@9dartfinish2nd - It has definitely been an interesting couple of days.
The thing about the rule change regarding how the CB cheques are calculated to favour those at the very top at the expense of lower level qualifiers is that I honestly don't believe the majority of those affected are even aware of it.
The new rules were brought in in June last year, buried in a 47 page Policies & procédures document. The actual change to the wording is the addition of ",2 and 3" on one line, and "and 3" on another. (I only realised this when @Bovneydazzlers Posted an older document with the previous rules).
The likes of Yawn, Castle, Lanza & Co do not strike me as the kind of people to forensically read a document (if they were actually even made aware of it).
As members of the Global Leadership Team, Bloodsucker & Uber would have been well aware of it. I have heard rumours that Uber worked hard at the last minute to 'buy' the CCs to get her over the level 3 line. The fact that she just scraped it would tend to confirm this.
The claws you mention would only come out if the 'cheated' bots were made aware of this.
It still astounds me that people on this thread know infinitely more about FLP than bots who are prepared to throw their whole lives into the scam, despite most of the information being publicly available, often from FLP itself!
