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.

      Didn't you just pu-pu this in the other thread? It was a bad idea then and a bad idea now. Nothing in Derrick Williams play shows he has any business playing in a power/post offense like the pacers use. He is an athletic tweener. Maybe with a guy like Dwight Howard to help protect him, but he either needs to get quick enough to play the 3 or big enough to play the 4.

        Building on this a little, I've always found it interesting how trades get suggested.

        We look at players and basically think...

        1. We need something better and we can sacrifice player A to acquire a player that we need or fits better.

        2. We can trade player A because his contributions are easily covered by other members of the team... I.e he's redundant.

        3. Player A now plays like crap compared to how he used to play, so we need to dump him onto someone else in exchange for one of their better players.

        It seems like so many articles written like this one or suggested by the hometown fan relate very well with #3 above. Why is it that so many seem to think that teams are going to line up to exchange a good player for your crap? Yet it seems like the vast majority of trade suggestions are exactly that. Very rarely is it a win-win for both teams.

        As for Gasol, why would an LA writer think we would want him? He just has no clue how the world turns, especially financially, for a small market team like the Pacers.

Pau is clearly a #1 option and proved it by leading Memphis to multiple 0 win playoffs in a row.

          I mean how is "Pau as #1 option" not more of a "proven failure" than the Indiana "no stars" angle? Sheesh.
          I think it's hilarious that he took a shot at Indiana not having stars. Because, like, having Bynum/Pau/Kobe has been a home run. And Melo/Amare has been great. Oooh, Nash/Howard/Pau/Kobe has changed the league. There haven't been any issues in Miami with Wade/Bosh/James.

          Typical uneducated writer thinking teams are chomping at the bit to give up young talent for a $38M finesse PF that can't stay on the court.

            While I'm sure D'Antoni and Nash would like to have Amare back, I think the blockbuster trade is going to be Pau and K. Love with however many teams and players it takes to make it happen. Probably Pau to the Raptors for AB and Calderone and filler.

              If we're talking Pau Gasol of three years or so agao, then MAYBE. But no way in HELL right now.

                I say Gasol to the Rockets for Lin, Parsons and a 2nd rounder. Not sure about the financials, but it makes too much sense for both sides (at least, when you consider that the Rockets covet Gasol) not to be worth exploring. Lin is D'Antoni's dream type of point guard, Houston is locked in to Harden's ballhog style for the long term and that doesn't leave room for a point guard to be effective. Parsons is a good young player. Lakers get younger, Lin learns under Nash, Rockets get the Harden-Gasol combo to win now and for the next 2-3 yrs and still have tons of young guys with upside to fill out the roster.

                Edit: Could also see the Lakers wanting Augustin, mostly to be an Eddie House type player since they need outside shooting and DJA only seems to want to shoot the three (but would benefit from less half-court sets).

                      Actually, you have to wonder why the Lakers, Pacers and some 3rd Team doesn't discuss surrounding sending DJ to the Lakers as a backup to Nash, the Lakers sending some assets to some 3rd Team and the Pacers getting back something from a 3rd Team. IMHO....I think that DJ fits a more up-tempo offense instead of the half-court offense that we run now.

                        Danny is a top 10 Small Forward that is due 27 mil in his last 2 years. His exact numbers are $13,058,606 for this season and $14,021,788 the next season.

                        Mahinmi is a decent back-up Center is due 12 mil in 4 years. His contract is flat at $4mil.

                        Green is an athletic wing that can shoot the 3 is due 10.5 mil in 3 years. His contract is flat at $3.5.

                        Let's see some comparable players and their contracts.

                        Luol Deng: He is due 27.6 mil in his last 2 years. His exact numbers are $13,326,700 for this season and $14,312,125 for the next season.

                        I know that some people here feel that he is better than Danny but as I've posted in another threads some Bulls fans think that Danny is better. Personally, I think that the two players are quite comparable. Danny is somewhat better as a scorer while Deng is somewhat better as a defender but I feel that the two players are close.

                        Rudy Gay: He is due 53.67 mil in his last 3 years. His exact numbers are $16,460,532 for this season, $17,888,932 for the next season and $19,317,326 for the 14-15 season.

                        Is Gay that much better than Granger? Well, let's compare their career averages on some key statistical categories.

                        Rudy Gay: 18.0 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.3 SPG, 0.9 BPG. Also, 2.3 Turnovers per Game. He is shooting 45.4 FG% on 52.9 TS% and 48.8 eFG%.

                        Danny Granger: 18.2 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.0 SPG, 0.9 BPG. Also, 2.0 Turnovers per Game. He is shooting 43.8 FG% on 56.4 TS% and 50.3 eFG%.

                        Danny has a small advantage in PPG, Rudy has a small advantage on rebounds and steals but Danny is turning it over less. Rudy is shooting a better percentage from the field but Danny has the upper hand on TS and eFG.

                        So, the stats say that they are about on par.

                        Therefore, Danny's contract is vastly better and far from a "crappy" one.

                        Enes Kanter: His contract is $4,443,360 for this season, $4,753,320 for the next season and there's a team option of $6,008,106. There's also a qualifying offer of $7,882,663.

                        Taj Gibson: His contract is $2,155,811 for this season, $7,550,000 for the next season, $8,000,000 for the 14-15 season, $8,500,000 for the 15-16 season and $8,950,000 for the 16-17 season.

                        Andris Biedrins: His contract is $9,000,000 for this season and he also has a player option for the next season of $9,000,000.

                        Tiago Splitter: He is at the last year of his rookie contract ($3,944,000) and he has a qualifying offer of $4,930,000 for the next season.

                        Some of those produce better than Ian and some of those produce worse. He isn't the best bang for the buck but he is far from a crappy contract as well.

                        Dorrel Wright: He is under a one-year contract that's worth $4,106,000.

                        Brandon Rush: He is due $4,000,000 for this season and also has a player option of $4,000,000 for the next season.

                        Landry Fields: He is due $5,000,000 for this season, $5,225,000 for the next season and $8,500,000 for the 14-15 season.

                        Corey Brewer: He is due $3,243,000 for this season.

                        Alonzo Gee: He is due $3,500,000 for this season, $3,250,000 for the next season and also has a team option of $3,250,000 for the next season.

                        Fields is kinda overpaid. The rest of those are roughly on the same level as Green's contract. Some are slightly cheaper (Brewer, Gee) while others are not (Wright, Rush) but they are on the same level.

                        Either way you cut it, paying $3.5 mil for an athletic wing that can shoot the 3 is pretty common around the league. It's a normal contract and once again far from a crappy one.

                          I appreciate the work you put in looking up those figures. I feel like too many people criticize our team contracts without looking around the league at comparable players and their contracts. Our contracts only look bad compared to the true bargains out there. We don't have many bargains on our team, sure, but with the exception of Hibbert we have a bunch of fair contracts on our team.

                            Thank you

                            It took me a while to amass all those together (source is HoopsHype, by the way) so I appreciate this.

                            It just saddens me that some people will remain so fixated on their opinions that they will keep igoring every figure and statistic that I present to them. Oh well. You have to appreciate those that are willing to listen

Our contracts only look bad compared to the true bargains out there. We don't have many bargains on our team, sure, but with the exception of Hibbert we have a bunch of fair contracts on our team.
                            Well, PG's contract is a bargain but I suppose that rookie deals don't count

                              Danny is a top 10 Small Forward that is due 27 mil in his last 2 years. His exact numbers are $13,058,606 for this season and $14,021,788 the next season.

                              Mahinmi is a decent back-up Center is due 12 mil in 4 years. His contract is flat at $4mil.

                              Green is an athletic wing that can shoot the 3 is due 10.5 mil in 3 years. His contract is flat at $3.5.

                              Let's see some comparable players and their contracts.

                              Luol Deng: He is due 27.6 mil in his last 2 years. His exact numbers are $13,326,700 for this season and $14,312,125 for the next season.

                              I know that some people here feel that he is better than Danny but as I've posted in another threads some Bulls fans think that Danny is better. Personally, I think that the two players are quite comparable. Danny is somewhat better as a scorer while Deng is somewhat better as a defender but I feel that the two players are close.

                              Rudy Gay: He is due 53.67 mil in his last 3 years. His exact numbers are $16,460,532 for this season, $17,888,932 for the next season and $19,317,326 for the 14-15 season.

                              Is Gay that much better than Granger? Well, let's compare their career averages on some key statistical categories.

                              Rudy Gay: 18.0 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.3 SPG, 0.9 BPG. Also, 2.3 Turnovers per Game. He is shooting 45.4 FG% on 52.9 TS% and 48.8 eFG%.

                              Danny Granger: 18.2 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.0 SPG, 0.9 BPG. Also, 2.0 Turnovers per Game. He is shooting 43.8 FG% on 56.4 TS% and 50.3 eFG%.

                              Danny has a small advantage in PPG, Rudy has a small advantage on rebounds and steals but Danny is turning it over less. Rudy is shooting a better percentage from the field but Danny has the upper hand on TS and eFG.

                              So, the stats say that they are about on par.

                              Therefore, Danny's contract is vastly better and far from a "crappy" one.

                              Enes Kanter: His contract is $4,443,360 for this season, $4,753,320 for the next season and there's a team option of $6,008,106. There's also a qualifying offer of $7,882,663.

                              Taj Gibson: His contract is $2,155,811 for this season, $7,550,000 for the next season, $8,000,000 for the 14-15 season, $8,500,000 for the 15-16 season and $8,950,000 for the 16-17 season.

                              Andris Biedrins: His contract is $9,000,000 for this season and he also has a player option for the next season of $9,000,000.

                              Tiago Splitter: He is at the last year of his rookie contract ($3,944,000) and he has a qualifying offer of $4,930,000 for the next season.

                              Some of those produce better than Ian and some of those produce worse. He isn't the best bang for the buck but he is far from a crappy contract as well.

                              Dorrel Wright: He is under a one-year contract that's worth $4,106,000.

                              Brandon Rush: He is due $4,000,000 for this season and also has a player option of $4,000,000 for the next season.

                              Landry Fields: He is due $5,000,000 for this season, $5,225,000 for the next season and $8,500,000 for the 14-15 season.

                              Corey Brewer: He is due $3,243,000 for this season.

                              Alonzo Gee: He is due $3,500,000 for this season, $3,250,000 for the next season and also has a team option of $3,250,000 for the next season.

                              Fields is kinda overpaid. The rest of those are roughly on the same level as Green's contract. Some are slightly cheaper (Brewer, Gee) while others are not (Wright, Rush) but they are on the same level.

                              Either way you cut it, paying $3.5 mil for an athletic wing that can shoot the 3 is pretty common around the league. It's a normal contract and once again far from a crappy one.

                              I stopped reading at the part were Danny is supposed to be a top ten player at something, I don't know if you know this but the guy has not play a game in a long time.

                                So then Andrew Bynum isn't a top ten Center in your opinion?
