Cozie, yes the PM will certainly break MN rules. And probably MHRA rules on medical claims and also FL's own rules of course. Not to mention the person downright lying and trying to take advantage of someone.

I'll have a look at the partnership thing. I've got a lot of Bot Watch work backing up at the moment. Mostly due to me discovering an amazing trilogy of books that I just can't put down. The Miss Peregrine's peculiar children trilogy are really good.

There might be some interesting issues for e.g. Facebook (one of the partners) to consider with regard to e.g. the use of algorithms in marketing. Wink

BSintolerant · 12/11/2016 09:16

A little algorithm tweak would put a spoke in the wheels of MLM.

".....will provide consumer and industrial users of cognitive systems a vital voice in the advancement of the defining technology of this century – one that will foster collaboration between people and machines to solve some of the world’s most enduring problems – in a way that is both trustworthy and beneficial.”

All sorts of things up for consideration, I'd say. Smile

I can't make any sense of this

In what way, Sponge? Grin

I guess one can only look for 'divine' intervention? Wink

Spongebobette · 12/11/2016 12:21

I really want to make thousands of pounds selling tea bags but I am such a cynical neg head that I just won't suspend my disbelief

cozietoesie · 12/11/2016 12:38

Shame on you for wondering what you have to do to get any money and whose pockets any money might come out of!

You're so negative. Grin

Spongebobette · 12/11/2016 12:40

I totes need to work on my mindset

cozietoesie · 12/11/2016 12:41

PS - I assume it would be being presented as 'not so ordinary' tea? Grin

Spongebobette · 12/11/2016 12:42

Ah I know, I could 'invest' in my future by attending a Millionaire Mindset event. I'm sure that would do the trick, as long as I also bought some books by those wonderful people like Worre.

Spongebobette · 12/11/2016 12:48

Because you know what I really really need to learn?
If I don't make serious money by taking this opportunity to sell magic tea IT WILL BE ALL MY FAULT for not having the right attitude and not working hard enough and giving up just when I am on the threshold of massive success

MyCatsHateMLMtoo · 12/11/2016 13:12

It's a scam, for sure, sponge. Sad

My niece recently sent me one of those fb private message joining me to a private group on behalf of her 'friend'. The group was for promoting a certain 'long standing alive' MLM Wink.

I posted a reply and was deleted forthwith.

It is another example of MLM bots befriending people in order to exploit them by asking them for access to all their fb friends for the purpose of exploiting them too Angry.

Twunk · 12/11/2016 13:12

Did someone say tea? Mine's milk, no sugar. And a chocolate digestive

MyCatsHateMLMtoo · 12/11/2016 13:13

Sorry, here's my fb reply.

You were deleted forthwith? Well done. Smile

lol Holland and Barrett
Grin

BSintolerant · 12/11/2016 18:06

Yeah, but you're forgetting something. Holland & Barrett's lotions, potions and pills aren't as good as Forever Fibbing, Jizz Plus and their ilk because they're not harvested on the moon (from mines 300 feet beneath the Sea of Tranquility) by 98 year-old virgins who, due to being born blind, have never seen the light of day and were taught the ancient art of lunar mining with their bare hands by pixies, unicorns, and the late Princess Margaret.

It's all about quality, you see! Grin

Good point. My vitamin D tablets are hand-crafted by real fairies on the surface of Jupiter. It means they work better than ordinary vitamin D tablets through the mechanism of something something something

Spongebobette · 12/11/2016 18:18

Are you trying to ruin someone's dream by making fun? Why are you so full of hate, you keyboard warriors, you.
These women are just trying to build a business to provide a better life for their families.
And you won't even buy a pot of lip balm?? Or host a party to support them? Or listen to a business presentation about an amaaaaazing opportunity when ALL THEY ARE TRYING TO DO is empower you and help you live the life you deserve?

BSintolerant · 12/11/2016 18:27

My bot's only doing it for an all expenses paid (by himself - he's his own best customer) brainwashing session holiday on Mars next year.

BSintolerant · 12/11/2016 18:31

Knock it off Sponge! We're just bullies because we're all pointing out the bleedin' orbvious.

P.S. You forgot the 'middle-aged' bit. Wink

cozietoesie · 12/11/2016 18:34

Just to point out that the John Oliver link up thread is no longer operable due to the fact that 'this account has been closed'. Versions of it are up again on that site, though, so view it fast if you want to see it.

Spongebobette · 12/11/2016 18:59

Why's that, do you think Cozie?

Spongebobette · 12/11/2016 18:59

Lol BSIntolerant.

We haven't had a bot invasion for a while so I thought I'd be a surrogate
