In light of the recent NETY thread that was closed...

  1. Do you think NETY threads should be reported for TOS violations before they get ugly?

Can we have an unofficial policy where all inappropriate NETY threads are immediately reported to the moderators for breaking TOS? The recent NETY thread was closed as I was typing a response that included a request for people to not buy into the poster who was a new member on post #2 and was insulting people and therefore I decided must have been trolling. In that post I was also about to request that the moderators close the thread. Before I hit send, the thread was closed and very appropriately I will add.

Edit:

NETY stands for "Nurses Eat Their Young."

I'm OK with the latter...but the PVT--drives me nuts. Not that I find the people who post them offensive--I don't. Totally understand why they want to know. However, it boggles my mind how someone would risk $200 on the trick...or admit that you used an empty gift card to trick the system. Talk about giving nursing a bad name.

Wha? (in a minion voice) People DO this? And ADMIT it?! Tell me you are making this up

I've had the misfortune of reading some threads in which people admit to this. I think there is even a "guide" on how to do this…i.e. cheat the system.

Psu, you cannot believe the look of disgust on my face right now. And nurses were just named them most trusted profession? Shame on these new nurses and students! Yes, that's what I'm calling those who didn't pass and continued to study for the nclex

Those threads are so so annoying, especially when every single solitary person needs to make a new thread about them doing to PVT. I swear they should be banned! Almost every thread demonstrates a lack of reading comprehension because after a long, well-written post explaining why the trick doesn't work for everyone, why the test is scored 2x, etc, people STILL ask dumb questions that were literally answered the post right before theirs.

Also, aren't ANY of these people trying empty gift cards afraid of karma, i.e. getting charged with fraud?
