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.

    Ron Artest (26) 2005-06 6.5 mil, 2006-07 7.1 mil , 2007-08 7.8 mil, 2008-09 player option 8.4 = 2yrs 13.6 mil , 3 yr 21.4 mil , play opt 4th yr 29.8 mil

    Right off the bat the imbalance in salary means 7.3 must be added from the Pacer side , plus I'm sure with Ron's history a #1 will have to be included.

    With Artest's supposive low trade value currently means a decent player like Fred Jones would have to be included too plus Pollards salary.

    We are now looking at Artest, F.Jones , Pollard and a #1 for Pierce.

    Plus with his opt out we may only have Pierce for 2 years. Sorry to me thats far too high a price to pay .
    wow...i wouldnt even do artest and pierce straight up

    let alone adding freddie, a pick, and scot

      Let's also not forget the other things he brings to the table as well. The cheap shots, the sulking, the dirty play & the team turmoil that he provides to the team cannot be overstated.

      You can sit there and say that certain players are better players than Artest, but I think that is missing the point, the most important thing is the overall effect Ron has on a game. I admit it is difficult to quantitfy - but Ron helps his team win in so many ways, many more ways than almost any player in the NBA

      Also no player in the history of the NBA has cost his team more losses than Ron Artest did this last year. He helped his team lose in so many ways, many more ways than any player in the NBA.

      He's a top 10 player, no doubt in my mind.
      He wasn't evena bottom 10 talent for every game but 7 last season.

        My prior post was in response to whether Artest is a top ten player, so I narrowly addressed that. I did not get into what effect his distractions have on him being a top ten player.

        If you consider he only played 7 games, he might have been the 226 most procutive player this past season.

          peck....i respect u...and thats why i ask this question....

          when u speak of artest....its like u become someone other than urself....

          u dont speak of opponents players the way you do of artest...in fact u never speak like u do when u discuss artest....its just so, so far out of character for u....

          why?....theres a fine line between love and hate, i know....but its almost like the sheer mention of artest seems to just hit a button and u become some other person....the obvious negative emotion u feel towards him just seems to be so out of character....

          and i cant understand, why...these types of emotions are usually only reserved for very personal relationships....its almost like u react like a woman scorned would....but im assuming thats far from the truth....

          so, again, im curious....why is it so personal with u where ron is concerned versus ur typical take on all other players and issues-a usually fairly unbiased and rational approach....im just very intriqued how a basketball player of any kind can evoke such a dramatic, somewhat irrational response from someone that appears to be just the opposite....

          so again, i ask with all due respect....why?

            Re: Pierce Being Shopped

            Yeah! #226! Whoo!

            If he's a top ten player, then he's #10. He's not a top 5 player and he's not a franchise player, period. He's the opposite of a franchise player. I tend to value big guys higher and I also judge by what they did THIS season, so here's the list:

            1. Shaq
            2. Duncan
            3. Garnett
            4. Dirk
            5. Amare (interchangable with #4)
            6. Allen Iverson
            7. LeBron James
            8. Dwyane Wade
            9. Tracy McGrady
            10. Kobe Bryant

            Then the rest is kind of a gray area. Steve Nash? Shaun Marion? Elton Brand, Gil Arenas, or J-Kidd? Ray Allen? I would be hard pressed to rank Artest ahead of the first 10 especially, but I don't think I could rank him ahead of these guys either.

              I don't believe that he has ever been traded has he? Maybe you are confusing him with Walker. Anyway, as far as his attitude goes, I would probably have a poor one if I was stuck on such crapy teams as he has been on. Not to mention the coaching changes every 2 years. I think under Rick he would improve his attitude. Heck, just knowing he was going to be on a winner would have to help. Is he as talented as Ron? No. But what he has between the ears is sounder, which makes him the safer player to have.

              We may all think Ron was screwed in his suspension this past season, but he made that bed himself. As I try to teach my kids, your reputation is everything. When you earn a bad one it only hurts you. Ron is going to be on probation, stated or not, for the rest of his career. The team has to question how much they can trust him to not implode and screw them again. I know I don't trust him right now, but I hope he comes back and proves me wrong.

                  I have a really hard time putting a player in the top ten if they are a defensive liability, and I refuse to put a player in the top 5 if they are a defensive liability

                  Sorry, Dirk, sorry Nash, sorry Amare, sorry Iverson

There's a reason we were titled a championship contender with him, and lost w/o him.
                    Like I said, he is very likely a top 10/15 talent, but NOWHERE NEAR a top 10/15 player. If Ron were a top 15 player, he would actually play the games, and we would never be worrying about how all the stupid **** he does affects the team.

                    If Ron were a top 15 player, we'd probably still be playing right now.

                      Re: Pierce Being Shopped

                      All the debate of Ron for Pierce I believe is ultimately moot as Ainge would almost never ship Pierce to eastern conference team, especially a contending
                      one like the Pacers. And especially not to a team with Bird as the GM.
                      IF the Pacers could get Pierce in my dream scenario I would give up
                      Jackson and Pollard and a 1st. Wait a minute, if I am going to dream, dream BIG. Bender and Croshere should do the trick.

                      I guess a question we should ask ourselves is would the Pacers have made it to the finals with Pierce added to this years roster with Artest out?
                      Now that is something to ponder. Of course Pollard and the number 1 would be
                      gone probably.

                        Re: Pierce Being Shopped

                        artest was 3rd team all nba and DPOY in the 2003-04 season...that would be a good argument for him being in the top 15....

                        some of u people who seem to have this great disdain for artest should do this:

                        pick a sf that you would rather have if ur gonna play a game against any opponent that gives u a better chance to win that game....forget all the personal feelings and whatever....ur supposed to be pacers fans...you dont have to love everyone on the team....but pick the sf that gives the pacers the best chance to win any given game....pure basketball....

                        odds of picking a player that gives them a better chance to win are slim...let alone being able to get that player....one might argue lebron or something-which is whole other debate-because u want ron on ur team because he can neutralize that other great sf-something they really cant do to him....

                        artest gives the pacers the best chance to win a game at the sf spot, which translates into regular season victories and then playoff victories...u look at his salary and it just makes it that much clearer of an argument....

                        yes...he needs to be on the floor to do that...but though he sat out last season due to suspension....the odds of him having something like that happen again are astronomical....he played the whole season prior basically without incident...and last season was a fluke...and anyone that cant see that isnt being very objective....the things that had to transpire for him to miss the season were simply bizarre...

                        if u hate him fine....if u are the type that simply cant forgive...fine...i have my own feelings on that -but theyre irrelevant....hes a pacer...and he gives ur pacers a great chance to win games and he brings an effort to every game that is unsurpassed in the nba-something that many of u whine so much about when it comes to other players....

                        he has his faults like all humans....dont hate him for it...u dont have to love...just dont hate him...love the team...and realize all the positives he brings instead of dwelling on the few negatives....every player has negatives....and dwelling on them is counterproductive....i thought trolls were the ones that typically like to continue to spout off about a teams little problems....

                          he has his faults like all humans....dont hate him for it...u dont have to love...just dont hate him...love the team...and realize all the positives he brings instead of dwelling on the few negatives....every player has negatives....and dwelling on them is counterproductive....i thought trolls were the ones that typically like to continue to spout off about a teams little problems....
                          First, Bruce Bowan was 2nd vote getter for DPY and I wouldn't put him anywhere near the top players in the league, so that alone is not enough. Second, while Ron does give max effort every game, he isn't the only guy in the leqague that does nor does this energy always used positively for the team. If he is all out but out of control it does no good. I'm not just talking being wacky, but also making good basketball decisions.

                          Your last statement that I highlighted is the most important one. If you consider Ron's emotional control, or lack there of, to be a little problem for this team then I need some of what you are taking. This next season is going hinge on this more than anything else. Tins and J.O. being healthy won't matter if Ron has not changed. We don't have Reggie to bail us out, so after Ron it doesn't look good.

                              Here is my feel on all this.

                              Ron Artest is going to shock a lot of people this season, because I believe his real breakout season was delayed. I think last year he was on his way to the best season on both sides of the ball that he had ever had. I also think he would have been a second teamer this past season. When I saw the way he took the team on his shoulders to start the season in the 7 games with Jermaine, Reggie, Jeff and Anthony hurt, I was shocked. I saw a new player. When he wasn't there for the two games Rick benched him for... We weren't the same team. He showed me that he was the best player on the team and that he was ready to take the team to new heights. If i'm not mistaken, we won all 7 games he played this year... correct?

                              He is going to have a breakout year this season regaining the DPOY award and averaging 20+ points a game. Then you'll all be glad we didn't trade him.

                                ron was dpoy in addition to 3rd team all nba....the all nba teams are roughly speaking the best 15 players in the league...with the first team being roughly the best 5...2nd team being the next best 5 etc....him being 3rd team all nba combined with dpoy makes for a very good argument when saying hes one of the top 15...

                                only a handful of players in the league 'bring it' like ron does every nite....his level of intensity on both ends of the floor is quite impressive...and i stated it was unsurpassed and not interested in arguing whether its matched or not-its really not important...when a player of his talents comes with that sort of intensity every nite....well it speaks volumes...

                                as far as him being wacky....and his basketball decisions...there is a reason hes an allstar, all nba, and dpoy...because those that truly understand the game realize that when u bring that level of intensity every nite there are bound to be times that maybe it gets a little out of focus....you play that close to the edge and things will go south every once in a while...however its the exception and not the rule...and the overall performance-as with any player-is what counts...and his overall performance on both ends of the floor is seldom matched in this league

                                people should use the same barometer with ron as they do other players....noone excuses ron for his inappropriate behavior....he has made more than his fair share of mistakes....but he seems to be improving...and it is quite likely he will have a season much like the season from two years ago as far as extracurricular activities go-and will probably have a monster season as far as production goes-which will go a long way in helping the pacers achieve their team goals....and hopefully go a long way in quieting those that seem to have such disdain for artest-though im not gonna hold my breath

                                do u really honestly believe that everything that has happened to ron wont have a profound effect on him? seriously, how could anyone think that events similar to what happened last year will take place again-let alone that he will react the same way....he lost five million dollars and has been embarassed and had a huge part of his life taken away...it only stands to reason that he will be aware of the behavior issues that caused this and will have bettered them...hes not a monster like some of u like to make him out to be...hes a human like all of us....i wish some of u would keep this in mind and put urself in his shoes
