Actually Neville - if someone posts on here about a concern they have then they get good advice from the posters here. Maybe you just need to drink some more of that lovely coffee....

TrippleFlappyDiamondSparrow · 12/08/2017 23:07

100% its a valentus rep!

GavinFromTradingStandards · 12/08/2017 23:08

Can't rep when there's nothing to sell though can they? What are they representing?

No, @tripleflappydiamondsparrow that's not true. But your hostility is just further proof of your clique. I'm not in the clique so you don't want to know. You'd rather post about how ridiculous sparklebot is. That's fine, but don't advertise yourself as helpful - you're not.

cozietoesie · 12/08/2017 23:11

Good evening everyone. Smile

GavinFromTradingStandards · 12/08/2017 23:11

Who is sparklebot?! PM me Hun!! Grin

We don't want to know what?!? That you think we're a clique. You read those 1200 posts yet? Because if you haven't then you clearly "don't want to know", do you?

Hiya cozie

Exactly. You're not a thread for people concerned that a friend or family member has disappeared into the world of MLM. Thank you for proving my point so well.

fitgirl26 · 12/08/2017 23:14

Sparklebot? No idea...

TrippleFlappyDiamondSparrow · 12/08/2017 23:15

Hostility from where? You've come on this thread kicking off because we have a laugh about the stupid things bots say and do? Don't put your whole life on show, that way nobody could comment.

Since this particular thread started (last night) nobody has been on and asked for advice? So how would you know if it was offered or not. Most people on here could direct them to correct place if it was needed?

cozietoesie · 12/08/2017 23:15

Good evening, Gavin. Smile

TrippleFlappyDiamondSparrow · 12/08/2017 23:18

Sparkle bot sounds like you may mean Salon bot. What with her glittery wallpaper drop. Hi friend of Salons Wink

GavinFromTradingStandards · 12/08/2017 23:18

Neville-if you're stuck in an MLM and you need help we can point you in the right direction and/or give you advice.

If not then we can argue all night but you'll never make any of us think MLM is a legitimate business. Sorry about that.

OP posts:
NevilleBennett · 12/08/2017 23:28

Gavin, I'm clearly not in an MLM. I clearly don't think they're a legitimate business. It's just obvious your thread doesn't care about new posters (who don't approve of MLMs). I don't appreciate your many accusations.

The truth is that your thread title is inaccurate. If you go through my previous posts you will realise you are wrong. But you won't, because your thread isn't what you want to think it is. You want to think you're welcoming, but you don't want to be welcoming. Your only interest is what is sparklebot doing now.

Think about your tag line, and think about how you can embody that. If you can't then ask for it to be changed.

BSintolerant · 12/08/2017 23:29

Neville how can we help you?

fitgirl26 · 12/08/2017 23:33

You're clearly not in an MLM? Then what brought you to this thread? And if you had posted as a newbie asking for advice you would have been given advice. As you've decided to go on the attack from the get-go then that hasn't happened. Your problem is?

TrippleFlappyDiamondSparrow · 12/08/2017 23:34

Well Neville.. if that was the case then why are there many examples of people coming forward on previous threads (the last one included) asking for advice on e.g family members brainwashed into MLM and how to help them?

Ya fucking plum!

^that one is for you gavin

GavinFromTradingStandards · 12/08/2017 23:34

You are not "clearly not in an MLM".

Why does our thread not care about new posters? Because your first post called us a "clique"? I doubt many threads would welcome you if your first post is an attempt to insult the people posting on it.

As for the "tag line"-I'll leave it as it is thanks. As I suggested, read the 30 previous threads from start to finish then pop back on and tell us we don't care about the damage MLM does.

Gavin first post? No, try fourth. Been ignored up till now on your supposedly supportive thread

cozietoesie · 12/08/2017 23:37

Some of you may want to see this again.

CockoQueen · 12/08/2017 23:38

BREAKING NEWS Cockobot has left the V building. Announced on her team page she is ALLOUT! Keeping her page open though so people can contact her. More likely so she can take her minions to her next venture.

NevilleBennett · 12/08/2017 23:38

@fitgirl26 and how much advice have I been given? None. Unis you count the poster that advised v9 was forever aloe, I suppose.

TrippleFlappyDiamondSparrow · 12/08/2017 23:43

What advice do you need our nev

HopefulHamster · 12/08/2017 23:43

I kind of know what Neville means. I've posted before about trickiness of being friends with someone in the business and I've had (under possibly a couple of names as I name change occasionally) some posts ignored, some short replies, then it's right back to what the big name bots are doing, kind of glossing over posts from people dealing with real friend bots.

Big bots are more interesting. But it can make these threads quite inpenetrable. So I occasionally pop in rather than participate these days, even tho I am quite concerned about my suddenly turned pushy Aloe friend!

Just some thoughts not an attack!
