FL because it might be appealing to people who aren't into his style? this is why linking is good. a wide variety of viewpoints and tones can only be a good thing.

I also don't agree it's not informative. There's plenty of info on the TV page to show how much bs there is in MLMs. It's just presented in a more joking way.

Bots now trawling shops in pairs. If this happened to me, I'd report them to the shopping centre management. Thry'd be thrown out. Shopping centres don't like this type of soliciting.

blog update: noticing more and more searches for "timeless vie" so that's good.

sminkypink · 11/01/2016 19:48

Being approached in a shopping centre is creepy and intimidating, if you ask me.

lastuseraccount123 · 11/01/2016 19:51

yeah. totally.

Have just been checking out my FB and you have beaten me to it with Lady Claire. Took all of two minutes to track down the house she 'lost'. Probably the agents ran a credit check and found her wanting.
As for renovation properties in the area she's going to be looking for a long time. We have been looking for a good doer upper for the last 12 months and there is nothing on the market at the moment.

501 likes on the TV FB page! Good work people, and thank you!!

Whether or not you think it's informative is up to you. I think it is. It's creating peer pressure, giving a chance to reflect on the real MLMs and generating interest in the cause. We are all on the same side even if we prefer different communication styles.

darceybussell · 11/01/2016 20:48

Perhaps the TV Facebook page should post a photo of the Disney castle or Buckingham palace and announce that she is moving there Wink

Annie65 · 11/01/2016 21:05

Ok gonna shut my piehole, keep up the good work every1, bye

GreenGoblin0 · 11/01/2016 21:06

fastdaytears · 11/01/2016 21:08

Ha! But that can't be for real? Is the bot confused or taking them down from the inside?

lazycoo · 11/01/2016 21:11

Huh? What did I miss annie?

Going to find out TV megabot a castle. She's earned it cough

stqueen · 11/01/2016 21:22

greengoblin that sounds like a boycott to me - could the tide be turning?!

In the meantime, a bit of #bossbabe inspiration for my bot Confused

My MLM bot took great delight in telling me they had been to a presentation by a doctor, an "expert in Aloe Vera" who was telling the audience how that shit their products could cure people with coeliac disease, as the condition is only an inflammation of the gut, combated by the anti- inflammatory nature of aloe.
Err, no. It's an autoimmune disease. It can't be cured. --and I thought you had a biology degree, mate?

M0biusgeek · 11/01/2016 21:43

This script PDF for juice plus is very amusing. I think it's been posted before on the very wary threads...There's a bit where they are to imply that they are not needy by actually saying, "okay, we are not needy" when someone turns them down GrinGrin

www.teamrhinotv.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/TIPS-AND-SCRIPTS.pdf

I'm trying to find the PDF where one of the opening conversation scripts TELLS the bots to say, "Hi! Oh, your baby is gorgeous .."

GreenGoblin0 · 11/01/2016 21:43

definitely don't think it's a boycott. they are just too dense to see how they contradict themselves

M0biusgeek · 11/01/2016 21:44

*Wary = early

GreenGoblin0 · 11/01/2016 22:07

wow M0Bius that presentation is pure gold. it's like the instructions for some sort of board game. they actually refer to potential customers as 'plays'

Eyespying · 11/01/2016 22:16

GreenGoblin0

'it's like the instructions for some sort of board game.'

Many a true word is spoken in jest.

MrGrumpy01 · 11/01/2016 22:16

Now I know my spelling and grammar isn't always the best but that presentation is pretty awful at points.

Confirms what we know though, that never mention the product and any discussions take place 'off-line'

lastuseraccount123 · 11/01/2016 22:45

yup, it does.

and come back Annie65. you're still welcome here.
