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.

I don't care what we pay him... it's not my problem. I DO care, though, that we've got 10mil/year wrapped up for the next 5 years in a guy with negative trade value.

    Here's how you tell if a guy has a negative trade value. Pick a team in the league, any team. Imagine that they have an expiring contract for exactly the same amount as Troy's contract. Would they trade him for that amount and a future second-round pick?

    Find me a team in the league that would take Troy Murphy if we gave him away.
    What the hell?????

    Have I even said anything to you about Murphy? I might have I just don't remember.

    Look there are two things about Murphy that I will say.

    1. He is a lot more soft than I had hoped for.

    2. He is just the opposite version of Jeff Foster but gets paid more.

    However unlike you, I guess, I just don't give a rats @ss about Murphy's salary.

    You wanna talk overpaid come see me about Jermaine O'Neal then after we discuss his max contract with his 19/9 and whatever blocks he ended up with a game production then we can go talk about Murphy.

    Is he overpaid? Probably. I'll just throw this in there for you though.

    Can you go back and re-explain to me why we couldn't have paid Brad Miller his salary but were willing to do so with Murphy?

    Oh never mind.

    Again, truely I just don't care about what they make other than when someone explains to me why we can't make a trade because of it.

    But seriously, have I said something to you about Murphy?

      I think Murphy leads the league in getting his shots blocked. If not overall then perhaps BPM (blocked per minute)?

        I'm not kidding when I say this nor am I trying to be cute (well I couldn't even if I tried) but I read somewhere (I don't know where it may be from the mag that only Bball and I subscribe to ) that J.O. led the league in having his shot blocked.

        No, serious.

        I don't know if it is right or not but I remember seeing that somewhere.

            Re: A short question about Troy Murphy

            Here's the Troy Murphy as a Warrior story straight from a Warrior fan.

            Murphy was definitely a fan favorite his first two years in the league with the Warriors. He made good plays. Seemed pretty mobile for a guy his size and seemed like he had a good feel for the game. Dunked on Dale Davis and stared at him. Fans loved him.

            Then the Warriors' management (as has happened a lot) deluded themselves into thinking that Murphy might be another Brad Miller (Miller when he was at the top of his game, anways).

            They bulked him up after his rookie year. They had him try to play inside. It worked reasonably well his 2nd year (which I still think was his best year in the NBA). The summer before his 3rd year, they decided that he was never going to be much of an inside scorer, so they had him practice 3s the whole summer.

            Seemed like a good idea, but that was when his injuries started creeping in. Plantar fascitas (sp?) limited him to something like 26 games in his 3rd year. He came back towards the end of the year. Immediately, it became obvious that he had a lost a lot of mobility and lift.

            Immediately following, Mullin dishes out a $58M deal to a player who just came off a season in which he played only 26 games. He got totally abused by Dan Fegan at the table. Big mistake.

            Murphy comes back the following season and lays one huge stinkbomb. Despite averaging a double/double, he shoots 41% from the field (that's 41% from the starting PF). He gets his shot blocked by players big and small. He gets booed and this is when fans start to realize that he's gotten complacent, lazy and slothlike. We also began to notice that he was an extremely poor finisher inside. He wasn't very clever around the basket. He'd always use the same shooting motion and release point whether he was 10 feet or 2 feet away from the basket. This (plus his loss of mobility and lift) made it very easy for defenders big and small to anticipate when to block his shot. He got roofed quite often to put it kindly.

            The year after that he played a little bit better. Better shooting %, slightly better defense. He got off to a BLAZING start, but it became obvious that he started wearing down as the season progressed. That's when it became clear to everyone that Murphy had neither the stamina or athleticism to be a starting PF. Physically, he just became very below average by NBA standards and he didn't have enough of a basketball game to compensate for it.

            The next year, Nellie came aboard and everyone from RealGM to Marc Stein figured this was exactly what Murphy needed. Nellie recognized the lack of athleticism on the part of Murphy and Dunleavy. He figured the only way to get something out of them was to play each at center and powerforward in hopes of gaining a quickness advantage. Opening night: We get blown out by a Laker team that was played w/o Kobe. Murphleavy looked horrible. Nellie totally scraps the plan after 1 game.

            He tries different combos with Murphy starting at C, starting at PF and coming off the bench. Finally, Nellie's had it; he straight up tells Mullin "I can't win with these guys." Mullin tried all summer long to peddle Murphy for Harrington to no avail (Hawks wanted no part of Murphy's contract). He still wanted to do the deal into the season, but the Pacers probably wanted Ike involved as well as a swap of Dunleavy for Jackson. Mullin was very reluctant to do this, but Nellie came as close as you could to saying "Make this trade or I'm quitting" without actually making that ultimatum. Then the trade.

            That's kind of the Troy Murphy story in GS.

              Re: A short question about Troy Murphy

              Thanks for the recap d c.

              You forgot to mention that he missed almost a month early in the season last year with an achilles injury.

              If you've ever had any kind of achilles injury, you know they heal VERY VERY slowly.

              I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that a combination of lingering injury and the new system under Carlisle made him extra crappy. A summer or rest and a system that suits him might make him useful. I'm not saying he might be worth his contract, but he can be a decent player.

              I also wouldn't get too hung up on negative trade value. Lots of guys have negative trade value. Jackson did. Tinsley does. Same for Kenyon Martin, Ron Artest, Marbury, Francis, Q-Rich, Jerome James, Antoine Walker, Raef LaFrentz, Zach Randolph, Speedy Calxton, Larry Hughes, Nazr Muhammed, Adonyl Foyle, rash Nesterovic, Vladimir Radmanovic, Bobby Simmons, Dan Gadzuric, Peja, Darious Miles... the list goes on and many of these guys make significantly more than Murph.
              The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).

                Re: A short question about Troy Murphy

                dc, I think you gave the rest of the forum some great history on Troy in the past. I think I joined in with you. I've followed the guy for years. He's IS a gamer, but he's been jacked around so much, it's no wonder the guy gets dissed. People don't stop to think of his history.

                I am confident Troy will be a solid player for us next year and all the guy needs is to be injury free and stop having coaching staffs turn him into what they feel they need rather than play to his strengths. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm a Troy Murphy fan.

                The comparision was made about who was the best player in the Murphy/Diogu/Dunleavy group. I maintain it's Troy.....if he's given a clear role and allowed to work on his game. (I refer you to past history.) I don't have a problem with his salary. I refer you to PT's post.

                Tom, to paraphrase you, there's no such thing as negative trade value. There is ALWAYS a team that will want a particular player, if he fits into their system. Salary will tend to balance out, taken as a whole for any given team, for the most part.

                Hey! What're you kicking me for? You want me to ask? All right, I'll ask! Ma'am, where do the high school girls hang out in this town?

                  Yes, JO did lead the league in having his shot blocked a few seasons back and he is always near the top of the league. Reason is because his shoulders, waist, and legs are so thin that defenders can get right up into him. He doesn't have a low center of gravity. That is why short players like Charles Barkley and LJ were great low post players, they had wide shoulder, a big butt, big waist - defneders couldn't get close to them - so it was difficult to block their shots

                    There's nobody in the league that would want him, unless we threw in something more valuable.

                      But your "other than" is exactly my point. We've got 10mil/year locked up in a player that's not tradable.

                        i.e., he is a "negative trade asset"

                        So was Dunleavy from the GState perspective, and Jack from ours.

                        That trade was:
                        GS giving up -, -, + (Troy, Dun, Ike)

                        Indy giving up -, + (Jack, Al).
                        And Jack's "negativity" to us was significantly worse for us (PR reasons) than for GS. That's why most consider us to have gotten jobbed so bad---we took on two objectively negative players (contracts) to get rid of one more subjectively negative player (PR, but also contract).

                        The rest of the trade with any significance, Al for Ike, is up for debate and we won't know for a few years if that was "brilliant," "dumb," or "whatever"

                          Aww, come on now. How many times are we going to bite at the "he has potential" bit. I'd personally like a known quantity and tweak him into the player he could be (The Larry Brown approach), rather than fall into the "He has more potential" trap. Ladies and Gentleman, I present Stromile Swift.

                          Nobody in the league would want him? Isn't that not a teensiest bit of hyperbole. I feel like you have totally ignored everything written about Troy, especially what dc wrote, and you are basing your opinion totally on one season as a Pacer.

                          I repeat, come on now!

                          Nobody would want him? It's all about needs and team fits. Frex, Houston has been DYING for a PF for years now. (I read Clutchfans BBS, too.) and if you don't think just from a fan perspective, they didn't talk about how Troy's game could benefit their team, you'd be wrong.

                          Matter of fact, Look at Houston's roster. Look at how backed up they are at PG, and SG. They have Methusela at backup C. Now THERE is a team who would be interested in Troy. He could play some C, start at PF, space the floor for Yao...

                          But yeah, with all the stiffs pluggin dead weight at PF on rosters, NO ONE would want Troy.

                          I repeat....come on now.

                          It's all relative.
                          Hey! What're you kicking me for? You want me to ask? All right, I'll ask! Ma'am, where do the high school girls hang out in this town?

                            Right. And now we're right back where we've started, except that we still haven't answered the question.

                            If we went to every team in the league, one at a time, and asked "What would you give us for Troy Murphy?" would we get anything back that we'd like?

                              Why would any team wanting to win a championship start Troy at PF? Especially with his atrocious contract. I don't see how people have faith in Murphy still. He hasn't done anything in the past 3 years and he did nothing for us last year. Just because his first two years in the league were promising doesn't mean he's magically going to be that player again.

                                I dunno. I could use some Mickey D's right now. Think Houston would give up a quarter pounder?
