MLM Bot Watch 17- chat about Utah based tragicomic cultastic racketeering scamalangadingdongs like Forever Living, Ariix, Herbalife, Younique, Juiceplus etc etc etc

[Toobusytowee]

A brief history of the threads so far-

A few people were bemused at their friends' strange personality changes when they joined MLMs.
Eyespying told us they were tragicomic, thought stopping cultic racketeers.
We told him to go away, he was clearly obsessed, and can he go to his own serious thread?
We delved a bit deeper into the issues.
Eyes started creeping back. We told him he was too serious.
We became more horrified at the information being turned up and were sharing links.
Eyes told us aboutMerchants of Deception.
Timeless Vie was set up as a parody about MLMs.[[www.facebook.com/timelessvie
Facebook,]] Twitter, blog, Instagram and YouTube were all used.
People started coming forward, telling of their experiences in MLMs.
We became more horrified.
Bot Watch started on Facebook where links were put up of interest to do with MLMs.
Botwatchblog started and produced factual analysis of the discussions from MN.
MLM members (bots) waded in saying it was all ok. You can earn great money. You just have to work 19 hours a day and not worry about morals.
Bots complained about their names being used. Their lawyers complained to MNHQ so that MN now do not allow us to use bots' names or show screengrabs of their writings even if it is in the public domain.
Blogs and FB posts increased, with the increasing amount of facts and whistleblowers coming forward.
FL lawyer tried to get TV YouTube video banned.
Bots claimed we were bullying them because we were asking them questions they couldn't answer. we were called middle aged women and accused of being drug dealers.
It got a bit nasty so we ate some cheese for a bit and they went away.
Health claims from FL bots now reducing dramatically as a result of pestering from all of us.
We stopped telling Eyes he was too serious. We all started thinking in his language and realised he was right.
Eyes turned out to be very funny and entertained us all.
Sunday Times article produced exposing FL. With a little help from people here.
Lawyers still persisting in trying to ban TV's videos.

I'm a bit shocked too. Are people not allowed to post on one subject only then?

I think eyes would be good on AIBU threads .

stop - me too! Better go and post on a random thread, pronto...

Is Mary Kaye a MLM scheme does anyone know? My sister was telling me about it in a really evangelical way...

Unbelievable
This proves he was right all along and only goes to strengthen his argument
Very disappointed in mumsnet
I to have only posted on this thread so that's a ban for me

Waves to eye spying

I'd like Eyes back as well please. A suspension should be severe enough, surely?

And yes, Mary Kay is an MLM. A big one.

Eyes will be back. There's more than one way to skin the proverbial cat.

Banning him just proves he was right all along.

Fibbers should remember that the truth always comes out in the end. :)

So disappointed mumsnet. Bring back Eyes!

Rebecca.... Nobody banned chimps for making threats against me and others on here??!!! or chimps' 'friend' (dont dare mention a name' for threatening to out forum members as drug dealers???? It seems if you dont have a US corporation and an extensive legal team behind you that the shoe is well and truly on the wrong foot huh? How dissapointing. Eyes is possibly the one person on this thread who can back up a statement with corresponding evidence and or facts he gets a ban? The information about people that is being shared has been made PUBLICLY available by the individuals THEMSELVES!!! Your rules yes, but quite frankly how utterly one sided.

Also to question, this is the only subject I post on too? But that doesnt mean I am not a valid forum member? This is a wide reaching issue affecting mumsnetters and their families and and eyes advocates against the exploitation of these individuals, in his own time. 😞 Sad days guys...

One more thing... Hate speech????? When exactly???? Just because 'someone' makes an allegation, that doesnt make it true!

I miss Eyes :(

Listen to what was posted, guys. You want these threads to continue?

Thats exactly it cubic!!! Disgraceful!

Who is that aimed at cozie?

There's no defamation if it's true. The harassment from what I can see has actually come from the aggressive threads posted by forever living recruiters. I cannot understand the mumsnet position on listening to people who are operating a very dodgy scheme over people who are revealing true facts and figures, I would have thought you would be keen on supporting people preventing vulnerable mums from being scammed. I for one would be happy to be legally liable for all I post, and I'm quite sure that eyes would be too as I can't see what has been said that could bring about any actual legal action. It's easy to cry foul and try and make another smokescreen to try and prevent the truth being told.

LMGTFY bloody well said!!!!

And no doubt the 'Apeish' comedy duo will be along soon to gloat, cry foul and verbally abuse people, with no restriction whatsoever. 🙄

A very sad day for Eyespying ... or is this another April fool?

Yeah... Funny that eh cubic, its only on this thread that public figure doesnt actually 'mean' public figure apparently.

You see Melaw21 - you bring me back always - why?
I have not got involved or said anything and yet you continually implicate me in your ramblings ... you must be missing me horribly hun!

Oh... Well... What was I saying???? So fecking predictable... 🙄🙄🙄
