Seems like the forum is a training ground or simply a way for them to express a personal opinion.  This requirement should have occurred a long time ago.  I'm glad at least some are conforming to the requirement.  I have often been accused of working for AT&T...suffice it to say, I DO NOT

Well I come here cause I just enjoy helping people I have had to be very careful what I say/type as to not reveal information I shouldn't so I didn't get in trouble.

No real surprises yet but I'm still expecting a few more to appear.

umm, I am not seeing the sigs, it would seem I am suppose to have one as well.

How do you set your sig manually ?

You do have one.

You probably just need to turn on your "view signatures" option in your profile settings.

Go to My Profile > Preferences and check the box next to "View signatures in messages"

I have been told so many different things, I find it is easier to walk away.

Yes at one point, we were telling reps not to identify themselves as such, because at that time, that was the policy in place. As the announcement states posted on February 9, 2010 regarding this, the policy was changed and employees are now required to identify themselves and will be tagged with a disclaimer signature. After all of your time with us here on the forums, we would hate to see you leave, but understand if you choose to do so.

Only thing with this is I get a message saying they feel I MAY be a employee.. At what point do they decide they are certain you are?! Cause all I've done really is anwser questions off personal expereince and simple research that can easily be found in AT*Ts search engine. Plsnet-Ed should know what I'm talking bout he copies and paste that stuff 24/7 lol

[scooterjes]

When you entered your cell # when you registered is how they probably know that you are/were a employee my best guess maybe a mod will chime in with a exact answer if they don't it's pure speculation.

[dysfunxion]

I don;t even remeber doing that although that was a year ago and if its something like this, I normaly put a dummy number in cause I feel as though they don't need my cell number for any reason or any personal info such as name and such so all my profile is completely incorrect about me and who I am, so it can't be that it must be off assuming i supose

[scooterjes]

Well I guess you would have to figure out a way to prove that you are not a employee you would need to PM mod.moose or 1 of the other mods for a exact answer.

[wilcre ACE - Expert]

Most likely they seen a IP addy that is registered and or associated to ATTM thus that makes you either a employee or an affiliate to ATTM; thus you have to play by their rules.

[dysfunxion]

that is possible but also possible that everyone doesnt use a work computer to do this. I guess maybe I'll pray for a MOD to reply lol

[Scholar Yoshi]

Why do the boards think i am a employee of att?

[hme83 ACE - Master]

Are you saying you are not an employee of or affiliated with AT&T?

Here is the announcement regarding the recent requirement for employees/affiliates to disclose their status:

http://forums.wireless.att.com/t5/Announcements/Recent-update-to-the-User-Guidelines-Employee-and-Pa...

[scooterjes]

This is the 2nd person I've seen flagged as a employee who says they are not I wonder if there is a dispute process for that.

LOL!! I just read your post. There was a signature under your name. I guess THAT was why people thought you were an employee. Thanks Scholar Yoshi..I got a good laugh out of that one.

[dysfunxion]

I may have the sig far as me bluntly stating I am or am not a att employee, I believe that should be kept out the forums but hey its their guidelines I respect them

[WirelessForeman]

Any time we tag someone with the employee disclaimer, we have validated that they are indeed an employee or associated with one of our affiliates. We never assume that someone may or may not be an employee. We have several methods, internally and externally to validate employment down to employee specific information.

Are you stating that you are not an employee and we have tagged you incorrectly?

[Scholar Yoshi]

I am not saying that I am not an employee,(

Spoiler

I am

) but I never have stated on the boards that I am one. and I do not wish to be flagged as one.

me too

well i think this will be a reason to be proud

I would think that knowing you have the employee tag on your comments, you would be wise to NOT make comments or posts that question AT&T policy or bash practices. To those who operate under a Labor Agreement, take this as advice from a Chief Steward....for those who aren't.......well, I still offer this advice. I have seen several topics and threads where this has and is being done. If the folks doing it aren't working here anymore, those that are will be coming up for review soon, for sure. If your Facebook posts are being monitored, and they are, THIS should be the last place to act a fool.

/just good advice

If you're an ATT employee and need one of those ATT sigs, why don't you send one of the mods a PM and see how to get one.

I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to post your comments and opinions related to this topic. This topic has been thoroughly discussed and will now be closed.

If you are a employee please PM Jamileh to receive the Employee signature.
