Still going strong here at bot watch HQ on MN!

Previous thread here

Botwatch on Wordpress and on Facebook

Timeless Vie on Wordpress and on Facebook

Eyespeying's Blog aka #manhun, even if he's been banned by MNHQ

Hommetepreneur on Facebook

We have our own regularly returning bots.

Glossary:

Bots: our affectionate name for victims of the MLM racket

MLM: Multi-level Marketing schemes - essentially pyramid schemes that are just legal because you sell a product. Reliant upon constant recruitment despite there not being enough people in the world to go beyond about 12 levels if everyone recruited 6.

Downline/Upline: the people you recruited and those who recruited you (going up and down the pyramid inverted funnel)

Timeless Vie: Parody of MLM schemes (though you might spot one in particular) that also carries out fearless investigative work

Hommetrepreneur: also excellent parody site focussing on the menz

BotWatch: Rather more serious, keeps an eye on what the Bots are claiming next, particularly in reference to health and income claims. Also fearless.

Inverted Funnel: Timeless Vie is NOT a pyramid - it's an inverted Funnel, OK?

Eyes: Our former member Eyespying who knows LOTS about MLM schemes. He's still our very own #manhun.

Thanks for the Yazoo, I've still got mine in the fridge....

LeafTreeRaker · 12/05/2016 21:35

I also baked a semolina cake, if there are any takers...?

Evening all, marking my place!

cozietoesie · 12/05/2016 21:36

It's not going to drink itself, Twunk.

Courage, mon brave. Grin

bumpingalong9386 · 12/05/2016 21:37

Shameless placemarking

Cracks open a Yazoo to settle in

LeafTreeRaker · 12/05/2016 21:37

Yazoo could become the next for throwingpebbles whenever the word tragicomic is mentioned...

Thanks for new thread Leaf Smile. Reclines with a chilled Yahoo, large slice of semolina cake and some sort of thingy with chickpeas Wink. Twunk, get that bottle opened before it runs away on its own Grin.

Twunk · 12/05/2016 22:05

I'm scared of the milky banana drink

stopfaffing · 12/05/2016 22:09
Grin
cozietoesie · 12/05/2016 22:11

That's a fair point, stopfaffing. Who knows what might happen if Twunk doesn't drink it and it goes past its 'date'? Grin

cozietoesie · 12/05/2016 22:12

Twunk

Have you no sort of 'fall guy' that you could use as a taster on this one?

Twunk · 12/05/2016 22:23

Yeah. DH. He's game for anything, including Yazoo poisoning

TwatbadgingCuntfuckery · 12/05/2016 22:40

Yazoo is too sweet. Icky fake nana taste. Urlgh

DoTheMLMHustle · 12/05/2016 22:53

Thank for the new Fred Grin

It's been exciting over on Botwatch tonight!

Twunk · 12/05/2016 23:11

Proper brainwashed bot-tastic!

DoTheMLMHustle · 12/05/2016 23:16

I love this video

She looks no different

I've just found this on a microfinance site I use. It's just wrong on so many levels.

penguins33 · 12/05/2016 23:19

Doesn't look like the photo worked.

What penguins?

penguins33 · 12/05/2016 23:24

Sorry, the photo should be there now hustle.

It's bad enough the poor guy is involved in MLM but to then be asking for a loan to invest in it even more.
