In Reply to: Wow! OMG. A big no no. - shaking my head.
from the board. Since we all figured that she must be new on this board making such a faux pas, I thought that she does not know how to tell the moderator to remove her post.

TO REMOVE YOUR OWN POST -- SM
If you want your own thread removed, please e-mail me directly.
I will not remove a post that does not violate posting guidelines just because someone claims to be the author of it and requests it through the report a message feature.
Thank you,
Goldbird
How to remove post
Click on your original post and look in the blue strip across the top (just below the advertisement). Click on the button to report message with the smiley icon beside it. Send it to the moderator and they will remove it.

Is it really thumbs up for thumbs down? Do 9 other people have to vote?
Dear Moderator: Regarding post below
(sorry, the only way I can reply is to post a new message)
Regarding my message below (MTnest), you wrote:
This site is not affiliated with Webmedx. If people choose to respond positively about that company, they have every right to do so. Not every person has the same experience with any company.
Negative comments are not tolerated about this company; that is why I thought perhaps they owned this board.
My point was not that people choose to post positively, but was that why are people not allowed to post negatively lately toward this company without being intimidated or having 5 or 6 posters immediately come out swinging? Does not matter to me, just an observation because this board seems to have become less open.
It is like everything nowadays. You have to find out who is sponsoring something to make sure you are getting objective information. If people are no longer able to post honestly without fear of intimidation, then the whole dynamics of this particular board have changed, unfortunately. It used to be fun to come here and get all points of view, good or bad, and make up my own mind.
it's okay to post company name, per moderator.

I believe the moderator said OSi is no longer allowed to post.
n/m
I reported your post to the moderator, WE are not animals, maybe YOU are...nm
nm
When nm guessed correctly, the moderator pulled that post too.
She guessed with a line from Romeo and Juliet without giving a name and that post was pulled too.
MODERATOR why is this company allowed to post a job opening here
when it's an offshore company??? They are looking for in-house MTs, and they are located in Pakistan... 
To Moderator: Is Seroesh Saleem Akhtar allowed to post on the jobs board?
Moderator answered "Not True" which means she will not delete post with name and link (nm)
I asked for the above post.... more
....to be removed. I asked nicely. The administrators on this site decided not to take it down. How sweet of them to do that.
Be careful of posting on sites that don't allow self-editing or self-deleting. If you make an error, stupid or not, it's yours to eat. The people here will not help you.
I had a post removed too and all I asked was about
companies that hire for Radiology.
OK< but the post asked who would SUPPORT
the concept?
You are *totally* entitled to having all or mostly negative feelings toward unions - they can be just as bad as nothing.
So, we'll put you down for a no thanks and move on... :)
post asked about 10 cpl for transcribing, not VR
nm
I asked this the other day on another post - didn't get an answer
xx
Your post doesn't answer the question I asked.
You said you LIKE to pay your bills, you have a good rapport with your supervisor, you're flexible. Does "you're flexible" mean that you work in addition to your 8-hour shift when the work load is low to make your 20K lines per pay period?
Maybe because not ALL companies post there. He/She just asked a simple question!
x
Oops, I just asked if they outsource before I read your post! SM
That is the exact reason why I am looking for a new company is voice recognition that my account just started doing very heavily, and I HATE it! If I don't get an e-mail response from them by Monday, I might call them to see if they have any current openings.
Too busy working to post anything...plus no one has asked any questions about them lately...

Denise
Wow...Thanks so much for the info on this company. I was actually supposed to get up and going tomorrow with them and today I had emailed back and forth with them to set up, and I sent two emails asking for a confirmation on the pay scale and haven't heard back so that made me wonder a lot!! I didn't think that was a tough question so when I didn't get a response on two attempts, I pretty much convinced myself that it might not be a good idea! Thanks again for the honest posts!
Denise
I do not think the Terminator is the source of all of California's problems. How about addressing the issue of too many illegals taking too many resources (look at how many California hospitals have been forced into bankruptcy simply because of unpaid bills), too many folks riding the welfare train and not taking any personal responsibility, etc. The Terminator is not blameless, of course, but there area many other factors at play here. The saddest part is that great medical institutions such as the University of California system are being hurt. MTs and others are being laid off. Medical education programs are being cut. No one person or thing is the source.
Denise
If you will allow an old pro to offer you some friendly advice, here goes: It is extremely unwise to post your personal information on a public bulletin board. It simply is not safe to do this. E-mail is a much more appropriate means of communication. Good luck to you.
The supervisor's name was Denise. nm

question for denise
can I ask what platform you are on? I have a friend who works at KS and is on Meditech having a horrible time getting her lines.
Thank you, Denise. Couple of questions . . .
Did they have you do any transcription in the pre-employment phase? Do you get a lot of ESL? What type of work do you do? Is the work put into a pool or are you assigned accounts? Do you have benefits?
Anyone know which company Denise Williams is recruiting for?
for the Editor position?
BOS is BS when we remove the O, right?
The BOS used to be a good tool. The new version is horrendous and all the English teachers and professors I had during my education would roll over in their graves if they saw the new rules. I use the old version along with all I learned from the wonderful teachers I had the good fortune to have and quite a few tried and true reference books. I could never take seriously and use advice from a book of style that does not even believe in the complete sentence concept. Sometimes, if there is a serious gray area, I research in current medical journals for the standards used by the PHYSICIANS themselves, not some panel or whatever of bumblers who want to create their own reality. They make a great deal of money from selling this schmuck, so my advice is to get the old book of style and take good care of it, get Stedmans Word Books, use proper grammar, spelling, and research at reliable sites who have nothing to gain from creating an artificial reality in the medical language arena. Now that AAMT is no longer an American organization I have my serious doubts about anything they put forward. As for standards at work so everyone will create a uniform document, I must comment that if those documents are uniformly wrong, then have any of us gained anything? If there are 20 transcriptionists all using the same wrong reference is that progress? Is that good patient care? That is why medical Transcriptionist jobs exist, remember? Another thought, if someone publishes and sells a book that changes the alphabet as we know it, grammar and usage as we know it, or say even the names of everything as we know them would we all run out and buy that and change our language accordingly? Would a wagon then be a Wagun because the new book stated that was the true and correct name? Give me a break. A wagon is a wagon. A complete sentence is a complete sentence. Graves' disease is that way because a guy named Graves discovered the disease. It could also be typed as Graves's disease (but that is funny-looking). He was not named Grave. That is where you go when they bury you, right? That is why it is not Grave's disease.
Thank you for this platform on which to vent my anger and disgust with all of this. My physicians are professionals in the medical field. I produce their documents to reflect their professionalism and to enable them to provide excellent patient care, no matter what BOS says or does not say.
but it does not remove anything....
from the registry, so if the program was set to load anything automatically into ram when you start your computer or reboot it, it will continue to use your ram. You have to go to a technician thant KNOWS how to clean up your registry to get rid of all the remnants of a program. CCLEANER cleans up your hard drive.
I agree with Denise...I have also only been at Keystrokes for a shor time but I love it...it already
beats the company I was with before, and I was with them for a year-and-a-half...I can see if someone wanted an opinion about a company and you had a bad experience to share, but not just to get on here and say how horrible a company is...move on and good luck....
No company is able to remove posts. (SM)
Only the Administrator and moderators, such as myself, have the ability to do so.
Please take up your questions with the Administrator.
Goldbird
She could remove all MQ-related stuff, samples, etc.

Can we remove our glossary from company computer?
I am attempting to move a glossary which I created over 4 years via e-mail which is proving to be difficult as an attachment to use on my PC for a side job.
Is there a company policy that says we cannot do this? (Spheris).
Yes, they'll have to remove superlatives from the web site
No longer can they put the best, proudest, most dedicated and conscienscious MTs. New PR/advertising will in the future say:
Acusis...our American employees are just average and only moderately concerned with quality, but by Vishnu, our management eats the best samosas and curry a rupee can buy!!
Correction: One is told to remove or change the nasty expressio
from your post before it can posted.
When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!
xx
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
OK, where's the moderator on this one?
Not OK - I think you should be banned. This language is COMPLETELY uncalled for. Cut it.
The moderator said....
post nicely and all I read here in this thread are personal attacks....sure sounds and looks like stalking to me.
Not that anyone asked my opinion and I'm just adding my 2 cents after just finding this website 2 days ago. All bulletin boards are the same - they get real nasty, unfortunately.
Personally, I don't see how personal attacks on how someone left a former company is productive or conducive to learning on these bulletin boards. Posting people's personal info on whether they were fired or not should also not be allowed.

Moderator..
Please delete duplicate post. Don't know how that happened. Thanks.
MODERATOR HELP PLEASE
Has it been confirmed by the company on this board that they are offshoring work?
I am still not sure if I should go with them or not.
To Moderator
Is there any way to do a search on this board and come up with the more recent posts? Whenever I do a search, I come up with posts as of 7-8 months ago and then older, and I know there are posts from just a week ago. Am I doing something wrong, or is there no way to include the most recent posts (up to within the last few days) in a search. TIA.
FOR MODERATOR
I'm sorry - I meant to post this under MQs forum - can you move please? sorry about that.
The moderator (nm)
Half the board is taken up with employees and insiders' posts... but then again I don't really care :)
Um, that's moderator... nm

MODERATOR
I feel this is an appropriate section for this because it is aimed towards companies that outsource but also includes political views to try and influence the reader to look for companies that do not outsource. I believe it could also be posted on a separate page to cover the political view, but this is aimed to grab the reader's attention with the aim towards American companies that do not offshore.
Well moderator, I think she knows to look there, duh!
She is looking for some recommendations of good companies. Geesh!
TO THE MODERATOR
Whoever this person is posting as SoftScript management and posting such derrogatory remarks about people should be banned from posting here. If that person does truly work for Softscript, she is definitely hurting them, and if she doesn't, well....she is definitely hurting them. I do not, nor have I ever worked for SS, but I find her comments to other people totally out of line and extremely offensive. Please consider this.
Now where's the moderator
They've got another posting up there now looking for someone in their Bangalore office, which is a bit of a commute for a US based transcriptionist.
