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

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.

I am not implying I'm here because of MLM. I don't believe I have stated that, I'm spending time with my family and it is my parents place, which I get to stay in, it's lovely out here.
Blimey you must be following what I'm doing closely. It's not really your concern what I do or don't do.
I find it weird you know so much about me, your comment is laughable, maybe your jealousy would explain the tone.
Anyway, birthday today so not really worried about what your thoughts of me are, whoever you may be.

Fullmetalbot · 15/06/2016 23:54

Oh but you have "Roxanne" "I'm so lucky my job lets me spend the summer in France " blah blah lying blah.

I've glanced at your profile fleetingly since your triumphant £70 cheque 😂 and this implication is there always.

Anyway cease fire -happy birthday.

RoxanaGlitterson · 16/06/2016 00:04

My profile has been private for 4 months so confused as to how you would fleetingly glance and see this. This seems like a rather personal attack at me to be honest and I'm not sure of the reason behind it, possibly jealousy by your own admission.
It's sad that you would laugh at other people's lives and think it clever. If you genuinely were sorry for what happened to me, would you then continue to mock me? I truly hope you never experience what myself and others have, you definitely wouldn't be laughing.

By the way.......it's Roxana.

noyouarenotalifestylecoach · 16/06/2016 00:18

Can I just throw out there that 'you must be jealous' is an childish attitude to have simply because someone can see a lie for a lie.

I'm not saying this just to you Roxanna, please don't see it as a personal attack, just it seems that 'they're just jealous' is the automatic response made to anyone who doesn't disillusion themselves with MLM. MLM bingo material to fire at back at any critical thinking. People who can see through the deception are not jealous, they're merely stating facts.

RoxanaGlitterson · 16/06/2016 00:27

Isn't fullmetalbot in MLM? That's my point, why attack someone for doing what you yourself do, and I used their own admission of the reason, not an automatic response.

noyouarenotalifestylecoach · 16/06/2016 00:32

No fullmetalbot isn't in MLM and I think that it was less of an admission and more of a jokey remark.

RoxanaGlitterson · 16/06/2016 00:38

Apologies it's very confusing trying to keep up with who is or isn't.
Well my tone about the brolly was misunderstood, such is the way with text.
I shall wave goodbye and bugger off to enjoy my birthday!

noyouarenotalifestylecoach · 16/06/2016 00:42

Happy birthday Wine do have a wonderful time and enjoy your day. I am deeply sorry for all that has happened to you, disgusting bully tactics should never be tolerated and I'm glad you made s stand.

Purplelilly · 16/06/2016 01:11

I have 3 FL bots on my FB list and today all 3 made a post with the exact same wording. The post asked if anyone worked 2 or more jobs and said they had some questions for them.

I've always wondered why their posts are so transparent and obviously following a formula. Surely this makes people far less likely to believe the shit they say and the lifestyle they pretend to have rather than likely to buy into it.

I've not put anything up about being pregnant on my FB. I wonder how long it will be after I make reference to having a baby before one of them decides to try and help be earn some extra money :)

darceybussell · 16/06/2016 07:15

Erm, I'm confused now. I think I know who Roxana is but I have no idea which photo or brolly she is talking about

Spongebobette · 16/06/2016 07:37

me neither . Am lost.

rayofhope · 16/06/2016 07:40

joining the lost club too, can't remember the st tropez photo being posted

cozietoesie · 16/06/2016 07:47

I see that Timeless Vie is carrying the full details of an upheld complaint to the ASA on health claims for wampum by one MLM adherent.

Well done that complainant. Smile

ForeverYazoonique · 16/06/2016 07:49

Am joining the "totally lost" club but do crack on. Nice to know we're still being monitored though

Nearly time for a new thread folks.

cozietoesie · 16/06/2016 07:52

Yes. It's that time again. I hope that someone is limbering up their keyboard. Smile

MrshumbleBrows · 16/06/2016 08:29

Lost here too Roxana, Sorry... I dont recall a pool picture being posted by Acat, although I stand to be corrected.

MrshumbleBrows · 16/06/2016 09:18

Quelle surprise Cozie Forever living threw her under the bus....

prettyusefulsometimes · 16/06/2016 09:34

Fantastic news about the ASA ruling on an horrific advert that was preying on an incredibly emotive issue for millions of people.

How utterly disgusting that Forever Living denied all knowledge.

I really hope this gets a wide audience. This scam is not all #bossbabe and wipeable cheques is it? This company is sinister as f**k.

cozietoesie · 16/06/2016 10:08

MLM activity affects real,people in real lives, Yes.

Foreverfibbing · 16/06/2016 10:10

I too am utterly lost. What have I missed? What's happened to the Steam of Eagles? And happy birthday to Roxanna, whoever you are. I have no idea! (no change there, then).

Can anyone fill me in?

cozietoesie · 16/06/2016 10:24

Just go with the flow, fibbing. Smile

cozietoesie · 16/06/2016 11:09

I'm wondering, after viewing some recent MLM videos, whether there's some sort of 'disconnect' with money going on for many adherents? It's almost as if - watching the videos - there's some sort of feeling that the wampum is actually almost a present to them. (It comes in boxes, the CC is a different country, and it 'feels tangible' etc etc.) There just doesn't seem to be real appreciation of the money flows in the system - or personally. Sad

Annie65 · 16/06/2016 12:19

Im in the "lost club" too, didn't see any photos or comments but I think I get the jest. Anyway all my bots are feeling the "love" today, dont Know who they are trying to convince. Purplelily, I know what you mean about bots duplicating posts. Two of mine do it all the time, and they have the nerve to call us lemmings.Hmm

cozietoesie · 16/06/2016 12:35

When would they ever get time to craft their own? That's partly why they seize (and then promulgate) the scripts and the suggested pictures with such relief - it all fits into one system, I'm afraid.

DollyTwat · 16/06/2016 12:52

One of my bots is refusing to read any articles about FL as she only wants sunshine and rainbows.

Let's hope she doesn't miss anything IMPORTANT using this method of reading the news Grin

Happy Birthday Roxana
If you're reading the threads from the start then yes there are some posts that were a bit personal back then about bot's, but we are much more careful now. You have suffered at the hands of the top bots in FL in an awful way and I'm shocked at what has happened
