If compensation is the issue notifications should be turned off and 
nagios used as a report tool. Setting the variables that control 
nagios's logic to a value that is clearly creating problems isn't the 
right way to suppress notifications.

If you want me to not filter your posts in the future, I suggest you 
start acting like an adult and stop going for my throat every time we 
disagree on something. It is actually possible to argue over something 
without claiming the other party to be an idiot.
