Besides forbidding "hoarding" and "spreading negativity," most companies have other strict regulations, which they ceaselessly reiterate through instruction and training. Items on the forbidden list include: stealing downliners from others, crossing over networks (handling other distributors 'downliners for them), harassment, or instigating disputes over money. To be honest, there are many pitfalls to direct sales.
除了「不准囤貨」、「不傳消極」，傳銷公司還有許多嚴格的規定，藉著各項教育訓練不斷重複，像是搶線（鼓動別人背叛上線，加入自己的組織），踩線（替別人帶下線），或是藉機進行感情騷擾，或是惹出金錢糾紛等，都在明令禁止之列。
