Accused of collusion
I was just playing in a £1.15 DYM and I had the table in mini view as I was playing in a tournament on another site as well.
When my other tournament finished I went back to standard view and noticed some chat as it scrolled past.I scrolled back through the chat and 1 player had accused me of colluding with another player.
I asked the player for an explanation and he just told me to f off.
I have just spoke to live chat support and asked them to review the DYM as I don’t like being accused of cheating.
I asked support what would be done about it, they tell me if it is proven to be unfounded then no action will be taken and that’s it.
So it would seem it is ok to make unfounded accusations against players and the only prove you have of it being untrue is the fact you are still here.

My Golden rule is dont put anything on the chat that you would not say to their face.
Strange post? Not really, I just want my name cleared and i dont see anywhere that I have complained about that.
My advice is to take everything you see in the chatbox with a pinch of salt, if stuff like this winds you up then simply leave it switched off. Personally I can laugh off anything I see in the chatbox, my location gives away that I'm in a forum team, so I've been accused of colluding several times. It doesn't worry me in the slightest because I know all my hand histories would stand up to any scrutiny.
I'll only consider reporting chatbox filth that crosses the line and might be offensive to others, a fairly rare occurance in my experience. My pet hate is those awful standard avatars, they are severely tilting. There's a simple solution; I've left them permanently switched off for 3 years.
I think I'll just give the DYM's a miss from now on and stick to the mtt's which I find much more enjoyable.
As I dont play live (except with mates), do you get abuse at these tables ?
you are right.
Like cushions on beds, pointless.......................
Could be wrong??
If I am going to be accused in public then I would appreciate being cleared in public.
A public apology from the accuser wouldn't go amiss either.
This is quite a small pool of players on here and we have the forum as well.
So rather than hide from the accusation I wanted to answer it in public.
Read into that what you will about abuse & rudeness Online.
I could name any number of poker players who are almost always abusive Online, but wholly respectful & deferential in real life.
The World of Online seems to have developed a different set of rules than those we all use in real-life.
A wind up abuser who knows hes making false allegations is not going to report any suspicions if he knows it is going to get investigated. Theres a correct way to do everything and accusing someone on chat box is basically abuse and needs dealing with if the abused reports them as did the OP.
