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.

Yep... God forbid they should name it and someone should find their way here first!

MrshumbleSnide · 25/05/2016 12:39

Time for a name change...

I am so sick of seeing coffee and cake/ afternoon tea/ prosecco 'business meetings' that I am sorely tempted to start posting photos of my cheese sandwich and crisps at my desk at work with the caption 'can't believe how blessed I am to be working alongside this company, you can hardly call it work!'

cozietoesie · 25/05/2016 12:51

Your post made me think of crisp sandwiches! Grin I haven't any crisps around the house, sadly, but I have some great soft rolls in the freezer and plenty of butter. Hmmm........

Spongebobette · 25/05/2016 12:51

'Blessed'
'Alongside'

Words they use that give me the rage.

Spongebobette · 25/05/2016 12:52

Cozie i have inserted the crisps into the cheese sarnie.
I know how to live

Spongebobette · 25/05/2016 12:53

It's part of my 'amazing lifestyle'

Spongebobette · 25/05/2016 12:55

ENVY ME

MrshumbleSnide · 25/05/2016 12:55

Crisp sandwiches? You really are sooo #blessed. 😂😂

Spongebobette · 25/05/2016 12:56

Thanks Hun

MrshumbleSnide · 25/05/2016 12:56

MrshumbleSnide · 25/05/2016 12:57

Ouch... It hurt to post that! ^^ 😂

cozietoesie · 25/05/2016 12:57
Envy
Spongebobette · 25/05/2016 13:01

Do you want to find out 'what it is that I do'?

(Another phrase that boils my piss)

Let me come over to your house and make you listen to a load of twaddle about empowering women. The opportunity may not be right for you at the moment but perhaps you know someone who'd like to earn a full time wage for part time hours, working the business around their current commitments?

Spongebobette · 25/05/2016 13:04

I'll be bringing my 3 week old baby and my twin toddlers along because this business is so flexible

orangefizzypop75 · 25/05/2016 13:22

Apparently in Ireland it's Senior Health and Fitness Day so this is doing the rounds...... brill, kill your gran/grandad off with a severe case of the shits :(

Also, this popped up - wonder if it's true?

There was a dad at out school summer fair recently with a FL stall, why? why is he doing it and why did the PTA woman let him in? apparently hes been doing it a few months. i think its totally inappropriate for them to be there, really annoys me, esp as he was trying to recruit my friend who was running a legitimate stall selling an actual product. I didnt see him sell anything, just try and recruit people. pta lady is clueless.

Delurker2016 · 25/05/2016 13:52

Tablecloth is £20.
Yes policy has been changed after FLP were outed the other weekend.
It's literally like watching a car crash.

I saw the 'cowardly and snidey' comment and was a little peeved by it, maybe if they weren't such utter arseholes when someone spoke out more would do it public.

cozietoesie · 25/05/2016 14:14

Might be an idea to contact BotWatchBlog if you have anything official relating to policy changes?

cozietoesie · 25/05/2016 14:14

Or Timeless Vie. I'm sure they share.

n0taBotfan · 25/05/2016 16:18

Reading between the crap lines there seems to be a lot of infighting going on at one certain MLM co at the moment. Bitchy memes and passive aggressive comments about people. Here's an example from a bot we all know and love

PS - sorry about the crap anonomising skills...

n0taBotfan · 25/05/2016 16:27

Ooh, I've had a nibble ;)

So, so transparent.

I do hope they realize that we're not seeing what they're up to out of envy, but the joy tinged with sadness at the tragicomic nature of it all.

Would never want to see anyone fall on hard times, but the anticipation that this house of cards is about to come gradually fluttering down, is fascinating. #teameyes

n0taBotfan · 25/05/2016 16:31

Oh and two glaringly obvious things:

  1. It is clear that this bot is watching this thread in relatively real time
  2. The fact that most of the fellow aggressive commenters on the aforementioned meme work for the same MLM.

Odd that, eh?

Anyway, I'll get back to my J. O. B. :)
