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.
Thank you and thank MTStars..NM

Maybe MTStars
is also hindering your production?

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.
I'm on MTstars posting so...
work is still low. Been able to meet my committment, but it takes all day.
MtStars, new soap..i love it!
 I ditto your sentiments..it IS like getting hooked to a soap. I read so many posters that tend to go for the jugular, when an opinion is posted contrary to some beliefs. My daughter, who is also an MT, but in house at a hospital, just got "hooked" on this board and can't believe how "catty" some can be.
Well, it is all over, in house or at home, in medical transcription or K-Mart, been around for ages, but sometimes it gets brutal in my book.
I won't flame you for being a MQ MT...been there myself for close to 10 years now and it works for me, period.
Love the MTStars Job board....
No Jobs from MTSOs involved in offshoring, sending good/easy dictators to India, Pakistan, Philippines etc and keeping the ESL garbage for us here.

Yep. Go to the home page for MTStars

Keep your eye on the MTstars job seekers board.
There are ads for ortho accounts quite often, but the ads are usually deleted when the positions are filled.
YES! On MTStars you are allowed to say CHRISTMAS!
Well, think about it!! They lied to the MTStars Admin.

MTStars administration says time and again...s/m
MT Stars has said time and time again to NEVER correct other posters misspellings and/or incorrect grammar.
Play nicely now, or don't you all know how to follow the rules, which, by the way, are for everyone!
ATSI Thread on MTStars
I saw a recent job listing on another site for an MT radiology position with ATSI, then I came here to find info about them. Doesn't sound promising. Link to short thread about ATSI is included.
And another, more recent thread on MTStars
http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/86381.html
yes, MTStars says it is okay to give company name.

You are committing libel against MTStars. sm
MTStars does not provide ANY information on any poster to any individual or company.
If you receive an email through the MTStars board, the ONLY way your email address is exposed is if you respond back to them.
MTStars Team
they are on the FORUM, as I said
I guess you need to look harder. Just because you dont see them does not mean they arent there.
Not really, but I would not put it on this forum without
xxx
forum
The company website then the MLS forum. Not sure if it extends to the MDI-FL side or not.
new forum
As unscrupulous as they are at this company - please verify that you are not the current owners, or tech support. I know they are crafty enough to set up something like this to get the scoop on names of those speaking about them. They are in a jam, everybody is lying about us mode and are inane enough to think that if one person says something about them that they can confirm who the players are they can get them for slander. Of course slander or defamation of character is something that someone says that they know to be false.....have not heard a thing that cannot be proven - bad checks, no pay, etc.
I would love to join this forum, but confirming who I am is not giving me much relief that you are not them, and that they cannot join - I mean who knows more about their crap then they do?
Also how long before you respond to a sign up?
Thank you - that is what this forum is for!

MQ forum
Ahhh, wish you could too! One thing I can say,it is never boring. :)
New Forum
Not a bad idea. It's about time we turn the tables and take control of the industry. After all, they cannot serve clients without qualified MTs, and we should have a right to all the information we can acquire about them without blindly giving out our personal information. OMG, one company even wants the SS # in order to apply. I like your idea.
New forum
I ran across a fairly new board that you might be interested in at FOSTonline.com - maybe we could start one over there?
but, on MQ forum the other day
somone posted they were editing reports from india, the fourth time around as a matter of fact, and if the US MT submits too many in for QA they were on performance management.
MDI forum
So, are you saying that people loyal to MDI wouldn't be welcome? Do you just want a forum for people wanting to leave or for all MDI MTs? You could set up something on Yahoo groups and people could set up anonymous Yahoo emails to come in and I think the group administrator would have to allow or not allow people to join. Just wondering what kind of group specifically you want to start.
Hmmmm. Did you just suggest that people not come to MTStars?
You are a total mess, and how anyone could take anything you say seriously is beyond me.
You have a real problem! Please seek help!
NO..the only place I ever hear news on MQ is on MTStars.
Most of the time they don't even know who is working for them. They never call. They never write.
instead of calling this MTStars, why not call it MQstars - sm
 yes, I am being sarcastic, but it seems like the non-MedQuist people have to weed, dig, hack and puke through all the MQ posts just to get to read anything on this board!
There, I feel better now that I have vented. 
That is a Google ad, it is not an MTStars banner. Take a closer look.

Was let go from Zylomed because of posting to MTStars board
Just a little followup to my post of 10-14-06 post to this board. The Zylomed MT manager failed to address the real issue I raised concerning taking away regular work without notice or explaination, but decided to let me go today because of my post about their company to this board. So, because of my comments I have been let go. Maybe it's best to not name company names (excuse me, my tongue is in my cheek) on a board that's specifically designed to uncover these problems. So, MTs beware, I guess. However, I received many supportive emails from others visiting this board--one of those kind MTs referred me to another service that I'm starting with tomorrow (while I beat the pavement locally.) Much happier MT today! Feel like I can breathe again. This board has awesome support. All worked out well.
Isn't that the MTStars Administrator/owner's business?

Just to advise, that company does not have access to MTStars
