The Rules of Pacers Digest

Hello everyone,

Whether your are a long standing forum member or whether you have just registered today, it's a good idea to read and review the rules below so that you have a very good idea of what to expect when you come to Pacers Digest.

A quick note to new members: Your posts will not immediately show up when you make them. An administrator has to approve at least your first post before the forum software will later upgrade your account to the status of a fully-registered member. This usually happens within a couple of hours or so after your post(s) is/are approved, so you may need to be a little patient at first.

Why do we do this? So that it's more difficult for spammers (be they human or robot) to post, and so users who are banned cannot immediately re-register and start dousing people with verbal flames.

Below are the rules of Pacers Digest. After you have read them, you will have a very good sense of where we are coming from, what we expect, what we don't want to see, and how we react to things.

Rule #1

Pacers Digest is intended to be a place to discuss basketball without having to deal with the kinds of behaviors or attitudes that distract people from sticking with the discussion of the topics at hand. These unwanted distractions can come in many forms, and admittedly it can sometimes be tricky to pin down each and every kind that can rear its ugly head, but we feel that the following examples and explanations cover at least a good portion of that ground and should at least give people a pretty good idea of the kinds of things we actively discourage:

"Anyone who __________ is a liar / a fool / an idiot / a blind homer / has their head buried in the sand / a blind hater / doesn't know basketball / doesn't watch the games"

"People with intelligence will agree with me when I say that __________"

"Only stupid people think / believe / do ___________"

"I can't wait to hear something from PosterX when he/she sees that **insert a given incident or current event that will have probably upset or disappointed PosterX here**"

"He/she is just delusional"

"This thread is stupid / worthless / embarrassing"

"I'm going to take a moment to point and / laugh at PosterX / GroupOfPeopleY who thought / believed *insert though/belief here*"

"Remember when PosterX said OldCommentY that no longer looks good? "

In general, if a comment goes from purely on topic to something 'ad hominem' (personal jabs, personal shots, attacks, flames, however you want to call it, towards a person, or a group of people, or a given city/state/country of people), those are most likely going to be found intolerable.

We also dissuade passive aggressive behavior. This can be various things, but common examples include statements that are basically meant to imply someone is either stupid or otherwise incapable of holding a rational conversation. This can include (but is not limited to) laughing at someone's conclusions rather than offering an honest rebuttal, asking people what game they were watching, or another common problem is Poster X will say "that player isn't that bad" and then Poster Y will say something akin to "LOL you think that player is good". We're not going to tolerate those kinds of comments out of respect for the community at large and for the sake of trying to just have an honest conversation.

Now, does the above cover absolutely every single kind of distraction that is unwanted? Probably not, but you should by now have a good idea of the general types of things we will be discouraging. The above examples are meant to give you a good feel for / idea of what we're looking for. If something new or different than the above happens to come along and results in the same problem (that being, any other attitude or behavior that ultimately distracts from actually just discussing the topic at hand, or that is otherwise disrespectful to other posters), we can and we will take action to curb this as well, so please don't take this to mean that if you managed to technically avoid saying something exactly like one of the above examples that you are then somehow off the hook.

That all having been said, our goal is to do so in a generally kind and respectful way, and that doesn't mean the moment we see something we don't like that somebody is going to be suspended or banned, either. It just means that at the very least we will probably say something about it, quite possibly snipping out the distracting parts of the post in question while leaving alone the parts that are actually just discussing the topics, and in the event of a repeating or excessive problem, then we will start issuing infractions to try to further discourage further repeat problems, and if it just never seems to improve, then finally suspensions or bans will come into play. We would prefer it never went that far, and most of the time for most of our posters, it won't ever have to.

A slip up every once and a while is pretty normal, but, again, when it becomes repetitive or excessive, something will be done. Something occasional is probably going to be let go (within reason), but when it starts to become habitual or otherwise a pattern, odds are very good that we will step in.

There's always a small minority that like to push people's buttons and/or test their own boundaries with regards to the administrators, and in the case of someone acting like that, please be aware that this is not a court of law, but a private website run by people who are simply trying to do the right thing as they see it. If we feel that you are a special case that needs to be dealt with in an exceptional way because your behavior isn't explicitly mirroring one of our above examples of what we generally discourage, we can and we will take atypical action to prevent this from continuing if you are not cooperative with us.

Also please be aware that you will not be given a pass simply by claiming that you were 'only joking,' because quite honestly, when someone really is just joking, for one thing most people tend to pick up on the joke, including the person or group that is the target of the joke, and for another thing, in the event where an honest joke gets taken seriously and it upsets or angers someone, the person who is truly 'only joking' will quite commonly go out of his / her way to apologize and will try to mend fences. People who are dishonest about their statements being 'jokes' do not do so, and in turn that becomes a clear sign of what is really going on. It's nothing new.

In any case, quite frankly, the overall quality and health of the entire forum's community is more important than any one troublesome user will ever be, regardless of exactly how a problem is exhibiting itself, and if it comes down to us having to make a choice between you versus the greater health and happiness of the entire community, the community of this forum will win every time.

Lastly, there are also some posters, who are generally great contributors and do not otherwise cause any problems, who sometimes feel it's their place to provoke or to otherwise 'mess with' that small minority of people described in the last paragraph, and while we possibly might understand why you might feel you WANT to do something like that, the truth is we can't actually tolerate that kind of behavior from you any more than we can tolerate the behavior from them. So if we feel that you are trying to provoke those other posters into doing or saying something that will get themselves into trouble, then we will start to view you as a problem as well, because of the same reason as before: The overall health of the forum comes first, and trying to stir the pot with someone like that doesn't help, it just makes it worse. Some will simply disagree with this philosophy, but if so, then so be it because ultimately we have to do what we think is best so long as it's up to us.

If you see a problem that we haven't addressed, the best and most appropriate course for a forum member to take here is to look over to the left of the post in question. See underneath that poster's name, avatar, and other info, down where there's a little triangle with an exclamation point (!) in it? Click that. That allows you to report the post to the admins so we can definitely notice it and give it a look to see what we feel we should do about it. Beyond that, obviously it's human nature sometimes to want to speak up to the poster in question who has bothered you, but we would ask that you try to refrain from doing so because quite often what happens is two or more posters all start going back and forth about the original offending post, and suddenly the entire thread is off topic or otherwise derailed. So while the urge to police it yourself is understandable, it's best to just report it to us and let us handle it. Thank you!

All of the above is going to be subject to a case by case basis, but generally and broadly speaking, this should give everyone a pretty good idea of how things will typically / most often be handled.

Rule #2

If the actions of an administrator inspire you to make a comment, criticism, or express a concern about it, there is a wrong place and a couple of right places to do so.

The wrong place is to do so in the original thread in which the administrator took action. For example, if a post gets an infraction, or a post gets deleted, or a comment within a larger post gets clipped out, in a thread discussing Paul George, the wrong thing to do is to distract from the discussion of Paul George by adding your off topic thoughts on what the administrator did.

The right places to do so are:

A) Start a thread about the specific incident you want to talk about on the Feedback board. This way you are able to express yourself in an area that doesn't throw another thread off topic, and this way others can add their two cents as well if they wish, and additionally if there's something that needs to be said by the administrators, that is where they will respond to it.

B) Send a private message to the administrators, and they can respond to you that way.

If this is done the wrong way, those comments will be deleted, and if it's a repeating problem then it may also receive an infraction as well.

Rule #3

If a poster is bothering you, and an administrator has not or will not deal with that poster to the extent that you would prefer, you have a powerful tool at your disposal, one that has recently been upgraded and is now better than ever: The ability to ignore a user.

When you ignore a user, you will unfortunately still see some hints of their existence (nothing we can do about that), however, it does the following key things:

A) Any post they make will be completely invisible as you scroll through a thread.

B) The new addition to this feature: If someone QUOTES a user you are ignoring, you do not have to read who it was, or what that poster said, unless you go out of your way to click on a link to find out who it is and what they said.

To utilize this feature, from any page on Pacers Digest, scroll to the top of the page, look to the top right where it says 'Settings' and click that. From the settings page, look to the left side of the page where it says 'My Settings', and look down from there until you see 'Edit Ignore List' and click that. From here, it will say 'Add a Member to Your List...' Beneath that, click in the text box to the right of 'User Name', type in or copy & paste the username of the poster you are ignoring, and once their name is in the box, look over to the far right and click the 'Okay' button. All done!

Rule #4

Regarding infractions, currently they carry a value of one point each, and that point will expire in 31 days. If at any point a poster is carrying three points at the same time, that poster will be suspended until the oldest of the three points expires.

Rule #5

When you share or paste content or articles from another website, you must include the URL/link back to where you found it, who wrote it, and what website it's from. Said content will be removed if this doesn't happen.

An example:

If I copy and paste an article from the Indianapolis Star website, I would post something like this:

http://www.linktothearticlegoeshere.com/article
Title of the Article
Author's Name
Indianapolis Star

Rule #6

We cannot tolerate illegal videos on Pacers Digest. This means do not share any links to them, do not mention any websites that host them or link to them, do not describe how to find them in any way, and do not ask about them. Posts doing anything of the sort will be removed, the offenders will be contacted privately, and if the problem becomes habitual, you will be suspended, and if it still persists, you will probably be banned.

The legal means of watching or listening to NBA games are NBA League Pass Broadband (for US, or for International; both cost money) and NBA Audio League Pass (which is free). Look for them on NBA.com.

Rule #7

Provocative statements in a signature, or as an avatar, or as the 'tagline' beneath a poster's username (where it says 'Member' or 'Administrator' by default, if it is not altered) are an unwanted distraction that will more than likely be removed on sight. There can be shades of gray to this, but in general this could be something political or religious that is likely going to provoke or upset people, or otherwise something that is mean-spirited at the expense of a poster, a group of people, or a population.

It may or may not go without saying, but this goes for threads and posts as well, particularly when it's not made on the off-topic board (Market Square).

We do make exceptions if we feel the content is both innocuous and unlikely to cause social problems on the forum (such as wishing someone a Merry Christmas or a Happy Easter), and we also also make exceptions if such topics come up with regards to a sports figure (such as the Lance Stephenson situation bringing up discussions of domestic abuse and the law, or when Jason Collins came out as gay and how that lead to some discussion about gay rights).

However, once the discussion seems to be more/mostly about the political issues instead of the sports figure or his specific situation, the thread is usually closed.

Rule #8

We prefer self-restraint and/or modesty when making jokes or off topic comments in a sports discussion thread. They can be fun, but sometimes they derail or distract from a topic, and we don't want to see that happen. If we feel it is a problem, we will either delete or move those posts from the thread.

Rule #9

Generally speaking, we try to be a "PG-13" rated board, and we don't want to see sexual content or similarly suggestive content. Vulgarity is a more muddled issue, though again we prefer things to lean more towards "PG-13" than "R". If we feel things have gone too far, we will step in.

Rule #10

We like small signatures, not big signatures. The bigger the signature, the more likely it is an annoying or distracting signature.

Rule #11

Do not advertise anything without talking about it with the administrators first. This includes advertising with your signature, with your avatar, through private messaging, and/or by making a thread or post.

  • When Gnome Roams Naptown Will Follow (2012)

    Once again the Roaming Gnome has hit the road for a series of Pacers games. By now he should be in Nevada and prepping to make the Vegas to LA drive for the Lakers game with his wife. He didn't mention where the seats are in Staples but maybe he'll pop on here and clue us in.

    After LA he'll fly up to San Fran where I'll meet them for some wine country fun before hitting the Cow Town itself, Sacramento. For that game we have pretty good seats on the sideline within the first few rows. I will not be bringing a cowbell, but maybe Gnome and wield his charms and get the Maloofs to comp us some Vegas deals for making the effort.

    From there will be hotfooting it back over to SF so Gnome can attempt a whirlwind tour of the City before going back over the Bay to Oaktown's Oracle, one of the crown jewels of the NBA in terms of classic environments. Right now I'd say OKC, MSG, Boston and Oakland are the places to see games outside of the Fieldhouse, so I'm pretty pumped. It's not like the arena is fresh and new, but I anticipate a lively, involved crowd. Once again we will have great seats, should be row 4 on the sidelines but with everyone in blue and gold it might be tough to tell.

    Anyway, I'll do my best with photos but I've discovered over the last few seasons that each arena has it's own rules that vary wildly from place to place. The Fieldhouse has been one of the more forgiving arenas when it comes to cameras. Pretty disappointing when half the reason for the road trip is to check out the other arenas.

    Have you guys ever actually seen the Pacers win a game on the road?

    Have fun, I'm sure that Gnome will let everyone in the general area know that you are Pacers fans. Just make sure he doesn't start booing during the National Anthem, they may take it the wrong way.

      I think The Barclays center can be added to that list that arena looks amazing and in the games I have seen the atmosphere has been amazing. Sleep Train Arena (Arco) looks like a dump but the fans are normally great. Agree on GS that place is amazing watching on TV the crowd is great one of the few places you feel like you are at the game watching that is how loud that crowd is.

            Arco Arena is small....DAMN small...hence why it's really loud. I went to the SacTown Pacer game a few years back....it was loud...but small. The fans are dedicated....but I will say that it was the only game that I have ever gone to where there was a rowdy and irritating fan that had no problem bothering me cuz I was rooting for the opposing team. This is likely an isolated incident......but keeping in mind that I am always in "enemy territory" when I go to see a Pacers games ( I live in the SF Bay Area and can only go to Warriors/Pacers games )....no one has ever bothered me....except when I went to the one Kings game.

              Now, having posted that I figured this would be a good place to post photos from my earlier solo trip up to Minneapolis. Some of the more observant PD'ers noticed my choice seat for that horrible experience. Nothing in the world compares to the utter defeat you feel when an entire arena celebrates the last-second layup win over your team.

              I'm getting used to it by this point. Here's my record the last 3 years:

              10-11
              DAL - loss, down 10 most of the night (Gnome had been in OKC before this for a real slaughter)
              HOU - lost by 30 or something and then had the post-game locker room fight, the low point of the Vogel era

              11-12
              SAS - loss, down 10ish for the most part but played a spirited game and had some chances
              HOU - should have won easily but ended up needing OT to get it done...finally a road victory

              12-13
              Minny - not a pretty game, terrible Pacers effort, and pathetic to see how much the Minny fans really thought there team was good without Rubio and Love (they aren't)

              So I'm 1-5 at this point, Gnome was 0-3 2 years ago and didn't hit the road last year. Not sure what his record was before that. And it's hard not to think our fortunes aren't about to change. Oh what I wouldn't do for another Hill miracle finish.


              Anyway, Minny...

              First, the location is great. Minneapolis is nice city with good public transportation and like Indy it has it's sports arenas downtown. My friend lives within walking distance which amplifies this effect. The prior two summers we did Twins games in Target Field and it's awesome.

              HOWEVER....the arena just sucks. It's very MSA in the grey cement concourse and low lighting. It feels grungy and has zero character or decorative qualities to it. Plus it's oddly inside another building, meaning you go inside and give them your ticket, and then you move from this non-arena space further along till you actually enter the arena. Almost like a convention center, an old cement convention center. Some paint and decorations would go a long way. I enjoyed the Texas arenas more, especially Dallas.

              The arena inside appears smaller, it only has 2 levels with a row of suites in- between. There are bars/Best Locker Room types of areas off of both ends of the arena and with my seat right on the front row I found the amount of foot traffic that had to return from those bar areas and walk virtually in my seat space to be annoying as hell. They don't have aisle space down there and it appears they let A LOT more people interact with those lower level spaces. Also it appears that you can enter the game from one of the bars, meaning they have a street entrance and then you show your ticket to move on into the arena, at least as far as I could figure out.

              But enough talk, here's some photos.



              They've tried to make some type of special experience by placing giant chair/loveseat types of seating on the arena concourse. Meh.



              I did like the color seating with the logo green and black pattern. Note the suites.



              Note the sign for the bar above the tunnel. Both ends are like this. Note the very flat, long area of baseline seating which moves fans farther away than BiLF does.



              Also I didn't care for the bland cement walls/structure at the top of the arena.



              Hey, banners.



              For some reason Minny put Chris and Quinn on the opposite side of the court. So there is NO center court front row seating, period. Both sides have scoring/announcing. They offset this with more "by the bench" seats, but when you are 6 seats from the bench is it really better than being center court on the other side? I say no. Note that you can see Brooke standing in a blue skirt waiting to do some pre-game broadcasting.



              The one cool thing they do is use the full moon motif. You can see it in the lighted photo, and then with my unfortunately blurry photo you see how they turn out all the lights except for this full moon. The photo has it overexposed so you can't see the moon details, but the effect live is very good. Then the fans all do wolf howls. Pretty cool. Not rocket flies up into scoreboard cool, but pleasantly unique.





              Now some game stuff

              The shooting lines



              Starting lineup announcements on the road are sadly uneventful, but at least fans weren't chanting "Who's That!" Amateurs.



              Roy and D Williams



              Paul gets some Pendy hype



              Loooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.....did not play




              Obligatory tip photo



              West uses his height to make a nice entry pass



              Chances of Hibby converting it though = not good



              Some DJ squaring up. Note the Target branding on the stairs. Looked old and worn to me which added to the sense of cheapness.



              A decent pair of shots showing Green getting his jumper away while B Roy tried to close out on him





              The infamous AK47 bat wing tattoo. I got a much better look before realizing it might make a good photo. Definitely a head-scratcher choice in my opinion.



              Paul gets a little too aggressive on the shot close out, and Aldelman ruins the high price seating.



              A couple of shots of Paul squaring off on Chase. The first one has better focus/stability, but the 2nd has better composition. Typical failure in the world of sports photos. So tough to get it just right.





              West doing what he does against Pekovic. The game was very physical.



              A ruined photo kinda but I like it when some of the action is blurred while other parts are crisply frozen. This one almost works, and pretty much describes every freaking offensive trip for Minny in the 4th quarter.




              Best I could do with my view slow lens, the only lens Minny would let me bring in. Hopefully Sacto and/or GSW are more forgiving.

                Just a FYI......inside the arena and the floor itself....yes, the Oracle Arena has been improved and the atmosphere is much better.....but comparing the concourse area where the food is.....no way is the Arena any better than what ( I imagine ) the Staples Center is setup much less compared to the Fieldhouse. Add in that the Oracle Arena is located in the middle of a bad part of Oakland where you'd have to drive elsewhere in order to get something to eat or drink.....I'd say that the Fieldhouse is WAAAYYYY better than the Oracle Arena.

                Also...where are you sitting?

                My brother ( you met him when we came to Indy ) got me seats in Section 102 in Row 2....right behind the bench.

                Are you going to be sitting right behind the bench again like you normally do?

                At the Oracle Arena....if you have a DSLR that has a lens that is longer than a standard lens ( as in one that is clearly one of those professional lens ), then there is a 50/50 chance that the Security Guard will tell you that you can't bring it in and that you'd have to bring it back to your car.

                Last year, I brought my super zoom lens and the security guard didn't even notice it. But after going to another game that same year....a different security guard said that I couldn't bring it and I had to bring it back to my car. The difference was that the first time that they didn't check.....the lens wasn't attached to the DSLR...whereas the 2nd time that they did notice....the lens was attached to the DSLR. You can bring it....but I'd suggest keeping it separate from the DSLR itself.....while being prepared to bring it back to your car if the Security Guard notices it.

                BTW....as a result of this.....I got one of those "all in one" lens that has a super-zoom lens but is the same size as a standard DSLR lens.

                    Yes, depending on Fed Ex at least. Seller held the tickets for some reason and finally shipped at the last second.

                    And we should be in row 4 behind the bench, 3 rows in front of you.

                    Comes with parking pass which will come in handy if I have camera issues. I'll do the "not attached" approach, maybe put the longer lens in my camera bag and then have the camera out with the default lens on it.



                    Peck, note my 2nd post where I have our road records listed. I have seen a victory one time. Not sure about Gnome.

                      That is awesome! Hope you have a good time on the trip. No Lakers game for you?

                          Also one other funny note. Due half-seasons and to staying in Minny for the weekend which caused me to miss the home game vs Washington that I had tickets for (DOH!), the GSW game will mark the 3rd time I've seen the Pacers on the road (MIN, SAC, GSW) vs seeing them 3 times at home (SAC, DAL, NOH).

                          I'm the rare case of a fan having a road heavy early schedule.

                            Imawhat - Same old story for me, couldn't get enough free time to pick up the 3rd game like Gnome is.


                            Gnome, I should have had you bet something for me, but it's hard to enjoy the craps table vicariously. I sure hope they pull off the win in Staples tomorrow. Have you ever been there? I've been by it but never in it.

                              Awesome. I checked out the seats when I went to the ( coincidental ) Warriors/TWolves game and the seats in Row 2 are 4 or 5 rows behind the bench. These 4-5 rows are the Courtside A1-A5 seats. The seats that we will be in are still very good....close enough for you to yell at Hibbert when he's getting outmuscled by Carl Landry .

                              Parking is $20, so yeah.....the parking pass will come in handy. The Security Guard will likely check the camera bag...but hopefully, they won't notice it as much.
