Go to the Gab board to see a picture
that wears a shock collar. I think he looks horribly unhappy, don't you????
By the way, he "smiles" all of the time!!!!!!!!!!!
how does one get a moderator on this board?
.
MODERATOR could we have a msg board just
I started using this board about 10 years ago, then quit for about 9, and just started using it again this year. I remember being on the board the day a poster asked if we could have a separate board just for MQ. We did, but now after coming back after 9 years, not much has changed on here....except we that are jobs are changing. It would be a nice to have a place to share experiences.
MODERATOR - CHECK JOB BOARD sm
there's one from India there.
Moderator: VR board? I know it was mentioned ..sm
before but don't think it was addressed. It would be great to have a board for VR issues. With VR such a part of our industry now, whether we like it or not, it would be great to have a board we could visit for tips and tricks, and just general support.
moderator is doing a good job, board is clean.

Where did U get my picture??
Getting the picture
NOW you're all getting the picture. You vote with your feet. Don't expect anybody else, especially government, to come to your rescue. I also tell anybody that I come across that asks (even if they don't, I'll still tell them) to find out where the heck their medical records are being shipped to. If doctors are getting questioned enough by various different people, maybe, just maybe, they'll get the hint.
So, just what is the whole picture on the

I tried to put the picture in here but it did not work...
LOL...I can picture it
It's a bird, it's a plane, no....it's SURGICAL CLARENCE!!!!! Super hero, mender of all patients.
Thanks for the laugh.
My take on the big picture of VR
I really think the companies such as Dictaphone, have a very good sales staff, that talks a good talk to the powers that be at the hospitals, that they can save money, yada yada yada with the VR then the hospitals are justified in lowering the rate of pay for the VR ... so we are spending more time making sure these reports are correct, but getting less money for our time... WE LOSE OUT!
Thank you Moderator. sm
I find it unbelievable that people are posting account names. What happened to the confidentiality agreements they signed with their companies? Bizarre.
thank you, moderator
:)
can the moderator tell me
where it went? Thanks !
Thanks moderator!!! I appreciate you!
Thank you, Moderator
Thank you for allowing the prayer request board on the Gab Board.
Hey Moderator
I won a scavenger hunt. Forgot to put in there that I live in Florida. Thanks again. 
you really should take that up with the moderator. obviously
plenty here have no problem with this board.
Thank you, Moderator!
I certainly would not want to offend anyone, and I appreciate your taking the time to let me know how you feel about this.
By the way, I am very impressed with the job you are doing keeping the board on track and moving it in the right direction. It is like a breath of fresh air!
If at any time you do receive complaints about my avatar, please feel free to contact me and I will do whatever you wish.
Best regards,
Running on MT
2 moderator...
What I am hearing is some want a tranquil place to take a break yet still discuss things pertaining to MT, like a conversation you would have drinking a cup of coffee at Starbucks or Barnes and Noble. I don't think a lot of the opinions going back and forth would sit well in a peaceful environment. They would probably have to call security.
I don't think bringing it up will help the situation but I think that it's the arguments after an opinion is given that the OP is referring to. Can't speak for the OP but ....
maybe a meditation board or quiet room board might help...
moderator
what the heck is going on with the main board? people asking about companies etc?
MODERATOR

What is wrong with this picture?
You got $400 and I only got $25?????? I mean, WTF?????????????????
something is wrong with that picture
I was not considered level II until I did 1600 lpd (VA account) after one year.
Here is a web site and picture of
http://www.roseoffices.com/
More like the picture at the very top on the right, I believe it is 26' x 36'. I know I can't afford the others and probably not the one I want either but this gives you an idea of the type of situation or setup I am talking about.:)
Did you see the latest picture of her (sm)
possibly pregnant, reading the junk magazines while going through the grocery store line?
So very, very few good or talented actors these days. Give me Jerry Lewis or Bill Murray any day. And actresses? I can't even list any I like anymore besides Marily Monroe. 
you are not seeing the big picture here for american MT's
Anyone can start a board, site.
What kept me here was their true dedication to US the American medical transcriptionists. Everyone is selling is out left and right.
If we dont stand up for ourselves we will be working for 4 cents a line.
All of the insulting offshoring companies in the GLOBAL NETWORKING COMMUNITY are now LAUGHING at us.
Do you think that is funny?
I don't think it is funny.
I think we've been sold out.
We are cheap labor. Nothing to bargain for.
All of your years of knowledge now count for NOTHING.
Good luck to you in the new global network.
I'm getting the full picture now. Not...
a pretty picture is it?
Oh DO share a picture with us all
We'd all just LUV to see him and please don't disappoint everyone with the old "Sorry, I don't have one" or "I don't know how to get the pic on the computer" because we just can't take no for an answer! We're sure you've got photos coming out of the woodwork on someone that cute but please, no substitutions with a pic of Brad Pitt all doctored up K?
We're all waiting ..........................................
Okay. Since you asked, here's his picture.
This was taken last week. He's the guy in large picture, dead center, ( ) and I'm over on the right ( ) in the smaller photo with pony tail. Sorry, they snapped our photos so fast neither one of us had the chance to take our glasses off! LOL!
To see our pics go to

I only see one picture of the male.....nm
What's wrong with this picture
If you have to work 3 jobs, something's gotta give. Lifestyle change, job change, something....life's too short to spend it all working.
A True Picture
Thank you for your post! Those of you that gave me an actual response instead of insults have given me a true picture of what MT is, and it is very different from what training companies would have you believe. It seems to be more work than I am willing to put forth.
Thanks!
I think a lot of people don't see the big picture.
For the most part MTs either had on-the-job training or have a certificate that required a year or so of schooling. If you only went to school for a year you probably wouldn't get getting paid anymore than what you can make as an MT. Those of us making upwards of $35,000/year it has taken us years to get to this point. Not necessarily because of wage increases, but because it takes a while to learn enough where you aren't looking up things constantly, takes a while to build your expander, increase typing speed, etc.
For MTs that have benefits they don't figure that into the line rate most of the time. For those who work at home they also don't figure in the clothes, the gas, car maintenance, etc.
I also feel like a lot of MTs complain (and rightly so) because these companies keep coming up with platforms that are not user friendly. If one company can have a platform that is super easy, the MT can be productive, why can't every company do that. It just doesn't make sense to me. If the MT is happy they are more likely to stay. These companies who have constant turnover have to employ several people just to deal with weeding out resumes, testing, training, etc. If they would take that $$ and put it into MT line rates and come up with a better platform they would still come out ahead.
A lot of new MTs buy into the $40,000/year that the TV commercials claim without ever investigating it and are in for a real shock.
There are lots of other reasons people complain. Some people will just not be happy period, doesn't matter if doing MT or not.
Some company, and again rightly so, that they get all the garbage reports while the good stuff gets offshored. I do 85% ESLs and don't mind doing my share, but I don't want to do garbage all day. If I get paid per line I need to be producing lines and if I can't do that then I'm not happy.
I see a bigger picture there than you do - sm
I see the state of US healthcare as a whole, which is going steadily downhill. It's a complicated mess and will take a lot of scrutinizing and picking apart to have any hope of cleaning up some of its dirtier secrets. Taking surveys in various sectors of that industry (especially in MT, a sector that for the most part is totally swept under the rug and ignored) is at least a step in the right direction. Not being interested in taking a survey is a personal decision, and if you feel threatened by it, then by all means steer clear if it makes you feel better. But your all-out attack on the idea, which seems to center around a PayPal button, seems skewed somehow, and makes me think you are MORE threatened by the thought that our profession's dirty laundry just might get aired.
Isn't that picture absurd??
I don't know what they were thinking! It's so ridiculous, it's laughable.
To the moderator - you need to step up
and block this flamer from the board. We come here to chat nicely because we have isolating jobs and don't get out much. There is absolutely no need for someone to make these kind of statements to a mother. If her purpose is just to cause upset, then clearly she has no place here. Do the right thing.
Moderator/Administrator (sm)
I've been trying for weeks to get into chat. No matter what name/password I use, it won't let me in. I tried to reregister and it consistently tells me I'm not using at least six letters in my password even though the ones I've tried are 6 and 9, and then today it finally admitted I already had an account but when I clicked the lost password part it sent me to Error 404. I'm about to give up. Am I not holding my mouth right or something??? Hope you can help and get me into chat again.
oops, sorry moderator
Goldbird Moderator maybe you can help (sm)
I've emailed the administrator twice now and received no response (even gave her a few of the passwords that I know I've used on the internet).  I used to go into chat once in a while to see if anyone was there, but in the past few months I haven't been able to. I tried every password I know I've used and even tried to re-add myself, but it says I'm already in the system (I know that because I used to be able to get into chat). I've asked to have the password sent to me but it's never showed up. How can I get my password sent to me again?
Thank you moderator and poster, much better...nm

moderator question
How do we get tot he Gab board and "funny" board - there is no selection - the only way I was able to get there was through your arrow when you moved it - will there be a selection for that forum on the forum main screen any time soon?
Just curious
admin / moderator
Don't let this thread fall away - move it to the top and lets get everyone to take action - send to news, Glenn Beck at me@glennbeck.com - bombard the media and lets see if we can finally do something. This time it is not just the MT word against others, it is actual video that must be seen by all - Everyone;'s job in jeopardy - not just the MT. Move it to the top. Thanks Hayseed for your post
Thank you, Administrator and Moderator !!!
 And hopefully he has now been blocked. You guys owning and running MTStars are THE_ABSOLUTE_BEST !!!!
question for moderator
 When we post on MTStars, can our employers ever find out who is posting? The reason I ask is because there have been entire pages of posts removed after negative comments have been made about certain companies. One of the companies actually threatened to sue the employee who was badmouthing them, even if what he/she posted was true!
question for moderator
Ah! That makes sense! Thanks, Goldbird.
