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.

  • Why it's so absurd to think Deron Williams will end up in Dallas

    (hint: he's not)

    http://www.hoopsworld.com/what-must-...deron-williams

    Perhaps the hottest storyline heading into 2012 NBA free agency is where will New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams go? The supposed early leader for his services is the Dallas Mavericks, but the problem is a lot of things must happen first because the move from Jersey to Dallas is not straightforward.

    First off, will Williams be a free agent? He has indicated he will decline to invoke his $17.8 million Player Option and become an unrestricted free agent. Williams has not ruled out a return to the Nets, who can still offer him higher annual raises plus an extra year in a new contract. There are other teams, like Portland and New Orleans, who will be in the market for a starting point guard this summer and have maximum money to offer.

    Dallas, on the other hand, does not.

    The Mavericks currently sit at $53.4 million in contracts on the books to eight players for 2012-13. The cap will be at minimum the same as this year – $58.044 million. The new collective bargaining agreement matched the 2011-12 and 2012-13 caps to the 2010-11 version. The cap could go up for 2012-13 if Basketball Related Income justifies it, but in a shortened season due to the lockout that’s very, very unlikely. All that means is the Mavs don’t have cap space without doing some other things first.If they do nothing, they will only have the Mid-Level Exception to offer Williams or any other free agent.

    Dallas may or may not have a first-round pick this year. They traded their pick to the Los Angeles Lakers for Lamar Odom back in December and that pick moved on to the Houston Rockets at the trade deadline in the Derek Fisher deal. However, it’s top-20 protected through 2017, meaning if Dallas doesn’t have one of the 10 best records in the NBA this year, they keep the pick. Heading into Friday’s games they sat at 11th, just several percentage points behind the Memphis Grizzlies. If the Mavericks do keep that pick and it ends up 20th overall in the 2012 NBA Draft, a cap hold of $1.1 million would be placed upon them. As far as second-round picks go, Dallas owns the Lakers’ pick from the Odom trade. Their own pick is in Washington, and they also have rights to Minnesota’s and Washington’s but both are top-55 protected (meaning Dallas will never see them). The second-round pick will place a cap hold on the Mavericks equal to the minimum salary for a rookie, which will be $473,604. (This is the same cap hold added for each open roster spot under 13.)

    By waiving Lamar Odom, Vince Carter and Brandan Wright the Mavericks could reduce the amount owed to them to only $4.4 million, down from the $12.2 million they are on the books for. Odom’s contract is guaranteed for only $2.4 million of $8.2 million for 2012-13 if he is waived by June 30, 2012. Vince Carter’s is only guaranteed for $2.0 million of $3.1 million if waived by the same date (and $2.0 million of $3.3 million in 2013-14). Wright’s $0.9 million is fully non-guaranteed. If Carter is not waived by June 30th, both seasons left on his contract become guaranteed.

    That’s not all. The Mavericks also have $33.2 million in cap holds that will count against them until they either renounce their rights to the player or the player signs with another team. Click this link to see the full list, but the ones that stand out are the $12.9 million cap hold on Jason Kidd and $16.0 million on Jason Terry.

    Whew.

    If the Mavericks want to go after Deron Williams, they need to go all-in and clear as much space as they can. Technically the Nets could do a sign-and-trade with Williams to Dallas, but the fact of the matter is the Mavericks, outside of Roddy Beaubois, probably don’t have too much of interest to Jersey. The Nets would probably be more interested in doing a sign-and-trade (and giving Williams his higher raise and another year Note: New CBA limits sign-and-trades to four years and 4.5% raises) if the Mavs clear the cap space anyway, doing the deal simply for draft picks and a Traded Player Exception (if it were to come to that).

    For this, let’s assume the Mavericks don’t keep their first-round pick this year and waive Odom, Carter and Wright to maximize their cap space. Let’s also assume they renounce their rights to all their free agents, including Kidd and Terry. Where does that put them? It only moves them down to $45.6 million in commitments to five players. Add eight minimum salary cap holds (totaling $3.8 million) and the Mavs will be sitting at $49.4 million. That’s only $8.9 million in cap space. Williams, a three-time All-Star with career averages of 17.6 points, 9.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game, will cost more than that. More as in max money, which means a deal starting at $16.3 million per season (again, assuming the cap does not go up for 2012-13).

    Yes, Williams could sign for less than max money, but he won’t sign for less than half his market value. With Portland gleefully waiving a max deal, Williams would have to really, really want to go to Dallas to choose them instead. Frankly, history says that doesn’t happen very often at all, and definitely not to that extent.

    The Mavs have one more thing they will have to do in order to clear enough cap space to sign Deron Williams and that’s use their Amnesty Provision. Only three players match the profile of how much the Mavs would have to clear: Dirk Nowitzki ($20.9 million), Shawn Marion ($8.4 million) and Brendan Haywood ($8.3 million). No, it’s not going to be Dirk; that leaves Marion or Haywood. Both are starters and primarily defensive players, so how do you choose which one gets cut? Haywood is a year younger, but his contract runs two years longer than Marion’s (through 2015-16 as opposed to through 2013-14), meaning that’s a larger check owner Mark Cuban has to write immediately (by about $9.8 million – the last season of his deal is not guaranteed if waived by 8/1/15).

    Do they choose to amnesty their center and hope they can find serviceable big men to play defense and rebound in the middle? Or do they decide their small forward is easier to replace? For this exercise let’s say they choose Haywood. That replaces his $8.3 million with another minimum salary cap hold, putting them at $37.2 million in commitments plus $4.3 million in cap holds, leaving them at $41.5 million.

    Voila! Enough cap room to sign Williams to a maximum contract.

    But now how do the Mavericks fill out their roster? They have Nowitzki, Williams and Marion, plus two rookie scale deals to Dominique Jones and Roddy Beaubois. They will have about $2 million in cap space (if Williams were to sign for less than the max, the difference would be added to this $2 million to be used for other free agents), then when they use that up they will have the $2.5 million “room exception.” The room exception is new with the latest CBA and gives teams who maximize their cap space and then spend it all a little something extra to help fill out their roster.

    With those two chunks of change, the Mavs will need to find a starting center, a backup center, a backup power forward, another guard and a backup small forward, plus a couple other players to fill out the bench. Unfortunately there really aren’t a lot of options at center. The top centers in the free agent class – Brook Lopez, Roy Hibbert, Chris Kaman, JaVale McGee – will cost much more than the Mavericks can afford. Could they entice Marcus Camby for that price? Nazr Mohammed? Kwame Brown? Aaron Gray? Unfortunately, that’s the caliber of player they will be able to afford.

    This begs the question: Is it worth it? Is ripping the team down to the studs – metaphorically – worth it in order to sign Williams? With Nowitzki’s $20.9 million salary, the Mavericks are limited in what they are going to be able to do to fill out the roster. Is a team built around Williams, Nowitzki, Marion, Beaubois and Jones a good team in the Western Conference? Or will it become stuck in mediocrity, unable to surround the two stars with a good enough supporting cast to once again become a contender?

    Those are questions the Dallas Mavericks’ management structure must answer for themselves before they commit to going down this path.

    If I was Dallas it would be worth it, it's not like they are going anywhere with the current roster, if you can get Deron, you do it, damn the costs...
    Did you know Antonio and Dale aren’t actually brothers?

      Re: Why it's so absurd to think Deron Williams will end up in Dallas

      wow, that was a whole lot of writing to say absolutely nothing at all...

      I loved the part where the writer called brendan Haywood "a defensive center," and questioned why dallas would ever consider cutting him loose....

      Basically, the writer thinks that Dallas won't want to jettison everyone on their team besides dirk, marion and boubois to get Deron Williams.

      You know, because Miami didn't do this exact same thing with their roster 2 years ago....

      This is a really absurd article. You could build a good team around Dirk and Deron with minimal effort.

        And remember that Dallas got Tyson Chandler for peanuts before last season. Strong starters and role players aren't difficult to get in this league, it's the superstars that are a rarity. If you can get two superstars on a team then filling the gaps isn't difficult to do especially with a smart front office like Dallas.

          Hmmm. His mom sure thinks he is going to be here next year. Do not quote me as a source but its been said time and time again here that her baby is coming home.

          The Colony is not a large town and my wife's family lives there and grew up there. I live about 10 minutes and its believed to be pretty common knowledge that he wants to be home and wants to play for Dallas.

          I don't usually go out on a limb with these types of posts but mark my words he will be in a mavericks uniform next year. Cuban will spend, end of story.

            I have been expecting the Mavs to get him since Howard was an idiot and stayed with Orlando. The Mavs are the type of team (eh hem Miami, New York, LAC) to gut their roster for a player. Cuban will spend no matter what. He'll be in Dallas, although I hope he goes to Portland or here.

              It is okay for Dallas to blow up the roster just to get Deron. With Dirk and Deron, the Mavs can attract veteran role-players to get championships. I wouldn't be surprised to see some well-known veterans accepting salaries way below expected just to join forces with that team.

                Re: Why it's so absurd to think Deron Williams will end up in Dallas

                I didn't think it was that likely that he would sign with Dallas but after reading this, I think it's pretty much a lock.

                In fact, I think it's the main reason they decided not to re-sign Tyson Chandler and JJ Berea. Between Shawn Marion and Haywood, I think they'll use the Amnesty on Marion because it's a lot easier to get a defensive SF than a Center and Marion only has the one year remaining. Plus Marion is basically washed up anyway.

                Oh well. The Pacers will still have a shot at Steve Nash and it'll cost them less money too.

                  At first glance I thought it was a bit extreme for Dallas to blow up most of the roster to get him, but when I considered the age of that deep veteran roster, it actually makes a lot of sense (assuming Dirk doesn't drop off from older age too quickly to enjoy this new era with Williams).

                    That is exactly the reason they didn't resign their guys which is sort of stupid IMO. They won the championship with a complete roster and now they will be like the Knicks. Good but I can't see them winning a championship with 2 stars and nobody else. Sooner or later Dirk will decline as well and then what.

                      Your guess is as good as mine. That doesn't mean that it's any less likely he chooses Dallas over anyone else.

                      I want Deron Williams on the Pacers. I'm sure the Pacers will make a run at him too. I just realize that Dallas is in the driver's seat.

                        I want Deron Williams on the Pacers. I'm sure the Pacers will make a run at him too. I just realize that Dallas is in the driver's seat.
                        I agree! After reading this thread I think he goes to Dallas. I think his second choice will be to remain with the Nets. However, I think if he wants to contend immediately he will give the Pacers a lot of consideration.

                        If he stays with the Nets, contending will be a few years off. Dallas will have to reload. Portland would be a viable choice except they have no center. To me that leaves the Pacers as the best option if he wants to contend right away.

                        However, from what I've read his mother is saying, I think he's going home. Of course that doesn't mean Williams wants to deal with his family all the time, so I think we could be an option.

                          I think Dallas would have to show him a good plan. Cuz they would basically have a gutted roster, and would be starting completely fresh. If perhaps they could jettison either Marion or Haywood for a first round pick instead of amnestieing them, they may have a shot to build while filling in with veterans.

                          But D-Will publicly doesn't seem to mind where he is as long as the team is winning. If the Mavericks can convince him they can build a completely new roster from the ground up and win, they can probably get him. He just doesn't have his "list of preferred destinations" superstars tend to have these days, at least not publicly.
                          Time for a new sig.

                            So what's going to happen to the Nets after he leaves? they are going to get screwed big time.

                              Jay-Z will be the starting PF to help fill the seats and pay for the stadium.
                              I know "Sleeze" is spelled incorrectly. I spell it this way because it's based on a name.
