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.

  • Where might Chris Paul Go? One can dream right?

    http://www.hoopsworld.com/lets-trade-chris-paul/


    First of all, lockout denial is required to continue (given the recent breakdown in talks) but assume the 2011/12 NBA Season still happens. Once the NBA resumes, the New Orleans Hornets will find themselves in a very difficult position.

    With All-Star forward David West hitting free agency this summer and superstar point guard Chris Paul a free agent next July (assuming he opts out), the Hornets have to decide very quickly if and how to rebuild.

    As detailed last month (Solving Problems: The Post-Chris Paul Hornets?), it isn’t worth it to keep West if Paul is going to leave in a year’s time.

    If they don’t keep West, what are their odds at keeping Paul? That’s quite a Catch-22.

    Additionally the Hornets are owned by the NBA itself (looking for a buyer). How much authority does General Manager Dell Demps have to make sweeping changes?

    If Paul is dealt, there are going to be some cries of “unfair,” regardless of where he lands.

    Couple that with the lockout that has already delayed and may cancel the season, when and how will the Hornets set themselves up for the future? Paul may have already played his final game for the Hornets.

    Another wrinkle to consider – unless Paul approves of his destination and is willing to extend his contract, suitors with otherwise viable packages may withdraw from consideration.

    Chris is in high demand and enough teams are harvesting cap room to try and sign him outright in 2012. If the NBA will allow an overhaul, Demps may be able to set the Hornets up for a nice future.

    Everyone Available

    The Hornets have four primary rotation players in free agency this summer in Carl Landry, Marco Belinelli (restricted), Willie Green and West. Also on the market are Jason Smith and Aaron Gray.

    The only young prospect on the team of note would be Quincy Pondexter. David Andersen’s $2.7 million has a tiny guarantee and may not be invited back.

    That leaves just three veterans with Emeka Okafor at $40.5 million over the next three seasons, Trevor Ariza at $21.8 million (also three years) and Jarrett Jack with $10.4 million over two.

    The Hornets gave the Los Angeles Lakers a hard time in the first round of the playoffs (six-game series) but with West injured (knee), the run was made almost entirely on the back of Paul who averaged 22 points and 11.5 assists.

    If Chris is headed out, the Hornets may want to consider moving Okafor and/or Ariza along with him, especially if the return is youth-oriented. If New Orleans moves Paul for more established players, they’d need to retain enough personnel to field a team for the incoming talent.

    Should the Hornets go for the complete and total youth movement or do they try to bridge the gap with a higher volume of experienced, quality pieces?

    Deron Williams/Dwight Howard Unlikely

    Paul, Howard and Williams are the big three free agents in 2012 (all with opt-outs).

    Paul for Williams would near equal value for both teams. Howard would be a tremendous haul.

    Unfortunately the Hornets aren’t going to have enough on paper to entice Williams or Howard to sign a long-term deal. The market in New Orleans isn’t big enough. The team isn’t close enough to a title.

    If the Nets or Magic were faced with losing their star, they’d certainly welcome Paul but the hard part is getting Williams or Howard to buy in.

    Los Angeles Lakers Send Andrew Bynum to the New Orleans Hornets for Chris Paul

    The Lakers weakest position is point guard. Derek Fisher is nearing the end. Steve Blake hasn’t panned as out as hoped and second-round pick Darius Morris has yet to play in an NBA game.

    LA needs to start thinking about star power beyond Kobe Bryant and Paul might make a ton of sense for the Lakers.

    Bynum is their “center of the future” but with Paul, the team would do fine with Pau Gasol at the five next to Lamar Odom.

    If the Hornets want to get out of Okafor’s deal, given that he may not be the ideal fit next to Bynum, perhaps a bigger deal can be constructed with Emeka to the Lakers for Odom (if New Orleans is looking to clean house, maybe even Ariza back to Los Angeles in an even larger swap). They might also involve a third team, like the Atlanta Hawks, who are looking for a center.

    Interesting for New Orleans is that Bynum’s $16.1 million salary in 2012 is a team option and Odom’s is guaranteed just $2.4 million.

    Not that it’d be Plan A for the Hornets but a Laker deal could drop New Orleans’ overall salary to near zero salary after this coming season (except for Jack at $5.4 million).

    The key is Bynum staying healthy. The Hornets wouldn’t be making a play for Andrew just to let him go the following year.

    Given the issues Bynum has had with his knees, he’s not a sure thing . . . but then Paul has had his share of knee problems as well.

    LA has historically built around a center (Shaquille O’Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain and George Mikan) but arguably the most popular Laker of all time was a point guard, Magic Johnson.

    It’d be a bold move for both teams.

    The Oklahoma City Thunder Send Russell Westbrook, Nate Robinson and Nazr Mohammed to the New Orleans Hornets for Chris Paul

    Westbrook is one of the league’s most exciting young point guards. Would the Thunder give him up for Paul?

    The answer may not be so obvious given some of the chemistry concerns between Thunder star Kevin Durant and Westbrook.

    If OK City retains some unspoken concerns (publicly) about Westbrook, Paul would fill the position with greater maturity and a more natural willingness to set up his teammates.

    Durant is one of the most potent scorers in the league. Chris would arguably be a better fit than Westbrook, who is going into the final year of his contract and will be eligible for a long-term extension starting in 2012.

    Russell would be a tremendous get for the Hornets.

    Because of his age, Westbrook would probably be the better piece than Paul for the Thunder but only if the team is convinced he has a long, successful future ahead of him alongside Durant.

    Robinson and Mohammed have expiring contracts to facilitate the numbers, although the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) may significantly change the rules. Until there’s labor peace, that’s what there is to work with.

    The Los Angeles Clippers Send Chris Kaman, Eric Bledsoe and the Minnesota 2012 First-Round Pick (Unprotected) for Chris Paul

    Bynum and Westbrook may not be available, assuming the Hornets have interest. The Clippers have a number of assets to offer should they make a run at Paul.

    Kaman is going into the final year of his deal and he has, when healthy, proven to be an All-Star. Still, the Hornets primary goal here would be making a move for the future.

    Bledsoe made the All-Rookie Second Team. He’s not the elite point guard that Paul is but he’s talented and athletic.

    The Minnesota pick could prove to be the top selection in what is expected to be a very strong draft, especially at the top with players like Anthony Davis, Harrison Barnes, Andre Drummond, Jared Sullinger, Michael Gilchrest, Jeremy Lamb, Austin Rivers and the like.

    The Clippers may not want to give up both Bledsoe and the pick but if faced with the true possibility of landing Paul, can they say no to that (if Paul is open to extending long term)?

    Other LA pieces might be able to offer in different combinations include second-year forward Al-Farouq Aminu, Randy Foye and Mo Williams. Blake Griffin and Eric Gordon are thought to be essentially untouchable for the Clippers. The team also intends to retain center DeAndre Jordan.

    Perhaps the Clippers would be willing to take back Trevor Ariza to fill their gap at small forward although Ariza may be too streaky a shooter for their taste.

    The Philadelphia 76ers Send Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner and Andres Nocioni to the New Orleans Hornets for Chris Paul

    The Sixers have shopped Andre Iguodala but if they, instead, opt to build around Elton Brand, Iguodala and Paul, they’d have a viable package if they’re willing to give up two developing kids like Holiday and Turner.

    But would they?

    Holiday is a talented player and is highly regarded by the franchise. The notion of dealing Iguodala was to open up room for Turner to succeed (not to mention that Andre has a sizable contract left at $44.2 million over three years).

    Nocioni is salary ballast (he has two years but the second isn’t guaranteed).

    The Sixers were just officially sold so management/ownership changes may mean some of the team’s initial thoughts regarding Iguodala, Holiday, etc. may no longer be relevant.

    If the Hornets get serious about moving Paul, at the very least Demps needs to have some lengthy discussions with the 76ers.

    The Golden State Warriors Send Monta Ellis and Charlie Bell to the New Orleans Hornets for Chris Paul

    Ellis is one of the top scorers in the league from the guard position. He’s locked in for three more years at $11 million each (although he has an early termination option on the final season).

    The Hornets would still need to add talent and depth but they’d still be able to put up points with Monta on the roster.

    Bell would be filler.

    Of course Paul doesn’t solve the Warriors’ problem of a slight backcourt given that Ellis is taller than Paul. As it is, the diminutive Monta/Stephen Curry duo may continue to be an issue for Golden State.

    Ellis is a two-guard so the Hornets would still need to acquire a point guard, unless they are confident that Monta can initiate their offense.

    Indiana Pacers Send Darren Collison, Brandon Rush, James Posey and Draft Considerations to the New Orleans Hornets for Chris Paul

    The Hornets already chose between Paul and Collison, sending Darren to the Sixers. If Chris is on his way out the door, would they have seller’s remorse?

    The Pacers have enough cap room to reunite Paul with David West and still possibly add on a shooting guard like Jason Richardson or Jamal Crawford.

    Would Paul be open to an extension in Indiana to play with Danny Granger, Roy Hibbert, Tyler Hansbrough and possibly, West, etc.?

    Is that enough for the Hornets? That might depend on exactly what “draft considerations” would work out to be.

    The Utah Jazz Send Devin Harris and Paul Millsap to the New Orleans Hornets for Chris Paul

    The Jazz may eventually send out either Paul Millsap or Al Jefferson, although that may depend first on the development of young players Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter.

    Millsap might be the better fit alongside Okafor, although that’s subjective. Devin Harris is no Chris Paul but he’s a solid point guard.

    Would Chris sign an extension in Utah?

    Other Options

    The Hornets would have plenty more options to explore than the ones listed above.

    The Memphis Grizzlies have Rudy Gay, Mike Conley, O.J. Mayo and Darrell Arthur. The right package might appeal to the Hornets.

    The Portland Trail Blazers may have enough to intrigue New Orleans with players like Raymond Felton, Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum and even Brandon Roy (although his contract might be prohibitive).

    The Houston Rockets have one of the most underrated point guards in the league in Kyle Lowry. Also, pieces like Courtney Lee, Chase Budinger, Jonny Flynn, Goran Dragic and rookie Marcus Morris may appeal to the Sixers if the return is lucrative enough.

    Paul might have concerns about the state of the Minnesota Timberwolves but they certainly have pieces to offer like Derrick Williams, Wesley Johnson, Michael Beasley, Luke Ridnour, Anthony Randolph and the like.

    The Sacramento Kings have plenty of youth in players like Jimmer Fredette, Tyreke Evans, Jason Thompson and others. Given the Kings’ recent struggles on the court and off (arena issues) would probably turn off Paul.

    The Orlando Magic have players like Jameer Nelson, J.J. Redick and Brandon Bass who might appeal to the Hornets as far as returning solid, veteran depth. Paul might not mind teaming up with Howard in Orlando.

    The Denver Nuggets seem committed to Ty Lawson and Danilo Gallinari but they’re both interesting pieces. The Atlanta Hawks have high-level pieces like Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Al Horford and even the younger Jeff Teague.

    The New York Knicks, who clearly have interest in Paul, may not have enough with Chauncey Billups but would a large package of young talent be appeal to the Hornets (Iman Shumpert, Landry Fields and Toney Douglas)?

    If the lockout ends in a timely fashion, the Hornets may find they have a multitude of appealing offers to sift through for their superstar point guard.

    It will be interesting to see exactly where Paul ends up, either via trade or 2012 free agency . . .
    Sittin on top of the world!

    Re: Where might Chris Paul Go? One can dream right?

    theres no way the Hornets trade CP3 to Indy without Granger involved.

    They can get better offers else where.

    If CP3 is a free agent, he'll most likely end up in NY or LA

        I have a feeling he will end up in New York. That's where I'd want to go if I were him. The Big City and two other super stars. That team could easily get to the Finals.

        I don't think he'll stay in New Orleans. They can't seem to build a team that is a serious threat in the West.

        This all assumes the NBA will actually comeback someday....

          If Paul goes to NY, then I might go mad with these super power teams. Enough of that crap already.
          First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.

            I think the new cba can be structured to all but stop the creation of future super teams but it may not be soon enough to stop CP from going to New York if it's grandfathered in over a # of years.
            NY only has 3 players under contract next year for a total of 41 mil. They have room to sign CP and fill in the rest of their roster with min. contract players but only if the system allows for expections to go over the cap by filling out the rest of the roster. Melo, Amare, CP and 11 min. contract players would add up to approx. 70 million which should be over the LT cap, and would be far over the soft cap if it stays in the 58 mil range.
            I think that CP will end up in NY if the money is close to what he could get in N.O. The big question mark will be if the semi franchise tag is implented along with the end of sign and trades. CP could be looking at a 5 year $108 million contract with N.O. vs a 4 year $65 million contract with N.O. if this happens. That's a big difference from what Melo, Amare, and Lebron had to face.
            Why do teams tank? Ask a Spurs fan.

                If that's all it took to get Paul, then you do that 100 times out of 100 and laugh all the way to the playoffs.

                Doubt Howard comes here though, but getting Paul would definitely bring people to games.
                First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.

                  Then, sign Howard outright:

                  C - Hibbert
                  PF - Howard
                  SF - Granger
                  SG - George
                  PG - Paul

                  Game over, NBA.

                            If CP3 is a free agent, he'll most likely end up in NY or LA
                            Does NY have anything else to give. I seriously doubt they can build a big 3 just due to the lack of assets they have now.

                            LA may be a different story but I would have to believe that the Hornets would want a pg in return if they are not sold on Jack. Boston doesn't work out as a trading partner either so that lives maybe the Mavs IMO.
