Message: [QUOTE="Fuffufnick, post: 2196867, member: 89593"] I agree with those who say you should report it, if nothing else but for the principle of the thing. It may only be a freeroll but who's to say these players don't already have real money accounts and might see their success in this adventure as the first stepping stone to higher cheats. Furthermore, I know for a fact that Carbon will investigate it, or at least claim the have, and take action as I will relate the following experience. When I first opened my account with Carbon I was living and working in Spain thus had that listed as my location. This is when they still had their "Fun Steps" SnG freerolls happening. I made it to the final three of a Step 3 (for those who don't know: the final 3 in a Step 1 advance to Step 2, the final 2 in a Step 2 advance to Step 3 and the player who wins the Step 3 wins $1). My opponents, I'm embarrassed to say, were two fellow Americans. It soon became evident that these two ignorant pusses assumed I did not understand English, referring to me as "The Beaner" or "Wet Back", and openly agreed to not dispute any pots between themselves and only attack me. Indeed, they even went as far as to tell each other their hole cards using very thinly veiled codes they must have thought were quite clever and that only an English speaker would understand, Ladies, Cowboys, Kilos, Jerks... etc. in hands that I had folded. Needless to say I was bounced, though it was with a legit hand (AQ>AK or something like that) nonetheless 2 against 1, though not impossible, is very difficult. I reported them. To me it wasn't the $1 in question as much as their ignorant, blatant attitudes along with the racist comments and outright cheating, all over the line, embarrassing and disgraceful. Carbon asked for the date, time and game numbers along with any other info I could provide. I complied. Not long after I received an email stating that they had investigated and confirmed my report of collusion. Furthermore, they went on to state that it mattered not that it was only freeroll money, collusion was cheating... period and that it would not be tolerated at any level. I was "told" that the players' accounts had been suspended. (Whether that's true or not is anyone's guess) [/QUOTE]
