    At the final table of the Tier tournaments on Full Tilt? There is no tourney in real life with a mute button, why can I not talk at these??????

    Because the site decided it was to be so. They have a switch that can be selected to curtail chat at any table they like. In real life it is much harder to silence a disruptive player.

    It is so people in sattys won't be tempted to collude/cheat. It is waaaaaaaay better they disable chat than to have to deal with a collusion email every other satty they run. I approve of the disabled chat.

    I hate colluders too, don't get me wrong, just didn't know it was a big issue before they made the change.

    I am more scared of people colluding over AIM then in a chat box, I can police myself in the chat box and report colluding at least
