Incoherentbot aka chimps would never dream of using bullying tactics of course.

Most of chimps original offensive posts have now been deleted for breaking talk guidelines but now they're here to tell us all how to behave. Not to mention the thinly veiled threats to Melaw.

Chimps is only trying to make this thread look like it's unfair to discredit it. If anything they just show the nasty side of MLM, imagine being in their downline.

Also, I'm pretty sure we all have an opinion on other subjects such as the way refugees in France are being treat, just that isn't the topic of this particular thread, is it?

workingwithchimps · 01/03/2016 13:04

Yep Eyes - "free-thinking" - so what are your views on the current situation that is unfurling over in France at the moment, let me have your "take" on the "oppressed" minority currently fighting for their rights?

Eyespying · 01/03/2016 13:06

throwingpebbles Do I still have your (sober) permission to use that 'T' word?, because it perfectly describes what's going on here.

JoolsSchmools · 01/03/2016 13:07

Lets not let incoherentbot derail the thread anymore, I think its a perfectly good example of one of the kinds of people who sign up to these things. Ie arseholes, in my opinion of course.
Not including people like ray etc obviously.

workingwithchimps · 01/03/2016 13:12

Patzy - my take on MLM is as it's always been, and I have already stated previously, it gives me a good income, I read all I needed before I joined, I don't believe anyone has been conned or coerced in any way - it works for some and not for others - if it doesn't " them's the brakes" - move on and try something else.... crying in your soup just makes it watery - whichever company you are in has it's own ethics, products and culture like any multi-national or organisation - you choose to either adopt it or walk away. Nobody is forced to stay or continue in my experience - the lure of riches is just not a reason for believing you will make it in life.

acatcalledjohn · 01/03/2016 13:13

chimps, if you want to talk about non MLM goings on in France, I recommend you start your own thread in a relevant category here on MN. This thread is about MLMs. You either join in about the topic, or you will get reported for derailing the thread repeatedly. Your choice.

throwingpebbles · 01/03/2016 13:18

erm chimps I think you meant 'breaks' not 'brakes'

and if one of my junior staff didn't succeed at their job I would place the responsibliyt on my own shoulders for not training them adequately / recruiting the wrong person. I hate this way of washing your hands of what goes on.

eyes throw it around with abandon and I'll line the drinks up these evening. maybe when I have necked them all chimps posts will start to appear intelligible

lazycoo · 01/03/2016 13:18

I actually could start hitting the shots... The last few pages have given me a good laugh. Let's hear it for TRAGICOMICBOT!

Did anyone else notice that as soon as I handed a sincere olive branch to CS, this idiot pipes up? Like, straight away?

I suppose a top bot defecting would be too much for FL so let's derail the thread. Hai FLHQ!

workingwithchimps · 01/03/2016 13:18

Actcalledjohn - report away - whilst you do that, also report the continual slander, piss taking pictures posted re peoples eyebrows, houses - rented, sold or otherwise, the un-substantiated claims as to people's personal lives - that have nothing whatsoever to do with MLM. - Feel free please...

cozietoesie · 01/03/2016 13:18

If 'fellow world leaders' were to be used, it would provide an interesting insight into the grandiosity of the views of distributors. They would almost be thinking - in those terms - that their world was the whole world.

NorbertDentressangle · 01/03/2016 13:29

Aloedofcrap - was that post that was removed (by one of the eyebrow's minions) about an event in a garden centre?

If so it's still on one of the bot's walls.

Patzy85 · 01/03/2016 13:29

Well obviously Chimps that is not what everyone has experienced.

Aloedofcrap · 01/03/2016 13:33

Norbert it is indeed

NorbertDentressangle · 01/03/2016 13:40

Alodofcrap - here you go.

Minion had been out and about so presumably hasn't had chance to remove it yet.

Do you reckon the garden centre are aware that they were gong to be running this child friendly event from their coffee shop?

Patzy85 · 01/03/2016 13:40

So the top Irish FL bots have all now defected to Arrix taking their downlines with them? A sign of things to come I feel.

ECs new website is very careful to hide Forever Living as the opportunity she offers. Maybe because she something new in the pipeline.

I know her pro-planners have been sold alongside Arrix merchandise on a previous thread.

Aloedofcrap · 01/03/2016 13:48

Norbert I think there may be a side room that they can hire out but not absolutely certain about that.

Unfortunately I am too busy in my J.O.B to pop along, shame. Be interesting to see if anyone will turn up the FL market is properly saturated around here!

Melaw21 · 01/03/2016 13:48

chimps* which/how many successful MLM's have you participated in?

workingwithchimps · 01/03/2016 13:52

JoolsSchmools - are you calling me an "arsehole" ?

cozietoesie · 01/03/2016 13:53

'Transferable skills', Patzy. Wink

acatcalledjohn · 01/03/2016 13:54

Chimps, these houses and eyebrows etc are used to promote the lifestyles and get people to sign up, because that's it in MLM's, you sell a lifestyle. So it IS all part of the discussion.

FLhahaha · 01/03/2016 13:55

I can't find 'fellow world leaders' can someone link? I need a giggle!

workingwithchimps · 01/03/2016 13:55

Melaws - 3 in total - only one has worked out for me to date, of the others one does no longer exist - the other was not my "thing" in the end

rayofhope · 01/03/2016 13:56

I love the line that mlm isn't for everyone. Chimps you're right, it's not for the 99% who quit quite soon after joining after they realise it's not all it's cracked up to be and for the ones like me who tried to make it work and got in debt because of it. During trainings, your business is even planned to involve a 50% drop out rate but the reality is a lot higher

After all the figures don't lie, do they?

You may be making money from it but the majority of your team aren't

workingwithchimps · 01/03/2016 13:57

acatcalledjohn - how can eyebrows be used to promote a lifestyle? - ffs - if you can really do this then I am going to start recruiting using my toes - they are my best feature!

workingwithchimps · 01/03/2016 14:00

Ray - what I make and what they make are down to individual effort - I make the effort - if you don't - don't be surprised ya pay packet is slim - you get out what you put in - try to beat the system by buying too much stock and complain that the deck is stacked against you - that is why each company has a marketing plan.
