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.

    Artest Begins Long Way Back to Uncertainty


    By LIZ ROBBINS
    Published: July 17, 2005
    MINNEAPOLIS, July 16 - Silence, a few hands clapping and then the sound of a ball bouncing in the cavernous Target Center on Friday welcomed Ron Artest back for his first game in eight months.

    It was not much louder than when he was alone.

    Only two months earlier, when the Indiana Pacers' season had ended in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Detroit Pistons and the players were walking out of the arena for the summer, Artest was walking in to begin his season.

    At midnight on May 19, Artest was allowed back in the N.B.A., his six-month suspension for igniting the brawl at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Nov. 19 lifted. He took shots that night on the practice court at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, the same 3-pointer that swished again Friday.

    In uniform again alongside the Pacers' young players and journeymen in the Minnesota Summer League before barely 200 fans Friday, team employees and reporters, Artest seemed taken aback by the quiet. Perhaps people were holding their breath, wondering what might happen.

    "What did they want to see?" Artest said afterward with a sweetly sly smile, understanding his mixed image.

    Off the court, he is generous and gentle, defying the horror reels of the fight that have been continuously replayed since last November. On the court, you just never know. "Sometimes, I'm unpredictable," he said.

    On Friday, concluding a lost season spent on charity, workouts and parenting his four children, Artest was on the court looking as chiseled and intense as ever. Back wearing the No. 15 he had at St. John's, Artest scored 23 points in 35 minutes, his jumper smooth, even if his defensive timing was off. On Saturday, he scored 16 points in 27 minutes.

    The Minnesota fans were polite; beer sales were limited.

    It was a cup of beer thrown at Artest by a Pistons fan that enraged him and sent him rushing into the stands swinging on Nov. 19. N.B.A. Commissioner David Stern suspended Artest for the final 73 regular-season games and the playoffs.

    "Just one day, something happened," Artest said Friday. "It was just a decision by a higher power. You move on."

    Along the way, he learned what not to do. "Thinking first before reacting, that's real important," Artest said in an interview Friday night in the team hotel. "You use your mind, you get more accomplished in a better way. Next time, I'll be able to handle those situations better."

    Next time. Will there be a next time in Indiana?

    Donnie Walsh, the Pacers' chief executive and president, said teams had been calling every day for the past eight months wanting Artest. "We're not trading him," Walsh said.

    Larry Bird, the Pacers' president for basketball operations, agreed. "We know what we have in him," he said.

    That was not what two team executives in the Eastern Conference said last week, suggesting that for the right trade, Indiana would consider a deal. They requested anonymity because their teams had not discussed a trade.

    At four years and $29 million remaining on his contract, Artest is a bargain and a wild card. One of the top players in the league, the defensive player of the year in 2004, he has the talent and aggressiveness to change a game in an instant.

    Certainly, the arc of his career changed in an instant on Nov. 19. "I just know Ronnie missed the game so much - it's one thing in his life he truly loves, other than his family," Bird said. "This is his job. Any time you have something taken away from you, you miss it. We'll see how he reacts this year."

    Artest's volatility and competitiveness on the court belie his sensitivity off of it. He financially supports most of his family from Queens. His annual Queensbridge Projects basketball tournament, where he pays for nearly 600 campers, is this week.

    While doing sports television shows in Los Angeles last month, Artest visited the Dream Center, a mission to feed, educate and involve homeless children and adults, and he said he wanted to start a similar center in New York. In Los Angeles, he also took in a W.N.B.A. game, at which he saw an old friend from Queens, Chamique Holdsclaw, play for the Sparks. She recalled how she had routinely beaten "Ron-Ron" in one-on-one as teenagers.

    Traded in March from Washington, Holdsclaw did not have a replica Sparks jersey yet. "Ron went out and bought a white T-shirt and wrote my name on it with my number in big letters," Holdsclaw said. "That's Ron."

    Artest said: "I never gave people a chance to see another side, and right now I'm giving people a chance to know me. Everybody has different days and emotional roller coasters, that's just me.

    "I'm not trying to redo my image and please anybody. I'm going to continue to be myself, so I'm not trying to get Cheerio commercials or Coca-Cola commercials; I want to do a commercial in the hood."

    Besides keeping it real, Artest insists he will keep it under control next season, which will be his seventh in the league.

    "The game is too big, it's too strong to take away from me," he said. "The game loves me, and I love the game. No matter what happens, it'll be with me."

      The more I read what Larry has to say about Ron, the more I think he is his biggest fan.

      I guess we'll see if that is a good thing or not.

          watch it SIG...u r starting to quote me when u say larry appears to be rons biggest fan...

          it seems pretty simple really....because of everything that took place, bird and artest ended up spending alot of time together...and the result seems to be what we see with larrys comments regarding him....

          for all the concerns that everyone had with ron, the suspension provided the opportunity for bird to spend time with ron that under any other situation, he never could have....therefore all the questions that existed, he was able to answer and develop a very good feel for....

          i feel that there was a much greater chance of ron being traded, especially before the deadline, if not for the suspension and all the time that ron spent with bird....

            You know... It wouldn't surprise a part of me to see JO traded and a deal (as part of or in addition to) worked to get some type of mentor presence brought into the lockerroom for Artest instead of someone like JO feuding with him. I'm not sure there is an answer with both JO and Artest on the same team, or an Artest trade for 'equal value' that could coexist with JO.

            I've resigned myself to believe JO makes the Pacers good... Artest makes them great.

              I love your thinking.

              Although, I also believe that Artest makes JO great. But, if JO were traded, I'm sure Artest would make his replacement great as well.

                how can you be sure that artest would be as effective without JO? artest has never had the pressure of being the main offensive and defensive threat and leading the team. sometimes i think fans take JO forgranted. Good offensive and defensive post players are hard to come by. I'm not sure I'd want to see him traded so that we can build around artest, someone who spent 73 games on the suspension list last season.

                  ill probably be accused of reading way too much into things....and that very well could be true...but based on the comments bird has made, i do wonder about a few things...

                  bird said right after the season, in the season ending press conference that jo had to step up...that he had do more....and that he had a talk with jo and let him no what he expected of him and what all he needed to do....when asked about that further, bird said he though jo could do it, but that would be up to jo and we should know more when the players come back from the break....

                  i said it then, and i feel even more convinced now based on what has been said regarding artest of late by bird.....i think bird, after spending so much time with ron, told jo that ron wasnt going anywhere....that both jo and ron needed each other to truly make this team great...and whatever personal feelings he had towards ron would need to be put behind him and it was up to jo, as the franchise player, to make sure he sets the example by making sure he was committed to the team and ron on that team....and if jo could do that, then fine....if not, then they would have to take a look at a different direction-quite possibly that direction being one that involves trading jo....remember something...jo makes alot of money....and with the luxury tax now imminent you cant really afford to have a player making that much money being a problem...even more so when ron is one of the best bargains in the league....bird probably told jo that rons not perfect, but hes the best teammate they will be able to get for the money, and jo needs to realize that and step up....

                  otherwise, u could see a trade for kg....or....something that resembles the pistons formula a bit, trying to get a couple of super players in exchange for jo....if the pacers were to trade jo, they could probably get quite a bit in exchange...

                  that being said, i like jo and respect him...and i think hes mature enuff to put the past in the past and realize that both he and ron are more mature now....just as bird seemed to indicate he thought jo would respond positively...

                          From the casual fans point of view, they see JO as a player who they have watched grow up and who has carried his own.

                          Ronnie has played well, when he is playing. But he has had many "incidents" and just when you think he cant do anything else that can hurt the team...........

                          again, just my opinion...

                          jo...for obvious reasons will always have incredible trade value....ur talking about a top 5 player who has pretty much everything u look for in a power post player....with the only possible exception being the passing ability-something that would be overlooked in a trade...any team that could get jo would be drooling over the possibility of doing so....

                          artest on the other hand, his trade value is obviously clouded....there are far more teams that might be interested in him as the season progresses than some on here might like to admit....

                          but think about this...what can u possibly get in return for artest?

                          he is a perceived greater risk than most...but hes also locked in for the next 3 years at about 7 million a year....are u gonna be able to get a trade that betters ur team for 7 million worth of players in return? highly unlikely...damn near impossible....

                          however, what kind of players could u get in return when u can take back between 16 and 20 million?

                          thats a lot of salary.....if at least one of them was on a rookie contract you could very possibly get 3 great players....2 very easily....

                          for instance....there are a number of players that might end up signing for the MLE or something close to it....say a stro smith, or shareef or the like....now....think about getting a guy like that along with a joe johnson or the like....the possibilities are much greater supply when u are looking at that many dollars....

                          i love jo....and am in no way advocating trading him.....i think the pacers best chance is that he and ron take this team on their shoulders and i bleive they can take the pacers to multiple titles in the next few years....

                          however if they are unable to come together, and jo feels he simply cant coexist with ron, then i think the likelihood of jo being traded is far greater than ron, IF BIRD IS CONVINCED RON CAN BE DEPENDED UPON, which it seems he might be....

                          and it really comes down to the business side of it.....trade value and bettering the team...and it would appear the opportunity to better the team would be greater trading jo than ron...

                            I wish I could share your optimism. MULTIPLE Titles in the next FEW years. Wow.

                            If Ron and JO can lead the Pacers to just 1 title, they immediately become the 2 best players in franchise HISTORY. They should build statues of them outside of the fieldhouse if they do.

                            Fortaz, I share your love of Ron Artest's game. If Ron is playing with his head on straight, then there's no disputing that he is probably the best player in the NBA for such a small contract, excluding players that are on rookie contracts like Wade, Lebron, and Amare.

                            It's just, I worry too much about Ron Artest blowing up. If he can go all of 05-06 without blowing up, then I will agree that he is a keeper for the long haul.

                            I just want a championship for the Pacers. So much was made about winning 61 games in 03-04. I could care less about 61 games. 51 wins, 61 wins, what's it matter if you can't get to the finals and play for a shot at the title?

                            In 03-04, we can say we won 61 games, Detroit can't say that. But Detroit can say they won the championship, which is all that matters.

                            If and when the Pacers ever win the championship, I will worship the players that led us there.

                              I've talked about this before, but you can believe that Holdscaw beat Ron one-on-one. She took his starting spot away from him on their AAU team.
