So basically u have a rule which isn"t policed so we can collide/soft play and if we don"t like that we don"t participate?

Collusion and soft play are two different things, although both are difficult to prove.
If two players were on MSN, telling each other what cards they had, and playing the rest of the table accordingly, that is likely to show similar betting patterns as if they soft played, and didn"t get involved in hands with each other.
In the rules for the league, we are making players aware, that these things are against the terms and conditions of the software provider.
Unless specific situations with evidence is brought to our attention, I"m not sure how anyone can expect us to "police" the situation. Open to suggestions ?
The reality of it is that we want a league where there is no collusion, chipdumping or soft play, but that all comes down to the players, who are ultimately responsibly for this. And that"s where it is the individual players choice.

At the end of the day, this is a fun league and should be treated that way. If people want to cheat how can you police them? Do APAT need to issue locked down standard laptops with only 888 installed to everyone pre season? its impossible to stop people colluding / chatting on facebook / MSN / Skype if thats what they want to do. However if they have to cheat to do well then in my humble opinion they"re a sad sad bunch, and instead of looking back at victories with pride they"ll be looking back at somethinng very shallow and meaningless x

There seems to be a lot of fuss over this, in the original post, all Brian was saying was don"t take on team mates unnescersarily. If you have AA in the big blind and anyone shoves into you, you will call, if you have a drawing hand, and it"s a teammate, then you probably wouldn"t, regardless of the pot size. If you have a team game format, then surely you can"t then complain if players play for the team, chipdumping aside of course.

It"s the reason I don"t play it. I got chastised by my captain for 3-betting a team mate... left me scarred for life, I"ve been the same player since. Only last night I had a dream nightmare where I was being disciplined by said captain.
Nurse, NURSE... is it time for my medication?
