Not completely true - sm

I have put symbols, kinda like your lone period there, in a message and it posted fine... then received an email from moderator stating the post was deleted due to no content.

MTStars moderator has recently taken an administrative action on your post posted on [whichever] board:

ACTION BY MODERATOR: Message Removed/Deleted

REASON BY MODERATOR: no content

POST SUBJECT: posted on: [date]

There actually was content, but it was not text.

Just sayin...
wow, they have never done that to any of mine. - I used any key that is a black character. s/m

.,~&*(!@#_)(*/.,'"; {}_+-=

to name a few. Never in my years and years of posting did anything get removed like yours did. That is so weird...but then...this board does go haywire at times.

Oh well.
Plus, the subject line IS the message content on those. - why would they do that? s/m

Does not sound right, maybe you are mistaken.
Man! You guys can make a Federal Case - out of anything!

no big deal, just questioning what you are saying when - it does not add up. NM

YA KNOW? I mean...just trying to figure out who is the idiot here, you or me.

Perhaps your subject and name fields - contained no content
[ In Reply To ..]
I think "content" refers to both what is in the subject and name fields, as well as in the post.

The key is to have meaningful information in both.

In the case of "My company culls," the problem might be that the subject line is pretty much meaningless to most people. It doesn't make sense and sounds like some kind of cryptic mystery hint.

Someone has been posting a lot of that lately, with no content, so I wonder if that is the problem.

I think putting nonsense in the post, as in "My company culls," is obnoxious. It wastes others' time. It communicates disrespect for readers and plays up the "I am privy to secret, special things that only I know! HAHAHAHA!!!!" thinking. Very childish.

Huh? I understood that subject line...SM - Old Anon
[ In Reply To ..]
perfectly well because I know what culls means. There was nothing obnoxious, disrespectful, or childish about it. I didn't take it to mean privy to secrets/special things or to be cryptic in any way. If anything, it was an opportunity to learn the meaning of a new word if one didn't know what it meant.
The meaning is ambiguous and the post - itself was silly
[ In Reply To ..]
Sorry, but culls can mean to select or select to get rid of. Which is it?

Posting "totes magotes in inflatable boats" was a waste of everyone's time.
How is the Subject line meaningless? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]
It is a complete sentence - not just "my company culls" - and directly and clearly addresses the OP's subject line and inside message. "Cull" in that context is not ambiguous at all. It has one meaning and directly relates to the question being asked. Nothing disrespectful or secretive about it. If it doesn't make sense, that is the fault of the reader... not the poster.

I agree the inside content is a bit childish but he/she explained why they did it, and it was just silly filler. Lighten up, people!

cull
verb
culls
1.
select from a large quantity; obtain from a variety of sources.
You left out the other meanings - sm
[ In Reply To ..]
In my dictionaries, cull also means to select and remove or kill some of the large quantity.

Saying your company culls from the resume board can mean it hires from the resume board or that it uses the resume board to get rid of some of its applicants.

It is therefore ambiguous.
Anyone with half a brain knows which - meaning she means
[ In Reply To ..]
And if not? Again... a comprehension deficit in the reader, not the poster.

well, there's my other half of brain! I've been looking for that. - you can keep it tho. NM

Excellent Resource For Taking Tests For MTSOs
Aug 18, 2014

I took a test for an MTSO last week that required extensive knowledge of prefixes, roots, and suffixes.  I found an online resource that resulted in my getting 100% on all 4 sections of the test.  I have to admit that I knew probably 75% of them, but this resource helped me pass all of the tests.  http://www.globalrph.com/medterm7.htm However, I haven't heard anything from the company other than "Congratulations!  You passed all 4 tests 100%!"  No actual transcrib ...

Will I Get Hired?
Sep 06, 2010

I have a question for all MedQuist MTs . . . I called them and was told that I qualified and passed MedQuist's test. That was about a week ago. I was told that I am still being "considered" and "reviewed." One recruiter told me that it would just be a matter of time before they could get through all of the paperwork. Another recruiter simply told me my file was still being "reviewed." What does this mean? Does MedQuist always offer jobs to those that pass their testing? Or is it possible t ...

Newly Hired MT

Hello, I am new to the forum and recently hired as an at-home MT. It has been a year since I completed college MT courses at a tech center. The employer, saw my resume online. I have a p/t job that I've had for 2 years in addition to the MT job. Both jobs, are flex in hours, although the MT employer would like full-time. It pays 8 cents for every 60 characters. I would really love to drop the p/t job because it miserable in many ways. Can someone break the pay down in other terms? W ...

How Much MT Experience Is Too Much To Get You Hired?
Nov 15, 2011

I spent last week typing test dictations for transcription jobs. After typing five tests today for one company and then 3 more for another company I am wondering why I haven't been called back on any of these jobs. I have heard of having too little experience, but is there such a thing has having too much experience that a company is afraid to hire you because they think you will demand to be paid too much. Even though I have 10+ years experience I am willing to take 7 cpl just so that I c ...


Has The Q Hired A Flunky?
Jan 09, 2012

I've been getting the impression that the Q is paying someone to contest all the negative posts.  In the last week or so, as soon as something negative is posted it is answered almost immediately.  I do not think an MT could be working and still be immediately available to do this.  I've also never met anyone personally who defends this place. ...

Why Didn't I Get Hired?
Aug 27, 2012

I have been a MT for 30 yrs. I had to stop working 4 yrs ago due to health issues, then finally had 2 surgeries which pretty much took care of the problem. While I was out on disability I got a grant, went back to an AHDI approved University and took refresher courses in MT fulltime for a year. Now, I'm ready to get back to work. I submitted a resume to M-Modal last week and just read they are not considering me. Is there a way to find out why? I'm a good transcriptionist and I want to ...


What Are My Chances Of Getting Hired Anywhere
Aug 31, 2012

I have two years experience but my experience is not recent.  I did not graduate from a school or course, rather, I was trained by an MTE and by someone who had a general practice that they typed for.  Eventually I was able to take over the general practice but had to give it up because my husband's health was critical. I would like very much to get back to MT work but the ads I'm seeing are not conducive to me thinking I'm going to get hired......  What y'all ...
