NEW Link to the Daily Mail article of 20 May 2016 regarding an ex-bot's treatment at the hands of her 'spline' at Forever Living UK

NEW Link to NastashaBarnbotShingles' refutation of the above.

We have our own regularly returning bots to tell us how bullying and hateful we are.

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.

Twunk (AKA ForeverYazoonique) has a bottle of Banana Yazoo in her fridge. She's still too afraid to drink it. Yahoo is important as seems to be the primary retail product for Life Tree World.

Oh, and that article was Great, very happy to see the viestars and Mumsnet mentioned finally. Lets keep up the good work all! (Waves to Eyes who deserves a special mention for all his efforts too!)

I suspect that at least some of the MLM approaches are borrowed quickly straight from activities in the US. They're not realising, deep down, that you have two different societies. What may appeal or work in one may not be as effective in the other.

Someone posted this poll on a local group!

Gosh.

I wanna vote! 👋👋👋

I think it's been deleted now. Admin has not banned MLM. Shame. Still probably not the most subtle attempt to point out how crap they are...

I guess that people are entitled to use local social media - within its rules of course - to give themselves and other users a better experience.

Fantastic articles! Vive la resistance.

Waves to Eyes. 👋

🖕to Forever Living!

Well it's all kicking off on a post that I've seen about it. Lots of truths coming out now what intrigues me is why most of these types of posts are set as public for all to see - it goes against the bot nature of hush hush-ing the negatives x

Is it just 'forgetfulness' though? After all, if you're not used to anything but 'glowing tributes', you might just neglect your privacy settings.

It's still interesting of course that there should be any vitriol at all. I rather thought that that was against the 'rules'.

I see that likes for BotWatch and Timeless Vie continue to rise.

Awwww.... Bless... Bye bye fairytale castle!

Brilliant! The Eagles have fallen from their best! #eaglesteam #steamofeagles #falleneagles

Fallen from their NEST

cozie definitely - it seems to have all been bubbling under the surface for quite some time and it's now all coming out

Barclays article popped up on my fb fees. Excited to see our all-seeing friend doing good work #teameyes and a TV reference too. Go team!

FEED (goes off to throw phone out of window).
Where will Rapunzel move to I wonder??

This annoys me. I don't want my children being taught by incompetent teachers whose minds are full of spidery mascara and can see nothing wrong with slagging off their profession publicly on the Internet.
Also, if her business is so amazing why the second job? because she's making no money

Which TV star has bought the formerly rented castle? Whoever it is must have flogged a load of parslaii! 😂😂

Run the thought of certain Eagles 'on the nest' isn't an image I want to entertain.

According to FB an escape has been made tonight, somewhere with limited internet conveniently

Hello everyone I'm hoping by my nickname you can guess who I am.
I wanted to clear a couple of things up.

The picture of mine that was shared by acatcalledjohn wasn't a lie, it's a picture I took of the pool where I stay just outside St Tropez, I'm here at the moment, if you check my facebook you'll see said pool in a few pictures. I had planned to bring my Team out here but then well, we all know what happened there ;)

I was proud of my brolly, it's a running joke about brollies in my family you see so it was tongue in cheek, I also have an FT one (from when I worked for them) which is another of our favourites.

I commend you all for the support you have shown ex FLPers, myself included.
