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.

    What prospects are hot and not

    http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog...name=nba_draft

    (Chad Ford)
    Who's hot

    John Wall, PG, Freshman, Kentucky


    Wall's biggest weakness? Shooting. So what does he do? Goes 6-for-10 from behind the arc in the tournament. And about those crazy turnovers: He's sporting a 2.5:1 assist-to-turnover ratio so far. What else do you want?


    Wesley Johnson, F, Junior, Syracuse



    Johnson battled injuries in January and February, but he's back to full health now. He just destroyed Gonzaga with 31 points and 14 rebounds in what may have been his best game of the year. If Johnson does this the whole tournament, he'll make a very strong run at the No. 3 pick in the draft.


    Al-Farouq Aminu, F, Sophomore, Wake Forest


    Aminu is known as a terrific athlete. But is he a basketball player? He answered the question in a big way against Texas, doing a little bit of everything to lead Wake Forest to a win. He was less impressive versus Kentucky, and there are still questions about his ability to shoot with any range. But the last impression of Aminu was, largely, a positive one.


    Eric Bledsoe, PG, Freshman, Kentucky


    GMs love Bledsoe's toughness and speed, but they've questioned his offensive abilities. Bledsoe has responded by shooting the lights out his last four games including nailing 8-of-9 3s in the first round. In a draft devoid of point guards, he's making a late charge for the lottery.


    Quincy Pondexter, G/F, Senior, Washington


    Pondexter has had a terrific senior season. However, scouts are always a bit skeptical of seniors having breakout years and are doubly skeptical given the weak competition he faced this season. But Pondexter is now strutting his stuff on the big stage -- proving to Marquette and New Mexico that he's no fluke. Given his NBA body and athleticism, I think his stock is on the rise.


    Elias Harris, F, Freshman, Gonzaga


    Harris wasn't spectacular, but he was solid against two very athletic teams in Florida State and Syracuse and looked as though he belonged. He still needs some work in the skill department, but NBA coaches kill for players with his motor. He probably will stay in school another year, but if he declares, I think he secured himself a first-round pick with this tournament performance.


    Jordan Crawford, G, Sophomore, Xavier


    Crawford's claim to fame was dunking on LeBron James at the Nike Skills Academy this summer. He's had a terrific season for Xavier but has struggled to boost his draft stock, thanks to a number of naysayers who see him as a pretty selfish player. That may be the case, but he's reminding NBA scouts at the tournament that he's also a very talented scorer who can put points on the board in a hurry. Crawford scored 28 against Minnesota and followed with 27 against Pittsburgh. Not only is he terrific attacking the basket, he's also showing off impressive range on his jumper. Of all the players who were stuck in second-round limbo, Crawford has done the most to make his case for a serious look in the first round.


    Durrell Summers, G, Junior, Michigan State


    Some GMs had Summers as a potential lottery pick this summer coming off a big NCAA tournament last year. Summers has been very inconsistent all year but is picking up his game at the right time. He scorched Maryland and got those GMs buzzing again. It's all upside with Summers, but it's a big upside.


    Omar Samhan, C, Senior, St. Mary's


    Samhan was considered a marginal prospect coming into the tournament. Now? How do you argue with a 6-foot-11 big man who dropped 29 points and 12 rebounds on Richmond and then followed it up with 34 and 7 against Villanova. Critics (and there are plenty) will point out that Samhan has no lift and that he's played against two teams that lacked size up front. But whenever you encounter a player with his size and touch in the paint, he's going to get a serious look. Samhan may not have guaranteed himself a draft pick, but he's just booked himself a bunch of NBA workouts. If he can slim down and show a little more explosiveness in workouts, he'll suddenly get very, very popular.


    Jacob Pullen, G, Junior, Kansas State


    Pullen has gotten light interest from scouts all year. He's a 6-1 shooting guard, and there just isn't a lot of interest in guys like that. But his play on both sides of the ball in the tournament has reminded scouts that Pullen might be an Aaron Brooks-type player in the pros. He can really shoot with range and has quick hands. I doubt he'll declare for the draft, but at least he's on the radar.


    Ryan Wittman, F, Senior, Cornell


    Wittman isn't a great athlete, but the guy can really shoot. From anywhere. He can launch it from deep and has a great midrange game. His quick release should allow him to get it off in the pros. Is he that much different from Jason Kapono?



    A mixed bag

    Evan Turner, G, Junior, Ohio State


    Turner's shot hasn't been falling, and he continues to turn the ball over at an alarming rate, but his near triple-double against Georgia Tech reminds us again that he's the most complete player in college basketball.


    Derrick Favors, PF, Freshman, Georgia Tech


    Do us all a favor and get out of Georgia Tech. The way his guards have ignored him all year is criminal. After a solid first game, Favors didn't score until the second half against Ohio State. Is he raw? Sure. But if he had a point guard who could get him the ball, he would dominate.


    Greg Monroe, F/C, Sophomore, Georgetown


    Monroe's numbers were solid against Ohio (19 points, 13 boards, six assists), but those who question Monroe's heartbeat just got more ammunition. He's too content to blend when he needs to carry. Monroe said after the game he's staying at Georgetown for another year. We'll see. His draft stock is as high as it's going to get.


    Darington Hobson, G/F, Junior, New Mexico


    A wrist injury kept Hobson from having the breakout performance he was hoping for. He was solid, but he didn't really make the big impact on either end of the floor that scouts were looking for.


    Jordan Hamilton, F, Freshman, Texas


    What was the difference between Hamilton in the first round and his play over the rest of the season? He hit more of his wild shots than he made. If this were your first time watching him, you'd fall in love. But watch the game film all year. He's every NBA coach's worst nightmare -- a talented player who thinks he's way better than he actually is right now.


    Jimmer Fredette, PG, Junior, BYU


    Fredette's huge game against Florida (37 points) got everyone buzzing. Not only is Fredette a dead-eye shooter, he's a relentless prober who can wiggle his way through the thinnest of seams to get to the basket. His first game had shades of Stephen Curry at Davidson two years ago. But Kansas State slowed him down considerably in the second round. More damning was Fredette's defense, or lack thereof. Some NBA scouts see him as a late first-round pick. I think late second round is more realistic.


    Iman Shumpert, PG, Sophomore, Georgia Tech


    Shumpert has been offensively challenged all year. He's struggled to find his range just about anywhere on the floor. But his defense? Wow. He did a remarkable job on James Anderson and Evan Turner. If he can get it going offensively as a junior, he's got the chance to be a lottery pick in 2011.


    Keith Benson, C, Junior, Oakland


    Benson has been putting up big numbers all year, and the tournament was no exception. He had 28 points and nine rebounds against Pittsburgh and showed off his huge upside. But don't be too fooled. He's a terrible defender and needs to add a lot of strength. Will he get some second-round love? Sure. But if he wants to crack the first round, he needs to head back to school.



    Who hurt themselves

    James Anderson, SG, Junior, Oklahoma State


    After doing so much this season to convince skeptical GMs that he's an NBA player, he was destroyed by Iman Shumpert in the first round. Anderson looked as though he lacked the explosiveness and the ballhandling skills to excel in the league. But don't overreact yet. Anderson has been great against some very athletic backcourts (see Kansas) and this was just one game. James Harden stank up the tournament last year and still went No. 3.


    Sherron Collins, PG, Senior, Kansas


    Collins was terrible when Kansas needed him most. After bailing out the Jayhawks in numerous late-game situations during the season, Collins just couldn't get it done against Northern Iowa. He was pressing, taking bad shots and turning the ball over way too much. Collins almost redeemed himself in the closing seconds of the game, but Kansas fell short, and it's going to hurt him. I was joking when I said via Twitter that I'd drop him 50 spots on the Big Board. But, I think it's safe to say that any dreams Collins had of cracking the first round may have just shattered.


    Damion James, F, Senior, Texas


    James had a great senior season but went out with a whimper in the tournament. Why does one bad game hurt a guy who's been consistently good all season? Because scouts have wanted to see him matched up against a long, athletic forward like Al-Farouq Aminu. That's the type of guy he'll be playing against every night in the NBA. The result? Aminu looked like a lottery pick. James? Not so much.


    Scottie Reynolds, PG, Senior, Villanova


    Reynolds spent much of his senior year trying to prove to NBA scouts that, despite his lack of athleticism, he could be a good pro. That dream came apart in the tournament after Reynolds shot a horrific 4-for-26 from the field against Robert Morris and Saint Mary's. He forced everything and looked nothing like the player who led Villanova deep last year. These two performances could be the final nail in the coffin for Reynolds' draft stock.


    Luke Harangody, PF, Senior, Notre Dame


    For a guy who has been a consistent beast on the offensive end of the floor, watching Harangody score just four points against Old Dominion in the first round was a bit of a shock. He came into the season hopeful that he could convince NBA scouts that he's a first-round pick. He ends the season praying he gets drafted, period.

    Re: What prospects are hot and not

    Good article by Ford, though it's not as if anyone on his "not hot" list was really that great of an NBA prospect to begin with. Otherwise it's pretty straightforward and he doesn't say anything too outlandish (by his standards anyways).

        Re: What prospects are hot and not

        Jordan Crawford would be a great Pacers addition. He reminds me of what we all hoped Brandon Rush would be - the SG of the future. He has that killer instinct a lot like Granger and he's actually better off the dribble and has more range on his jumper than Danny had coming out of college.

          Yeah, but it does have a lot of his "hey, I just started watching kids when this tourney thing got going" angle.

          Collins started hurting his draft stock about 5 months ago when the NCAA season started, just for an example.

          And this...
          But Pondexter is now strutting his stuff on the big stage -- proving to Marquette and New Mexico that he's no fluke.
          Errr...not bad teams but not prospect benchmark matchups. I think his outing against West Virginia and their slew of talented defensive wings was a better indicator of his impact level.

          If he had fared well there I would have been impressed. Nice kid, early 2nd round perhaps, mostly there because he worked on his jumper so much. He typically does not stand out as an ultra-quick or explosive player (see Bledsoe, Aminu, Robinson, Wes Johnson...).

          What some of these guys forget is that to really make it you've got to destroy people at times. Maybe your teammates let you down (see Turner or Lawal/Favors or Aminu or Robinson) but you better at least have moments where you are doing more than just making a "nice play". You've got to make people's jaws drop from time to time.

          Otherwise you won't have enough in a league where every player can surprise you, even the duds.


          BTW, my rule of thumb for prospects in the tourney - if you weren't drooling before the tourney then don't change your mind now. The only thing I use the tourney for is a gut check on already well regarded prospects, looking to see which top guys raise their game and which guys might lack that extra fire or clutch play.

          Plenty of non-prospects find these brief runs of inspirational play to carry their team farther. Just look at the roster of every final 4 team ever and find 1 or 2 guys per team that didn't make it in the NBA but had a great tourney. Pretty easy to do.

          Ford's got a whole list of high risks, guys who no one cared about till 2 weeks ago, and don't think scouts weren't at the occasional Kansas St, Xavier or Gonzaga game months ago. I mean Nevada has 2 well-regarded prospects and they certainly aren't a big name, national TV school.

            Baylor has the most athletic NBA ready players I have seen on a team this year. We could get a huge steal with one of their guards in the second round especially Dunn.

              Jordan Crawford is one of the most selfish players I've layed eyes on. I would not want him at the cost of a first round pick

              He did real well last night, against the type of guys that he would be seeing in the nba nightly...

                Depsite the loss, I think it's unfair to put Turner in the "mixed bag" slot.

                I had repeated this a few times, it hurts the player and it hurts the team to make a non point guard play point. Ohio State did just that, and Turner struggled with point guard duties because of it. (not with his game, with PG duties) play him at SG or SF and he's no longer a "mixed bag"

                  I smell a bitter IU fan. Sure he shoots a lot but he has that killer instinct you can't teach, not to mention the scoring ability to back it up. Is that such a bad thing? Also, he's only a sophomore, I doubt he'll leave this year considering Xavier has everybody back expect one player next year. He might be worth a 1st round pick in a year or two.

Also, he's only a sophomore, I doubt he'll leave this year considering Xavier has everybody back expect one player next year. He might be worth a 1st round pick in a year or two.
                    How can I be bitter that we go TOM CREAN!!!!

                          On WVU, that Joe Mazzulla kid whom is a relative unknown , is playing like an All American with massive heart in this kentucky game... lol

                          He is just scoring and doin all the right things for WVU in this big game ..

                          What's crazy , is his point avg is only like 2.2 per game lol


                          .
                          West Virginia is totally dismantling Kentucky in this game


                          11:53 left in the 2nd half
                          and the score is 47-36


                          Unless Kentucky can pull something deep out their a** , It is looking like they are gonna get put out the tourney this game with as good as WVU has been playing them thus far.. It looks like they have KY's number tonight ..

                          ...

                            I think he just passed his season high (8)

                            and I might be a John Wall jinx. Everytime I watch the kid he gets outplayed by the opposing PG. I know he's supposed to be amazing, I'd like to see it.
