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.

  • Since 1990, who has the Pacers drafted that is worth a d***

    I can only count AD, DD, and Danny Granger as anyone who did anything. Brezec actually turned out to be an ok player for the Bobcats...but seriously! This team hasnt drafted anyone that is a difference maker in the last 16 years. I will admit our picks were on avg in the lat teens to 20s. But, there is always teams find great talent later in the first round...but not the Pacers

      Malik Sealy was a good player who lost his life to a drunk driver.

      We traded him to get Mark Jackson, I think, so that was not a bad pick at all.

      After 10 years Austin is still around, so he's not awful. Al too.

      Overall I am sure that many years there were better players on the board, but also quite often there was no one to pick who would not have also been a bust.
      The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).

        Any that have made impacts? I will say Danny has the best chance, but sometimes I wonder about his game.

        Fred did have some good years in Minny, but not for Indy. Travis was always a great backup I thought.

        Dampier had one good seaon before his BIG CONTRACT, after that...ugh. Not in INDY

        Al, well....I dont really know. He just never seemed to make the impact everyone thought. I think we would of still had Al if RC wasnt the coach. Same goes for Ron.
        Both Davis boys were very good draft picks....but I am talking about that impact player. The lasy IMPACT player we had was Reggie. And that was how many years ago?

        The Indiana Pacers NEED a new face. Someone that is the FACE of the Pacers. And I do believe they will have to get rid of JO and JT before we are 100% away from the brawl.

          A lot of those picks were late first rounders and second rounders, where talent is hard to find. Look at the list and you'll find no pick better than 10th in the first round.

          James Jones was quite a find in the second round. Fred Jones was good.

          If we were Atlanta, I would be going nuts over their choices over the years.

          And to get technical, Antonio Davis was drafted, released, then signed from Europe as a FA.

            Malik Sealy was solid. He's underrated because he died young.

              Agreed. And we had bad luck with injuries with Haskin and Bender.

                As an experiment, I'm going to paste all the players taken immediately after us in the first round since 1990:

                1991: Rich King (C)
                1992: Anthony Peeler (SG)
                1993: Doug Edwards (SF)
                1994: Clifford Rozier (PF)
                1995: Loren Meyer (PF)
                1996: Todd Fuller (C)
                1997: Derek Anderson (SG)
                1998: Sam Jacobson (SG)
                1999: Jumaine Jones (SF)
                2000: Erick Barkley (PG)
                2001: Boštjan Nachbar (SF)
                2004: Anderson Varejão (PF)
                2005: Gerald Green (G/F)
                2006: Oleksiy Pecherov (PF)


                Is that better than what we got?

                  Besides Varejao, we got way better value than the pick after us, no questions asked.

                  And Bambam, I think your definition of a "impact player" is what most of us here at PD would call a "star", and you're not going to find too many of those first option caliber guys at 15 or so in the draft.

                  The only year we really blew it was the Bender year.

                    We retained the right to Antonio Davis while he was in Europe.

                    He was not a free agent signing.

                      1991
                      Hard to argue with Dale Davis at 13 in that draft.
                      1992
                      Sealy @ 14 while Doug Christie(17), Jon Barry (21)& Latrell Spreewell (24) were still on the board. Death or no death those players were better from the get go.
                      1993
                      Haskin @ 14 while Ervin Johnson, Sam Cassell & Chris Mills were on the board. That was head scratcher at the time, remember.
                      1994
                      Piatkowski was picked for the Clippers. Who was then coupled with the '92 1st rounder Sealy & Pooh Richardson ( that cost the Pacers former 4th pick The Rifleman & starting PG Michael Williams) for the original Jacko.
                      1995
                      Hard to argue w/ Best @ 23
                      1996
                      Dampier while Potapenko, Kobe, Peja, Nash, JO & Big Z were still on the board hard to argue that one.
                      1997
                      Crosh @ 12 over Derek Anderson, Maurice Taylor, Kelvin Cato & Brevin Knight
                      1998
                      Al @ 25 good job
                      1999
                      Cummingswas picked for the Warriors so we could have Jeff at the additional expense of our '01 1st rounder that ironically turned out to be Troy Murphy
                      2000
                      Brezec 27 no real players after that. I'm not including guys like Redd everybody passed on him and that was 20 some picks later.
                      2001
                      See 1999 & 2003
                      2002
                      Freddie @ 14 while Juan Dixon, Kareem Rush & Tayshaun Prince went elsewhere
                      2003
                      See Jamaal Tinsley
                      2004
                      David Harrison @ 29 gets a pass by most but not me since Varejao went next and Duhon went 7 later.

                      I'll stop there since nobody wants to hear how they passed up some pretty good point guards to get both Danny & Shawne.
                      I'm in these bands

                        1992: Anthony Peeler (SG)
                        1993: Doug Edwards (SF)
                        1994: Clifford Rozier (PF)
                        1995: Loren Meyer (PF)
                        1996: Todd Fuller (C)
                        1997: Derek Anderson (SG)
                        1998: Sam Jacobson (SG)
                        1999: Jumaine Jones (SF)
                        2000: Erick Barkley (PG)
                        2001: Boštjan Nachbar (SF)
                        2004: Anderson Varejão (PF)
                        2005: Gerald Green (G/F)
                        2006: Oleksiy Pecherov (PF)


                        Is that better than what we got?

                        Touche, FlavaDave! Very clever way to answer the question. Dr. Goldfoot goes a little deeper and shows that the Pacers haven't always gotten the best players that were available. But we know more about the players now than even the best scouts knew before their NBA careers began.

                        It's a crap shoot, folks! And most of the time, you get crap.

                            Have to say we could of gotten better here.

                            In 2002 the Pacers could of had
                            Tayshaun Prince...instead of Jones. But if I remember right that was Thomas choice at that time...and look what he has done to the CBA and NYK.

                            I also forgot about JT...who we didnt draft, was part of a trade that we got via Atlanta and Memphis.

                            We lost last years first round pick for Al who we only had for about 4 months.

                              Yes but to be fair the Pacers didn't even want a first round pick that year, but couldn't find anything to exchange for it, and Cummings was never intended to be a part of the equation. We were stacked that year and should have beaten Orlando in the ECF.

                              This is mentioned near the beginning of Reggie's book, which is my source for what I just said.
