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.

  • Pacers have some interest in Michael Redd

    Wow, I guess you learn something new everyday. Pacers drafted Jerome James? . That must have been before I followed the Pacers.

    I almost did not post this article. It is rather obvious and there is no inside info here, but for what its worth

    State of the NBA: Free-agent gems coming to market

    Scramble will soon be on: Ray Allen and Michael Redd are the most prized players

    By Steve Luhm

    The Salt Lake Tribune





    Third of a four-part series leading up to Tuesday's NBA draft

    The NBA draft is Tuesday night in New York.

    The league's recruiting-and-signing period for free agents begins in July.

    If you believe the two events are unrelated, think again.

    Asked about the upcoming scramble for free agents, Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said, "We're aware who's out there. We'll see what happens in the draft - that will have a big impact on what we're thinking - and we'll go from there."

    The Jazz need a point guard, and in the NBA, there are two ways a team
    can re-stock its cupboards. It can draft players, or it can sign free agents. That's it.

    If the Jazz can't position themselves to draft a point guard such as Wake Forest's Chris Paul or Illinois' Deron Williams, they will almost certainly pursue a free agent such as Antonio Daniels or Earl Watson.

    Otherwise, they risk entering a new season with a huge hole on their roster.
    "There are players we have interest in, when we look at our team," Sloan said. "But whether we can get them, that's another thing."

    "I don't know, when we look at the whole list, that we look in terms of all the free agents," Jazz vice president of basketball operations Kevin O'Connor said. "I think we look at the list, decide on the players we're interested in and go to work."

    O'Connor prefers chasing unrestricted free agents - players who can unconditionally sign with any team.

    When the Jazz have gone after restricted free agents such as Elton Brand and Corey Maggette in recent years, they haven't had much luck. Their offer has been matched and O'Connor's attempt to upgrade Utah's roster has been stalled.

    "You wait 15 days and you hold your breath, but unless the home team doesn't want them, the home teams wins," O'Connor said.

    This summer, the two key free agents in the NBA are Milwaukee's Michael Redd and Seattle's Ray Allen.

    Both are veteran shooting guards who can score as well as any perimeter player in the league. Both will command huge salaries, but both could change the future of whichever team ends up with them.

    In Milwaukee, the Bucks are trying to keep Redd, who averaged 23 points per game last season and established himself as one of the game's best pure shooters.

    In February, Redd told owner Herb Kohl that staying in Milwaukee was "a priority," but the Bucks are going to have plenty of competition to re-sign him.

    Redd attended Ohio State and some believe the lure of home could lead him back to the Cleveland, which is about $25 million under the salary cap and will be the No. 1 player in this summer's free-agent market.

    Another possibility: Denver.
    The Nuggets, desperate for outside shooting, don't have enough cap space to sign Redd. But they could get him via a sign-and-trade deal, using point guard Andre Miller and his $8.1 million salary as bait.

    The Nuggets would give Redd a chance to play for his former coach, George Karl.

    "I could see why people could make that connection," Redd said. "Obviously, I played for George. We had a good rapport. So people are going to make that connection."


    Indiana and Dallas are also interested in Redd. The Pacers must replace Reggie Miller, and the Mavs already went after Redd once. He signed their $12 million offer sheet in 2002, when he was a restricted free agent. But the Bucks matched the offer.

    The same teams interested in signing Redd will also look at Allen, because they play the same position and have similar games.


    Sonics general manager Rick Sund recently said that keeping Allen "is a top priority, because he's an All-Star caliber player."

    Allen is finishing up a six-year, $71 million contract with Seattle and probably isn't interested in taking a pay cut. When the Sonics offered a five-year, $75 million extension last season, agent Lon Babby turned it down and halted negotiations.

    Does that mean Allen is leaving Seattle?
    "You can't handicap these things," Babby told the Tacoma News-Tribune. "It's a process that's got to unfold. Where it goes remains to be seen. . . . [But] he had an excellent season and is the premier free agent on the market."

    A position-by-position look at some of year's top free agents:

    POINT GUARDS

    It is not a strong year for free-agent points guards, although Seattle's Antonio Daniels plans to to opt out of his contract in Seattle. His presence deepens a pool that also includes unrestricted free agents Earl Watson of Memphis, Boston's Gary Payton and Charlotte's Brevin Knight.

    Marko Jaric (Clippers) and Chris Duhon (Bulls) are restricted free agents but, barring an astronomical offer from another team, neither L.A. nor Chicago expected to let their young and talented point guards get away.

    Daniels will be highly sought-after following his departure from Seattle, which is committed to Luke Ridnour as its starter. That's why Daniels left. He wants big money and he wants to start.

    Cleveland is a possible destination for Daniels, considering the Cavs could be as much as $25 million under the salary cap. They have another advantage if they pursue Daniels, who played for new coach Mike Brown and new assistant Hank Egan when all three were in San Antonio a few years ago.
    Payton is 37, but he might have earned another nice contract by helping lead Boston into the playoffs. His leadership was one reason the young Celtics turned around their season, and general managers around the league probably noticed.

    Payton says his top priority is remaining in Boston, but it's known he would not forego a chance to return to the West Coast.

    "He has to decide if [Boston] is the right place for him down the road," said Celtics executive director of basketball operations Danny Ainge.

    Other unrestricted point guards who are likely to draw interest from teams looking for solidify their backcourts are Damon Stoudamire, Jeff McInnis, Tyronn Lue, Steve Blake, Milt Palacio and Howard Eisley.


    SHOOTING GUARDS


    Washington's Larry Hughes is a prolific scorer with a knack for getting to the free-throw line. He's unrestricted and will likely be targeted by teams which lose out on Redd and Allen but are left with money to spend.

    Others who figure to command plenty of attention - some despite a considerable amount of off-the-court baggage - include Latrell Sprewell, Kerry Kittles, Jon Barry, Lucious Harris, DerMarr Johnson and Casey Jacobson.

    The Jazz's Raja Bell also is unrestricted, but Sloan hopes Utah can re-sign him.

    "He's done a good job for us," Sloan said. "He's worked hard and he's always tried to with us what we try to do from a team standpoint. That's been important to us, and I think it's helped him a little bit, too. . . . I love Raja Bell."

    Phoenix's Joe Johnson and Philadelphia's Willie Green are restricted free agents. The Suns are not expected to let go of Johnson, who blossomed in Mike D'Antoni's freewheeling offense. But Green's situation is different.

    He might have a chance to leave capped-out Philadelphia, where he was quietly effective last season in sporadic minutes behind Allen Iverson.

    Former 76ers coach Jim O'Brien called Green a "consummate professional" because Green would often sit for long stretches of the season before getting a chance to play. And when Green got into the game, he responded.

    In seven games when Iverson was injured, Green averaged 18 points a game. In all, Green averaged 18.1 points and 3.8 assists when he played at least 30 minutes.


    SMALL FORWARDS

    The Clippers' Bobby Simmons is the clear-cut king among unrestricted small forwards.

    A former second round pick, Simmons was a wash-out for two seasons with Washington before finding his niche as a hardworking member of the improving Clippers.

    "I have to weigh my options - to see what's best for my family," Simmons told the Orange County Register. "I'd love to stay here because of my teammates and the coaching staff. . . . But it's going to be very interesting for a guy like me, who's never been in this situation before."

    Beyond Simmons, the choices are limited.
    New Jersey's Brian Scalabrine and Houston's Scott Padgett are unrestricted. But both have expressed a desire to stay home, and the Nets and Rockets have indicated they will probably re-sign these valuable blue-collar type role players.

    Bryon Russell had his moments in Denver last season and wants to stay. But the Nuggets probably will look elsewhere for firepower off the bench. Russell probably will be looking or a new home, and he might find one because of his experience and affordability. Ditto for Shandon Anderson, another ex-Jazz player who spent most of last season in Miami.

    Restricted free agents who could help elsewhere but aren't expected to get away from their current teams include Grant Hill (Orlando), Vladimir Radmanovic (Seattle), Kyle Korver (Philadelphia) and Matt Bonner (Toronto).


    POWER FORWARDS

    The NBA draft is deep with power forwards, and so is the free-agent market.
    The list of unrestricted players who could be difference-makers next season starts with Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Donyell Marshall and Antoine Walker. Throw in players who can opt out of their contracts - Sacramento's Darius Songalia, San Antonio's Robert Horry and Toronto's Aaron Williams - and teams looking for power forwards have a variety of options.

    Walker is one of those baggage-toting veterans whose past might scare off some teams, but he could provide plenty of offense for teams looking for an inside-outside scorer.

    Walker returned to Boston via a midseason trade last year and sparked the Celtics' playoff drive. But it's likely Boston will keep Walker only if it can get him for the right price.

    "A big part of the decision is on him," said Ainge.

    Marshall wants out of Toronto - he became disenchanted with his role behind blossoming star Chris Bosh last year - and could end up in New Jersey. The Nets also are targeting power forwards such as Sean May, Ike Diogu, Charlie Villanueva and Fran Vazquez in the draft, and Marshall could turn out to be a sidekick for one of them.

    Memphis' Stromile Swift is probably in the second tier of unrestricted free agents, but a team in need of relative inexpensive experience and athleticism could give him a long look.


    CENTERS

    Assuming Shaquille O'Neal does not opt out of his $30 million contract with Miami, Cleveland's Zydrunas Ilgauskas is the No. 1 free agent among centers.

    He is unrestricted and will likely be renounced by the cap-conscious Cavs, who might try to re-sign him at a price that would help them pursue some free-agent help in the backcourt.

    It's an interesting plan: team LeBron James with Ilgauskas and Redd - or Allen - and Cleveland could quickly move into a contending position in the Eastern Conference.


    Ilgauskas earned $14.6 million last season, and he isn't keen on taking much of a pay cut. In April, the Cavs offered him a three- or four-year deal that would have averaged about $10 million annually, but Ilgauskas turned it down.


    Seattle center Jerome James isn't a household name, but he was a key to the Sonics' division championship and playoff run. A former second-round pick by Indiana, he didn't do much with the Pacers, but latched on with Seattle and improved as last season went along. A nice payday awaits, either with the Sonics or another team looking for an up-and-coming 7-footer.


    Others on the list of unrestricted centers are mostly veteran backup-types such as Andrew DeClerq, Ervin Johnson, Elden Campbell and Dikembe Mutombo.

    Re: Pacers have some interest in Michael Redd

    so basically the article says the pacers are interested in redd because they need to replace reggie? a rather weak connection.

    that said, i think it would be great if we can swing a trade for redd. i'd much rather have redd than ray allen. though if it comes down to it, both are pretty ok

        id rather have redd over allen as well.....but i think we stand little chance with either....

        i think the redd in cleveland thing makes a lot of sense.....he can play with bogut in milwaukee....or lebron in cleveland.....lebron and redd on the wing would be very impressive....cant help but think redd ends up with lebron...

        and id kinda forgot about daniels with brown in san antonio....thats probably a very good bet as well....

        lebron, redd and daniels is quite a perimeter....

              It's clear he got him mixed up with our James Jones, who we drafted in the second round in 2003.

                  Of course the Pacers have some interest in Michael Redd. Who wouldn't have interest in Michael Redd?

                  Now, actually making a strong push to sign him, and offer the money required is an entirely different story...but this journalist didn't even take that into effect. He has no evidence whatsoever that the Pacers will do everything possible to sign Redd...all he's doing is putting 1 and 1 together and coming to the conclusion that, "The Pacers have lost Reggie...so they need a new shooting guard...and Redd is a pretty good shooting guard".

                          I'm not an expert at graphics by any means - I'm sure there are lots of errors in the image. I was trying to blend that section of the image after his head was inserted. Oh well...can't blame me for trying, right?

                            AHH!!!! It's JEROME "HULK" HARRISON!!!
                            "It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

                              Now, actually making a strong push to sign him, and offer the money required is an entirely different story...but this journalist didn't even take that into effect. He has no evidence whatsoever that the Pacers will do everything possible to sign Redd...all he's doing is putting 1 and 1 together and coming to the conclusion that, "The Pacers have lost Reggie...so they need a new shooting guard...and Redd is a pretty good shooting guard".
