you are having any problems validating your email addy, please email support@mtstars.com

    I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
    is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
    They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
    would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
    Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

    I don't get why you are getting these emails. sm

    Do you give your email out? Do you buy stuff online? Do you have a firewall and a pop up blocker, etc.


    I have an email address that very few people know through my ISP which is heavily protected. It rejects most attachments and even wouldn't let me open some pictures that my sister tried to send me.


    I also have a Yahoo email that I barely ever use. If I do order something online, which is very rare, I give the company my Yahoo email address and then I will go there to check the status of my order.


    I did this because I learned the hard way though. When I worked inhouse a few years back, the medication Levitra had just arrived on the market. I was transcribing, had no idea what it was and I Googled it. The hospital I worked at had no firewall protection, etc. and I got more emails than I can count on how to "enhance my male sexuality." It was so annoying!!  I was a grandmother of 2 at the time.


    Get a new email address, give it only to those that you want to hear from. Do not open attachments even if they are from your best friend, and dump the old address.


    Yes, I kept all the emails....
    Out of curiosity, on what grounds would an MTSO have to justify contacting any of my previous employers/MTSOs? I've been MTing at home for many years and I had no idea an MTSO would or could call other MTSOs and say things that are untrue.

    I had thought about a lawsuit, but I'm afraid of her!

    No, she is not at Seascript.


    Emails
    Yes, we started receiving emails of this nature addressed from our own email addresses before Christmas. I called my internet company and started sending them to their abuse address. I also started checking my mail through their port instead of my own email program for a while, still do X days a week. Also, they told me to run a good virus/spyware/malware program to see if I had a virus. I run McAfee, Spyblaster and downloaded Ad-aware. Spybot is a good program if it doesn't interfere with your virus program, it does with McAfee. Check out KimKomando.com. She talks about many free programs for different issues. Some information you can access, other you have to be a member. This mail has stopped for me.
    Blank emails-me, too

     I have always used Spybot and Adware SE, but read they sometimes miss things, so I just bought NoAdWare. Was I surprized at the stuff it found compared to the other ones (including Norton AntiVirus, and my server software)!  I had 4 "dangerous" and 92 "severe" the very first day...that have been on my system for quite a while.


    Since then, I have also been receiving blank emails. I'm now up to 5 every time I receive my mail. I've been getting a lot of junk mail all of a sudden and have no idea why. My favorites are winning the lotteries. If I believed them, I would have a bankroll of well over $100,000,000,000. The other ones where I am named in someone's will. Love it. Dream on.


    Don't know what to say or what else to do about it without changing my email addess again, and I sure don't feel like doing that. I just did change it 3 months ago.


    Generally no emails
    As an IC at a small MTSO, if there is very low workloads, there is usually no email. I thought this was strange myself, since if it was my company, I would be keeping my people closely updated and thinking about them and their needs and anticipating their questions and concerns. I would have to take the initiative to email asking "is there anything wrong?" or "is something the matter with such-and-such account?" or "is there a technical problem somewhere?" I would then get an email answering my question. I think it is impolite and unprofessional for a business not to keep their people closely posted and put them first.
    PS - the other emails are horrendous

    stupid emails!
    Does anybody know how to keep these ridiculous emails from coming? It seems like every day I'm getting more and more of them, you know, the ones that have absolute nonsense in the subject line? I don't read them, just delete them, but I must get 15 or 20 a day and I'm sick and tired of it. I feel like my privacy is being invaded, and it is just junk filling up my mailbox.
    stupid emails
    Okay then, again, thanks very much for your help. I am going to check this out because at this point I'll try anything to stop the insanity! It's just crazy the stupid, stupid stuff people send via email to clog up the mailboxes. I wonder, does anybody even READ this junk? And better yet, does anybody ever BUY stuff from this spam email? Sorry, I just get carried away with this subject; it's a true thorn in my side. Again, I thank you.
    Yes, they can read the emails. nm

    Maybe the *other* board is where the emails came from : )

    Saving sent emails,,sm
    saving sent emails may sound like a good idea, but that is taking up storage space in the email box. I don't know how much quota your email service provides, but mine is not that much, and I have business class. Your sent box is counted as part of your quota, as well, so it would not be advisable to store a months worth of sent emails, particularly with attached files. perhaps she should look into using an FTP site where you could store the files in My Documents and then just send via ftp, which is a whole lot faster than email and it is encrypted for transfer. suggest it to her. and then start charging her for time spent resending files. That is her job, not yours. my boss occasionally will ask for an individual file to be resent, but never a whole months worth. maybe you should also start looking for different employment. I could not work for someone who got mad at me for something she did. sorry. JMO.

    lewd emails
    Yes, I got a bunch of those.  It came from a site that was sending me emails on panic disordewhich was totally unrelated to such things.  The person who operated the panic attack site was very apologetic, she had been victimized by the viagra peddlers and  unwittingly passed it on to her subscribers.   My computer did not get the virus and I set spam filters to reject anything with Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and now the problem is almost gone.  They  do go in spam folder on AOL and I  look there occasionally to be sure that some of my good email hasn't been accidently put there.  Looking at the subject lines sometimes makes me laugh.  these sex pill vendors are either semi literate and/or foreigners.

    who is in San Antonio and may be able to help you.


    I'm in Corpus.


    Just was looking at another MT site and MTs from MQ are talking about getting emails from the
    supervisor threatening them to hire more MTs if the accounts arent kept in TAT and they are sitting there with no work. I think MQ must be so desperate anymore that they are losing their minds. They must work for Amherst also. They keep hiring and hiring and if the weekend has one report out of TAT they hire more people. These companies are losing it I am afraid. I wonder if MQ is losing more accounts that they are doing this.
