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.

Actually... Its running...

MrshumbleSnide · 25/05/2016 22:02

Oh.... Never mind. It's gone.

ForeverYazoonique · 25/05/2016 22:08

Shame that Herbalife seem to be holding on. A fairly top bot is an acquaintance of mine - still she doesn't seem terribly active in recruiting.

MrsHumble - the fuck I gave, you've already cashed in so... keep the change, no need for applause (mic already dropped) and walks off - exit stage left..

Kanga59 · 25/05/2016 22:29

Ok, and after that weird interlude. Whats next?

ForeverYazoonique · 25/05/2016 22:32

Do you think we keep meeting surrealbot?

Cos bot invasions are getting fucking weird.

ForeverYazoonique · 25/05/2016 22:37

They should be working hard clearing their cupboards, sheds and garages for all the extra C9s and gloop they're going to have to buy. Can't spend too much time goading us.

OP posts:
MrshumbleSnide · 25/05/2016 22:38

Fuck knows, but if they think they know who I am, I wish they would just crack on and out me... The suspenz is killing me!

MrshumbleSnide · 25/05/2016 22:38

Sorry... Typo there... Oopsie.

hustlerhun · 25/05/2016 22:41

It's funnier that Chacha even thinks she was on the stage...NO ONE CARES

Until next time Hun!!GrinWine

MrshumbleSnide · 25/05/2016 23:01

I know right hustle what the hell does the STAGE have to do with anything? 🙄

ForeverYazoonique · 25/05/2016 23:05

I know a bloke who jumped over a mic stand once but didn't quite make it. The thing ended up injuring him in a very difficult place. Poor bloke.

Sorry just continuing with the surreal theme.

Night all

Morning stupid ugly keyboard warriors! Hope you're gurning at your keyboards.

We've just had a round of redundancies at work. One of my junior colleagues has taken voluntary so she can throw herself into the business she began for a few extra pennies.... hope she doesn't regret this decision.

MrshumbleSnide · 26/05/2016 08:05

Morning forever!!! Welcome sassy, Sadly, the figures of 99% long term failure rate in mlms would suggest she will... 😞

MrshumbleSnide · 26/05/2016 08:08

sassy I dont know if you have visited the timeless Vie page yet (links on page 1 of thread) but there are some sobering statistics there about the failure rates and further links explaining it.

NorbertDentressangle · 26/05/2016 08:12

Hi sassy fancy seeing you here!

I'm surprised you haven't been surrounded by MLM "business owners" as our county is rife with them!

sassytheFIRST · 26/05/2016 09:22

Oh believe me, I know a few, Norbert! This is the first time I've seen somebody take a real risk though. Pretty sure it won't work out for her too Confused

orangefizzypop75 · 26/05/2016 09:28

My bot (number 11) is pushing the FL shake shite this morning. She only needs 7 people to sign up to make an ammaaaaaaazzzing change to their health. My money's on the same poor old saps that bought it off her last time with zero effect. "But this time I just KNOW it will help me". Why can't these people see that IT WON'T BLOODY WORK!!!

LMGTFY · 26/05/2016 09:41

orange same happens here, I've one friend who must buy every single scammy mlm 'diet' going. You'd think she would know by now! She's another nurse, as are uber bot, old bot and new bot. Honestly these are people I thought were intelligent!

ForeverYazoonique · 26/05/2016 09:45

Well they do work in the sense that the cabbage soup diet works - if you don't eat much then chances are you lose weight....

orangefizzypop75 · 26/05/2016 09:55

It really irks me though that they get away with such blatant falseness purely for the sake of money - it's NOT because they "want to help" - they simply see the £££ signs! There's no morality involved whatsoever! Really does make me so cross!
