Here are the rules given by PS,
http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/tournaments/rules/ which has rule 9 and 16.
16 then references the following web page:
http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/tournaments/rules/prohibited-tournament-chat/
"
Example 3
Poker is an individual game, not a team sport. Players may not act as a group in any way, nor may a player even suggest or mention
such an idea. For instance, in the closing rounds of a multi-table satellite, a player may not say, "Hey - let's all just
continuously fold to the blinds. Then people at the other table will bust out and we'll all get seats." In severe cases, such chat
may subject the player to penalties, up to and including disqualification from the event.
Example 4
Suppose there are three players left in a tournament: Roberta, Sam, and Thomas. Now Roberta gets disconnected and can not play. Sam
and Thomas may not discuss the possibility of simply exchanging blinds, thus blinding Roberta off while she is unable to defend her
blinds.
We understand that this is a fine line, since it is perfectly appropriate for Sam, on the button, to raise more frequently,
attacking the blinds; he knows that only one of those blinds is truly being defended. And if Sam folds, it's fine for Thomas, in the
small blind, to raise, knowing that Roberta's big blind is undefended. But Sam and Thomas may not implicitly or explicitly agree to
simply trade blinds back and forth, blinding Roberta out. Note that any discussion of this may subject Sam and/or Thomas to being
disqualified from the event and forfeiting some of their winnings."
that PS support didn't read through your entire tournament hand history and say anything
about the comment i quoted doesn't surprise me.

Here's the thing, and I certainly don't mean any offense by this. But.
Only an idiot would think that my comment had anything to do with
collusion. It was so obviously a goading comment into getting one of them
to make a stand, that there's no reason anyone who can think rationally
would think otherwise.
If you want, I'll send a brief description of the action, and the exact
quote to Stars, and let them decide. Let me know if that's what you need
to not be offended at me calling you an idiot.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't they fold several hands before you made
your comment? If so, then it would make me think they knew exactly what
they were doing before you said anything. I know you are defending your
integrity Morphy but don't waste any more of your time on these idiots.
The majority of us knew what you were up to.

I am not getting the monumental idiocy of not seeing exactly what that
comment was intended to accomplish. How the fuck can someone even
operate a computer and not get that?
