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.

      Peyton played like crap the in the playoffs in large his whole time here. He wasn't even the most valuable player for us the year we won the SB, Bob Sanders was.

      Against Baltimore, he was 15-30 for 170 yards and 2 picks, we scored 15 points. Against KC he threw for 268 yards, but he had 3 picks. That's 5 picks in the first 2 games and we still won somehow, but not because of him. Not to mention in the pats game he stunk it up in the first half as well and dug us a huge hole.

      i appreciate what Manning has done for Indy, but he didn't do it all himself.

        The picks in the Baltimore game were basically as good as punts, IIRC. He managed that game just fine.

          In case you missed it, Peyton WAS the MVP that year and Sanders was not.... If not for Peyton, they may not have made the playoffs in any year and certainly not year after year like they did..... The rest of the NFL knows what the Colts had in Peyton. That is why the evil genius did not punt on fourth and two but went for it. He knew his defense would not stop Peyton from scoring after the punt. That is why teams (other than Indy) were willing to take a risk on Peyton this year. John Elway is being greatly repaid for that decision. We will see how it turns out with Irsay and the Colts. It looks great so far but that can chance very quickly.....

            No. He was the one responsible for the city even being interested in negotiating...... What Irsay did was basically the same thing the baseball Marlins have done this week. He got a new stadium paid for by the state and the city and then he dumped his star QB and many of the players responsible for winning for so many years putting millions in his own pocket. Colts fans will eventually pay the price for this if not this year then in the coming years...... What exactly did Irsay do to enhance all of that in 1997, oh, right, he drafted Peyton Manning........

              I definitely agree with all of that. He's a top 5 all time QB. I wasn't criticizing the Baltimore interceptions in the playoff game six years ago. I said that they were basically just like punts, IE they didn't hurt the Colts.

                That is a different issue. Yes, I think it is classless for New England to try and hurt someone but that is a long way from thinking that I wanted to see someone hurt. New England is classless by the way. They are also winners who will do anything to keep winning...... Three QBs went out last week and two of those injuries are very serious and could be season ending. Was that done on purpose? Probably not but the fact is when a defensive player gets a chance to unload on a QB and perhaps knock him out of the game or end his season, he will be trying to do exactly that. Defensive players have been trying to end Luck's season since his first game. So far, he has avoided that but with the punishment he is taking, it is only a matter of time until one gets the job done. The same is true of RGIII. Big Ben has suffered lots of injuries but this is the first really serious one and it could have ended his life.....

                  Many INTs work out that way..... I don't think there has ever been a better game manager than Peyton Manning. Give that man a lead and he won't care about his stats, he will care about running the clock and closing that game out. People in Indy were spoiled by Peyton. Andrew Luck is not Peyton Manning and he isn't even close. Yes, his rookie stats are comperable or even better in some ways but he still isn't Peyton Manning and they day will come when the Luck believers here will admit that...... I think Peyton might get another MVP and another Super Bowl ring before that happens..... Denver is in for a great four or five year run with Peyton and he will put away most of the career QB records in that stretch.....

                    Re: Colts/Pats --- here we go again

                    If Peyton wins the super bowl, I think he'll retire immediately afterward. The guy has admitted he's not the same player physically that he was before the neck injury. And Peyton while great, most definitely cares about his stats IMO, I'm not saying that to criticize him, I just think it's true. Peyton was a big reason we won so many regular season games, he was a big reason we made the playoffs every year.

                    But once we were in the playoffs in 2007, Peyton was not the reason we won the Super Bowl that year. I'm just being honest. Peyton's best years were actually the last few IMO, because that team was a piece of crap.

                    As far as Irsay wanting to save money, I think that's been silly, maybe on Peyton's contract, but we have what like $40 million in dead deals we are paying on right now?

                      Peyton's second half against New England was one of the greatest performances by a QB in playoff history. Yeah his stats in the 06 playoffs weren't pretty, but it's not like any of his interceptions cost us. Also, Brady has had some pretty bad playoff stats in recent years. The playoffs are just a different animal as you are playing against elite teams.

                      Agree 100% with what you say about Irsay. Aside from Peyton, the players we got rid of are no longer any good. I'm grateful for their contributions to the golden era of Colts football, but that doesn't mean that we should have kept them forever.

                      Irsay has always shown that he is willing to spend on the team. Always. The Marlins example is silly. They got their stadium then after one year they dumped their entire team. The Colts opened their stadium up in 2008 and Peyton played there for three seasons, which included a Super Bowl appearance. In the fourth season, he missed the entire year because of a bizarre injury that no one could have predicted. It's not like Irsay was thinking "I'll fleece the city and get this new stadium. I'll keep Peyton for the first few years to make people think I care. Then I'll cut him after he gets an injury that keeps him out the entire season."

                      Lucas Oil Stadium opened in 2008, which was Manning's 11 season. Common sense said that Peyton couldn't possibly have played that many seasons there. Three is definitely shorter then we would have expected, but this is a stadium that is going to be around for a long long time. You don't build a 750 million dollar stadium purely to showcase one player that had already played for a decade.

                      No one could have ever dreamed that things would play out like they did. But the Colts brand seems to have escaped relatively unscathed. Just keep winning.

                        I do not think he would retire if he were to win it this year or next year. Elway didn't. If he is healthing and enjoying his situation, he will play until his skills erode. Peyton has always been a hard worker who stays in shape year around. He also has taken less punishment than some QBs in their career. I can see him playing to age 41 or 42 if he want to do it and he can get the job done and is surrounded by a pretty good team...... He needs about four years to get all of the QB records if he stays healthy. There is nothing wrong with putting them even more out of anyone's range in the near future (Brees, Brady, Rogers, etc).....

                          It was not basically the same thing, it was not anything close to what the Marlins have done.

                          From the Colts' "firesale" exactly one player that was let go from the Colts is having a better season or is even close to his Colts' replacement. Everyone one of those personnel moves, excluding Manning, have made the Colts better in the short term. Everyone one those those personnel moves, including Manning, have setup the Colts exponentially better in the long term. Whether they ultimately reach their potential is another matter. Just because you supposedly hate Irsay doesn't change this.

                          And you constantly bringing up Luck inevitably being knocked out for a game, season, or career, doesn't support you in whatever you keep trying to say. You mean it's possibly a football player could get hurt? What if Peyton's storybook comeback comes to a screeching halt because of a blind side hit that breaks his neck? Will you finally give up your nonsense on here, or will you continue to repeat the same things over and over?

If he is healthing and enjoying his situation, he will play until his skills erode. Peyton has always been a hard worker who stays in shape year around. He also has taken less punishment than some QBs in their career. I can see him playing to age 41 or 42 if he want to do it and he can get the job done and is surrounded by a pretty good team...... He needs about four years to get all of the QB records if he stays healthy. There is nothing wrong with putting them even more out of anyone's range in the near future (Brees, Brady, Rogers, etc).....
                            Yeah I agree with this. Peyton will play for as long as he feels he can win games for his team. He'll retire when he no longer thinks he can help a team, and not a day sooner, IMO.

What Irsay did was basically the same thing the baseball Marlins have done this week. He got a new stadium paid for by the state and the city and then he dumped his star QB and many of the players responsible for winning for so many years putting millions in his own pocket. Colts fans will eventually pay the price for this if not this year then in the coming years...... What exactly did Irsay do to enhance all of that in 1997, oh, right, he drafted Peyton Manning........
                              Yeah, that must be why the Colts are drawing an average of 103.3% capacity at home games this year.

                                That too will end.... If they have that kind of attendance then why do they call me every month begging me to repurchase my season tickets? They lost a lot of season ticket holders. Visiting teams and last minute purchasers have kept that number high. When this train falls of the tracks (and, yes, I believe that will happen in the next couple of years if not yet this year) and there will be blackouts.... Imagine what would happen if, say, Luck injured something that caused nerve damage and could no longer play. I hope that never happens but every player in the NFL can have it happen and Luck has taken way too much punishment and he will continue to take it this year and probably for several years to come..... This not a knock on Luck but on Irsay and management for not having a line to protect him. Peyton had that line and they were always good at pass protection if not the run..... Luck will certainly need "luck" to survive that. The NFL is littered with QB who did not.....
