Same here. I've never seen any kind of collusion in the middle of a hand, and I've been playing online for about 5 years. Plus, I play a lot of private tourneys on FTP that don't disable chat during all-ins. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it doesn't happen. As big of idiots as some of the ppl are online, it would not surprise me. And like Assistanc3 said, there are lots of really big bets that aren't even all-in bets. Still, I've never seen anyone trying to influence someone's decision, even tho they could since chat isn't disabled for really big bets, just all-ins. I think it should be a rule that if someone does that, then the site should refund the money lost by the losing player, then deduct that money from the player's account that said it. If that player doesn't have money in his account, then his account should be suspended until he pays. After word got out about that happening a few times, I'm sure nobody would ever do that again.
