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.

    What Elements Will Create Better Chemistry?


    Thursday, Sept. 21

    QUESTION OF THE DAY
    Conrad Brunner


    Q. It's been widely mentioned that the chemistry will be better this year, but why is this true? Of all the people on the team last year, I would not have guessed (Austin) Croshere, Peja (Stojakovic), (Scot) Pollard, (Anthony) Johnson or (Eddie) Gill to be bad "chemistry" guys. And with all the new players, it would seem hard to estimate any sort of chemistry, good or bad. What changes do you believe have caused this chemistry improvement? (From Rob in North Richland Hills, TX)

    A. The belief chemistry will improve stems not so much from departed personnel as a renewal of spirit within the team fabric. Having been through two hellish years, the Pacers players and coaches have basically vowed to start fresh this season.

    Stephen Jackson's recent comments in a Q&A with Pacers.com reflect the overall team mindset: there's been a lot of soul-searching going on and the players very much feel like they have things to prove both individually and collectively.

    The Pacers have taken some big hits and the time has come to begin reclaiming their good name, and all involved know that must be done as a group.

    Of course, personnel will factor into the change. Consider this, for example: the Pacers are entering the season without Ron Artest on the roster, which eliminates a carnival of distractions. In his place is Al Harrington, who not only is an extremely talented player in the prime of his career, but a coveted free agent who wanted very much to be here – not to be the show, but to play his part. That has immense meaning to his teammates.

    Harrington, Darrell Armstrong, Marquis Daniels and Maceo Baston all are class acts and positive guys in the locker room. This is not to suggest those who departed were not, by any means, but rather that new faces and voices will give the locker room a fresh feel after what became a very stale situation last season.

    There also has been an infusion of youth and athleticism that will bring a vitality to the atmosphere. Throw in a new offensive approach that should be more enjoyable for players and fans a like and ultimately lead to more success and the renewed commitment to Coach Rick Carlisle manifest in his pending contract extension, and you have a number of circumstances that should lead to better chemistry. With so much positive energy, the Pacers can't help but feel recharged

    In other words, we couldn't dump the malcontents so we're putting the right words in their mouths and hoping the improved attitude from the second unit wears off on the starters.

    YIPPPEEEE!!!!
    Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
    Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
    Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
    Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
    And life itself, rushing over me
    Life itself, the wind in black elms,
    Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

        Wow... I was expecting a much better answer when I read the question.

        Unfortunately, maybe there's not a better answer.

        I'm afraid we're going to have to wait and see if a group of players who've shown no intestinal fortitude and little collective maturity can find some and realize a team's sum should be greater than it's parts.

        IF it comes squarely on the new players to somehow show the core this, then, Virginia, we have a problem.

          Just act like a professional. That takes care of most things.

            C'mon Jay. It doesn't cost anything extra to be a sunshiner. Anyway, I think Bruno's article is right, not just from a PR standpoint, but from a realistic beginning-of-the-season perspective. The slate really IS clean. I don't have a very high expectation for this team, but I'm confident they'll be more fun than last season.

            I don't think Stephen Jackson is very smart, but he is smart enough to see the advantage of straightening up his act. I don't think Rick Carlisle is as great a brain-box as many on Pacers Digest think he is, but he's smart enough to know what he's got to do this year. (Just to clarify, Carlisle is certainly smart. I have no delusions and mean no disrespect to him. He's forgotten more than I'll ever know. I just don't know if he is one of the 4-5 smartest men in basketball, as his supporters claim.) David Harrison just isn't very smart, but maybe even he can learn to Just Stand There.

              As stated in the other thread.....I'm sure Jax knows he should behave better. I think he really wants to. I just don't think he will.

                This, I agree with. It's not that they all came back from the mountain all wise and omniscient, it's more that they learned that fire is hot, theoretically speaking, and I need to stop putting my hand on the stove.

                Fresh start could make this fun, but even if everything goes perfect chemistry wise next year, we'll be sitting here realizing they don't have enough talent, but at least you know where your at w/o all the BS dragging down the whole product.

                They've talked about for years, well we need to evaluate it after so an so gets healthy or so and so comes back, its never happened. TPTB haven't known what they have had since the year before the brawl. That's what I look forward to, seeing where we REALLY are.

                  I think this is a bigger factor than its being given credit. First off, Peja wasn't a "positive" influence. He sat in the playoffs even. He didn't care for defense and clearly was in "just get me paid" mode. Ask Sacto about his chemistry considering how much better they got when Ron showed up and how well he and Webber got along.

                  AJ, while I like his game for what it is, was very vocal about his issues with the team, and that went back several years. Actually SarJas remains and he's very similar.

                  AC was that locker room guy that "fixed" everything with his meeting, yet somehow that all went south shortly after. I doubt his impact was as big as people wanted it to be.


                  Besides, the biggest impact to on-court chemistry is people playing and the biggest impact off court is a never settled lineup or rotation. Fred and AC's injuries didn't help that any more than JO or Tinsley's.

                  They needed a more reliable and complimentary set of bench players. They got that. And JO and Tinsley being 60-70 games healthy should have a dramatic impact on the chemistry issues.

                    Meh. I'm tired of taking the cynic's view on this team. I choose to believe what he's saying, more or less. I think this year will be closer to 2004 than '05 and '06. Ron being gone from Day 1 being reasons' 1-5.

                      I don't know about all this stuff...if I want better chemistry I'd ask my chem. teacher, Mr. Kiester.

                      If you want the team to get along better, then what we have done is a good step in that direction. Moving SJax, IMO, would have been a VERY good step, but alas...Here's to hopin' that he straightens up and plays nice!
                      It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.

                        That's just not true.

                        It can be a bandaid, that's true. As it was for most of 2003-04 when the chemistry was bad but the team was winning anyway.

                        But that team struggled at two different times that season - late during the Kenny Anderson era (when Artest was benched for 'conduct detrimental to winning in the NJ game), and then again in the playoffs (when Artest had his famous meltdown against Miami that stretched into the Detroit series.)

                        Nobody believes the chemisty was magically better just because they were winning. As soon as the winning was less-constant the chemistry problems (and Ron's problems) resumed, at full strength.

                        For another case in point, look at the Lakers, circa 2000-2003. All that winning never fixed the chemistry for them, either.
                        Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
                        Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
                        Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?

                          Sure it does, it costs a lot of disappointment later on when you find out your pessimism - that you chose to ignore - was right in the first place. When they show me improvement then I'll start to rally behind them. Too many core players and coaches are still here for me to believe that a "clean slate" is sufficient. Especially when many of the main culprits have repeatedly shown a tendencey to revert to dysfunctional behavior when the going gets tough.

                          I don't think Stephen Jackson is very smart, but he is smart enough to see the advantage of straightening up his act.
                          He sure didn't see the advantage of straightening up his act last spring. I'm not sure he gets (nor does he deserve to get) a clean slate with the paying fans. I'm not giving him one - he'll have to earn a clean slate with vastly improved behavior and if he's gone before he proves it then I'm even happier.

                          I'm not remotely interested in what they have to say, I want to see them prove they're fixing the me-first, uncoachable behaviors that have plagued this team for at least the last four seasons. I read this article solely because I thought Conrad would have a different/ more compelling answer. I still don't believe that changing a whole bunch of bench players, only one starter, and only the #1 assistant coach is enough to fix the team's culture. Of course, I think the off-season shakeup should've started with management and the coach, so that doesn't exactly give me any confidence that they're serious about fixing the problem yet. I do believe Al and Daniels can help, but more changes are still needed, IMO.

                          Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
                          Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
                          And life itself, rushing over me
                          Life itself, the wind in black elms,
                          Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

                            Unfortunately, maybe there's not a better answer.

                            I'm afraid we're going to have to wait and see if a group of players who've shown no intestinal fortitude and little collective maturity can find some and realize a team's sum should be greater than it's parts.

                            IF it comes squarely on the new players to somehow show the core this, then, Virginia, we have a problem.

                            Of course, VA has always had problems, but thats an issue for another thread

                            As for the QOTD, I was really hoping to read a better answer then I did. This is going to be a very interesting year, and for our sakes I hope that it turns out to be a "good" interesting....

He didn't care for defense and clearly was in "just get me paid" mode. Ask Sacto about his chemistry considering how much better they got when Ron showed up and how well he and Webber got along.

                              AJ, while I like his game for what it is, was very vocal about his issues with the team, and that went back several years. Actually SarJas remains and he's very similar.

                              AC was that locker room guy that "fixed" everything with his meeting, yet somehow that all went south shortly after. I doubt his impact was as big as people wanted it to be.
                              Actually, that makes a lot of sense. These guys got a lot of credit despite the fact they weren't necessarily good locker room presences.

                              We need to keep guys healthy, define some roles as the season goes on, and have people settle into a rotation. I worry about Runi vs. Tins, particularly if Tins is sitting out games and Runi is starting.

                              Essentially, I'm saying health is critical to our chemistry.
