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.

    Re: Dunleavy is back tonight!!!

    Ok, I'm going to assume that whenever he is taken off of the min. restriction count that he is going to get anywhere from 30-35 min. a game so who do we eleminate?

    S. Jones is now officially gone because we will now see plenty of Troy at the center spot.

    Brandon Rush will drop his min. (can't say this will be all that bad, I'm mean he is almost as bad on offense as Mike is on defense).

    D. Jones will have his min. cut. This is actually criminal to be honest with you.

    Tyler will also see his min. decline, which may be the most dissapointing thing of all.

    Roy will also have his min. drop because he will not fit in with the faster paced lineup and lack of perimeter defense will lead players to up the middle and Roy will continue to foul like he has the past few games and so JOB will yank him early and often.

    Needless to say I am less than thrilled with this turn of events. Over the summer I thought we were going to commit to defense and more toughness on the floor. Well now we are just back to the same old offense first second and third lineup.

    Believe me I hope I'm wrong here. I hope that JOB mixes and matches on the floor and has Dunleavy with D. Jones and I hope that we don't see Murphy at center (ever for any reason) but the M.O. on JOB says otherwise.

      I'm not particularly excited, mainly because I hope he's not rushing it.

      Same for Granger, actually.

        I hear your concerns.

        Nevertheless, we do need an offensive boost. This lineup has some mojo:

        Watson
        DJones
        Dun
        Granger
        Hibbert/Foster

          Re: Dunleavy is back tonight!!!

          A lineup of

          watson
          djones
          dun
          granger
          hibbert

          sounds great to me. Have murphy sub in for hibbert as the 6th man. When dun needs a break move granger to the three. Then you have rush to sub with jones and granger when he needs it. I dont see a major log/jam. Just a few of the players that have been extended min will get them cut back some.

          Peck from the way you are talking you make it sound that dun is the worst defensive player in the league. I am not sure where he gets this reputation at but he is not that bad. I was honestly say he is a average defender and with his length at the 2 can really challenge shots.

          The game can not only be about defense. The other team is going to put points on the board no matter what. We have seen our best defense collapse and lose us games simply because we couldnt score points along with defending.

          Way to many times this year have we had 7,8,9 min stretches where we could not score a f/g. No one is at fault, we simply have young players and while we preach defense we still have to be consistent on the offensenive end. We have to be able to score to ball better than the other team. While jones and rush probably shouldn't have their min cut, rush simply cannot be counted on, he does not have the intensity to be a 12-20 pt scorer in this league. He seems to be happy with just launching the three ball when it comes his way. Even though Jones is my favorite pacer at this current time he is a one trick pony. I like to call him the modern day fred jones with defense. You know he is going right, you know he is going to lower his shoulder and cup the ball. You know its going to be a lay up. He will surprise you a few times a game with a nice midrange jumper but 90% of his offense is the bull rush. Sometimes you need a player that can come in and make the OTHER PLAYERS BETTER, that is what Dun used to bring to this team. Hopefully he can still have that same effect and really influence a basketball game with his bball IQ.

          I really think having him in the game along with hibbert is really going to help hibbert. He really feeds the post well and knows just the right time to get the ball down low.

          We will see if he can still be a nba talent or if he is going to be back on the end of the bench.

            The worst defender sadly is our starting power forward.

            Dunleavy is just a below average defender.

            All I can say is we better score and score a lot because we are not going to stop anyone with the starting lineup I see coming.

              Don't get your hopes to high, I am pretty sure that with JOB you are going to see more this line up


              Ford
              Dun
              Danny
              Murphy
              Foster

              This would be the same line up who was giving up more than hundred points per game, your are going to also see a line up with Troy as center and Tyler as PF at the same time

                Brandon just doesn't seem to fit with this team. I'm not sure if it's him, JOB or the fact that the team is really dependent on his producing. He probably would be better on a team much better than the pacers or much worse. Anyway he is not ready for prime time and so he should play behind D. Jones and Dunleavy. We just don't have luck with players named Rush.

                  That is really a good way of putting it right there. My guess is that if Brandon played for the Nuggets or the Lakers he would probably be considered an asset, however since we really needed him to be the second best player on the team he is falling way short in that area.

                    I think that the same could be say about Roy, people are expecting him to be dominant and they forget that this is only his second year and also big mens take longer to develop, could anybody here imagine if we have a guy like Bynum? he is been developing for almost four or five years I think.

                      I can't say I disagree with you....but we knew this day was coming. We wanted someone "quality" depth to help cover for our un-ending battle with the injury bug? Well...we know have it.

                      But didn't JO'B say that we'd use a 9-10 man rotation?

                      Well, as some of us have mentioned before.....I'll believe it when I see it.

                        Ah, Peck...

                        Why you gotta be a sour-puss, man?

                        Seriously, I hear your concerns and have wondered what JOB would do as well once he got a full compliment of healthy bodies to work with 10 deep. I believe you are correct; Hibbert, BRush, Solo, Djones and Hansborough's minutes will all be reduced since Granger, Murphy, Foster and Dunleavy are all back, but my hope is that JOB is able to find that "balance" between the right and consistently performing starting lineup and his rotation. But more important, I hope that starting line and/or the rotation consists of strong defense to go with an offense that doesn't have these 5-9 minute scoring droughts this team seems to have for some unexplained reason.

                        I, for one, don't mind seeing DJones, Hansborough or Solo come off the bench. They're part of who I've dubbed the "Energy Crew". Include TJ Ford, McRoberts and even Dunleavy in the mix (provided he's back to form) and you have some of the most energetic players on the floor for our team not to mention a very strong defensive compliment.

                        I would start Watson over TJ Ford only because Watson, like Jarret Jack before him, is a very smart and even keeled PG who doesn't make alot of mistakes and is a pass-first PG. That's important when you have a group of players who rely on motion for find their shots. I think you still start BRush just to keep his confidence up and to have his man-defense paired with Granger.

                        Having 10+ healthy bodies is a good thing! Now, all JOB has to do is be honest about this team's make-up and the players who work best together and/or provide the best all-around "balance" for this team among the starters and reserves on both sides of the ball. If he's able to do that over the course of the next 15 games, I think the Pacers will do just fine.

                        "Young Dunleavy. Bring BALANCE to the 'Force'."

                          http://my.nba.com/cms/103328/thanks_...s=iref:nbahpt2

                          Thanks to a lot of help ... I'm back

                          The day has arrived that I can finally say I'm back.

                          As long as I don't trip and hurt myself warming up, I'm going to play tonight for the first time in 10 months. What a long road it has been, but I feel great about the time and effort I've put in and now it's time to get back to doing the thing I love most.

                          So much has gone into this process and I have so many people that have helped me along the way. How ironic that I come back a day after Thanksgiving.

                          I have a lot of people that I need to give thanks to, starting with my family for their unwavering support, the surgeons who fixed my knee and looked after me throughout the last year, specifically Dr Steadman and our own Dr. Tim Hupfer, our medical staff featuring Josh Corbeil, Carl Eaton and Dan Dyrek -- these guys worked on me day-in and day-out and were always there for me when I needed them. In addition, Shawn Windle and Andy -- his assistant in the weight room -- helped me get the strength back in my legs.

                          I couldn't go without thanking my teammates and coaches and everyone within the Pacers organization who have shown so much patience and encouragement. I really lucked out in playing for an organization that puts the health of a player above anything else. Never once was I asked to play by a certain date or rushed back too soon. There are a lot of teams that you can't say that about, therefore I am forever grateful. I'd also like to thank our loyal fans who have been so supportive as I've battled back. Thank you for your well wishes and efforts to raise my spirits.

                          Finally, I have to thank the one person who has been there with me literally every step of the way. That's my wife, Sarah, who has put up with everything: from bad moods to always being on my schedule and making so many sacrifices for me. She has been a saint. When she said "I do" to '"through sickness and health" I don't think she envisioned helping me put my socks on, getting me out of bed and helping me go to the bathroom.

                          But she has done it all and never complained one bit. I cannot thank her enough for her incredible support and know that I'll never be able to truly repay her.

                          Thanks to all my avid followers on this blog. I've really enjoyed writing and keeping those who are interested, up to date with my progress. I guess I can say it's been a pleasure but I don't want to have to do it again.

                          Without further ado, I'd like to wish myself luck by simply saying, "Break a Leg."

                            You know what I'd like to see? A Jones/Dunleavy backcourt.

                            Regardless, with everyone else healthy we could lose both Trophy and TJ and still not have enough minutes to go around.
