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.

  • Draft Prediction Sure to Go Wrong!

    We never really know what any team will do because they treat the draft like a CIA mission. But I am going out on a limb here and making a prediction concerning the Pacers upcoming draft pick(s):

    The Pacers will keep their pick (15) and pick up a later selection in the low/mid 20's. Here is how: Some team will want to dump the salary of a sg/sf player that Bird will be interested in. In return for taking the salary off their hand, the Pacers will receive that teams pick (See Kirk Hinrich last year).
    This draft does not have many game changers but it is very deep with players who can contribute.
    By doing this the Pacers "could" pick up a PF in Kenneth Faried, a scoring wing to come off the bench (salary dump) and another player via the draft.

    There will be several spots to fill and not all of them will be filled thru FA! This could get really interesting!

    Re: Draft Prediction Sure to Go Wrong!

    There are some players who can be taken later in the draft and contribute off the bench.

    Justin Harper
    Reggie Jackson
    Johnson
    Jordan Williams
    Travis Leslie
    Nolan Smith
    Kyle Singlar

    etc......

      What the hey!

      If Atlanta would want to dump Kirk Hinrich and give is their 1st to do so, I guess we could take him off their hands. As an overweight 59-year-old, I'd even provide some rather clumsy cartwheels and backflips when it happens... well maybe not the backflips.

      If we did acquire a second 1st round pick, I would see us trading both picks in picking up another veteran player.

      The Pacers have more than their share of young players, I just don't see them as wanting to add 2-3 more to the roster. Bird has gone on record as saying that they need more veterans. And as much as so many on here say that the best thing we can do is dump all the veterans, it isn't going to happen. I think there will be a greater percentage of veterans on the team next season than there was this previous season.

        Its good to point out. Having the cap room allows you to get players just for taking money off someones cap. OKC got Eric Maynor in exactly this way. Its a good position to be in.

        When do the Pacers have to start signing guys that are on their rookie scales?

        I ask because that is basically when this cap room goes away when you start to have to sign Hibbert, Tyler and DC, then Paul to presumably much larger contracts.

          I think it really matters who the Pacers take first round.
          If they go PG (Morris/Jackson/Selby) & Shelvin Mack is available in the second round do the Pacers take him? I say no

          If they go PF/C with 15 & Jujaun Johnson/Jamie Skeen/ Trey Thompkins have a fall do they take go another big? I say Yes.

          Right now I am predicting we take Norris Cole Cleveland State PG in the second round.

            Washington took Hinrich from the Bulls and Chicago sent them their 1st Rd pick for taking his salary. I was not suggeting we get Hinrich, but that we take a player back and the team send their first with him.

              The Pacers don't have any cap space yet and won't have any at the time of the draft either.

              They won't be under the cap until July 1st, which unfortunately for the Pacers is also when the lockout will start.

                They dont need the space at the time of the draft. The other team will send the player they pick along with the player with the contract they want to unload. As long as Bird wants both the player and the pick we get 2 more players without giving up anyone!

                    That would be the situation on draft day where they say " team 1 and team 2 have agreed in principal". not a big deal.

                        DX.com has Joseph getting selected 60th. And after my research, I'm not feeling him as much as other probably-available PGs. Also, we don't need Jordan Hamilton. We are still decently stacked at wing position, he's way too streaky, and we don't need another unreliable swingman, imo.


                        Want:
                        #15 - Reggie Jackson
                        #42 - Jeremy Tyler

                        Drafting for our backup PG "need" earlier (in the first round, no less) is better than getting another second round PG who can't stand up to other options. RJ has a lot of facets of skill that I can appreciate, and which I think would be beneficial for our team, much moreso than AJ Price.

                        Despite JT's history/attitude, I can't think of anyone who would be in our picking range that can perform like Perry Jones, who I'd rather wait for. But JT's length and height would be incredibly valuable, especially with his ability in the paint. I just don't want him to instantly take a negative turn after the draft and turn into Roy Hibbert 2.0, which I don't want and we don't need.

                        Prediction:
                        #15 - Kenneth Faried
                        #42 - Ben Hansbrough

                        In contrast to my above statements, I can see us picking Kenneth Faried because he's Hansbrough's size, but quite a bit better with his vertical, rebounding, wingspan, athleticism, etc. With that said, I think Bird is more interested in drafting young players to fill specific holes (and trading for reliable talent) instead of taking risks on the weak FA class.

                        In addition to that, who better to pick up in the second round than BEN HANSBROUGH! I couldn't think of anyone we would likely pick up, but (for some reason) I could see Larry wanting to bring together the Hansbrothers together. Perhaps simply because their competitive nature could fuel some kind of unlit fire that Larry and Herb could market if it was moderately successful. Maybe that's why Brandon was drafted right after we "lost" Kareem. Who knows?

                        Regardless, I hope I'm epically wrong on my prediction. I still have my reservations on Faried, but would rather have him than plenty of others in this draft. Also, if Ben Hansbrough steps foot in a Pacers jersey (that isn't one of the PD redesigned unis), I will knock on the door of Bird's ranch house and let him know that I thought of the idea first, and I want reimbursed for the rights to "Hansbrothers." I know it's an unlikely pick, but there's always a chance.

                        I will not stand for the drafting Benny Hans.


                        edit: saw this tweet about Faried from DX:

                        Originally posted by DraftExpress

                        Tyler Hansbrough has skill and (some) energy, but lacks athleticism. If we smashed him and Faried together into one player (which hopefully added a couple inches to this new player), then he would be exactly what we're looking for.

                          Re: Draft Prediction Sure to Go Wrong!

                          note: I didn't add this into my last post because time passed, and that makes a difference in my posting decisions.

                          Just for the record, I think Reggie Jackson may be my most official selection for our 15th pick. If I could get past Faried's size, I'd be more split. But there's nothing about RJ that I see that makes me worry about his production. If he played behind DC, he'd almost immediately prove his place, and make a considerable difference to our bench production.

                          In contrast, I would worry that Faried would get beat out by bigger PF's (even those off the bench) who could stand up to him easily, which is a position/player we already have. Faried's biggest plus is his athleticism, which I hope can make up the difference between his height, and everyone else's.

                          Although, how awesome would it be if Faried came out on the court in a Pacers jersey, and was the "dreaded" (pun) second coming of Blake Griffin? #win

We are still decently stacked at wing position, he's way too streaky, and we don't need another unreliable swingman, imo.


                            Want:
                            #15 - Reggie Jackson
                            #42 - Jeremy Tyler

                            Drafting for our backup PG "need" earlier (in the first round, no less) is better than getting another second round PG who can't stand up to other options. RJ has a lot of facets of skill that I can appreciate, and which I think would be beneficial for our team, much moreso than AJ Price.

                            Despite JT's history/attitude, I can't think of anyone who would be in our picking range that can perform like Perry Jones, who I'd rather wait for. But JT's length and height would be incredibly valuable, especially with his ability in the paint. I just don't want him to instantly take a negative turn after the draft and turn into Roy Hibbert 2.0, which I don't want and we don't need.

                            Prediction:
                            #15 - Kenneth Faried
                            #42 - Ben Hansbrough

                            In contrast to my above statements, I can see us picking Kenneth Faried because he's Hansbrough's size, but quite a bit better with his vertical, rebounding, wingspan, athleticism, etc. With that said, I think Bird is more interested in drafting young players to fill specific holes (and trading for reliable talent) instead of taking risks on the weak FA class.

                            In addition to that, who better to pick up in the second round than BEN HANSBROUGH! I couldn't think of anyone we would likely pick up, but (for some reason) I could see Larry wanting to bring together the Hansbrothers together. Perhaps simply because their competitive nature could fuel some kind of unlit fire that Larry and Herb could market if it was moderately successful. Maybe that's why Brandon was drafted right after we "lost" Kareem. Who knows?

                            Regardless, I hope I'm epically wrong on my prediction. I still have my reservations on Faried, but would rather have him than plenty of others in this draft. Also, if Ben Hansbrough steps foot in a Pacers jersey (that isn't one of the PD redesigned unis), I will knock on the door of Bird's ranch house and let him know that I thought of the idea first, and I want reimbursed for the rights to "Hansbrothers." I know it's an unlikely pick, but there's always a chance.

                            I will not stand for the drafting Benny Hans.


                            edit: saw this tweet about Faried from DX:



                            Tyler Hansbrough has skill and (some) energy, but lacks athleticism. If we smashed him and Faried together into one player (which hopefully added a couple inches to this new player), then he would be exactly what we're looking for.
                            DX also has Jimmer at #20 and you think Bird is gonna pass him up over Jackson? Pacers need another wing and Hamilton will prolly be the best talent at pick 15. Rush will be gone after next year prolly and Jones will prolly be dealt, that only leaves Granger and George if they aren't dealt. Hamilton will be perfect for next year, if not this year. He shoots 2pt-48% 3pt-38.5% and is one of the most versitile Gaurds in the draft. Some sites have Jackson early to mid 2nd round. I don't see any with Hamilton even in the second round. Got to get the best availible talent at 15 and Jackson isn't it. He doesn't even play PG all the time and his shooting is sub par.
                            Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL

                              My main issue with Faried is can he play against bigger PFs?

                              It wouldn't maybe be as big a deal if you didn't have Hansbrough. If you take him, because he's best available, so be it. As far as fit, I love guys who are role players and happy about and do it with a fervor.

                              I just wonder if your in a series against the Bulls again and you are clearly outsized at the PF for 48 mins, can you play that way.

                              Is Faried an upgrade from Josh McRoberts, statistically I have no doubt Faried puts up great rebound numbers comparatively, but does he get exploited by bigger guys, defensively. Is he a bigger liability offensively.

                              Don't you want a bigger PF to compliment Tyler, maybe not.

                              Again I love energy role players, they are a pain for the other team to play against, I just wonder how Faried fits.
