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.

    Pace Miller: PREVIEW - Pacers (1) vs Hawks (8)

    And so the real fun begins.

    The No. 1 seeded Indiana Pacers (56-26) open their 2014 playoff campaign against the
    8th seeded Atlanta Hawks (39-43) . No one gave the Hawks a chance after they lost Al
    Horford for the season with a pec injury, but they managed to hang around and finish
    the season strong by going 6-2 in their last 8 games.

    Conversely, the Pacers’ struggles since the All-Star break have been well documented,
    so there’s no need to go there again. The last time these two teams met, April 6, the
    Hawks dropped the Pacers to their lowest point of the season, a 107-88 drubbing at
    Bankers Life Fieldhouse that ended a dreadful 3-8 stretch. Since then, the Pacers are
    3-1 and finished the season with 2 consecutive wins, including one against the
    contending OKC Thunder. Two of the games (Milwaukee and Orlando) were essentially
    played by the reserves, so it’s hard to tell whether the Pacers have really turned the
    corner or will continue to struggle.

    Analysis

    On paper, and judging by regular season records, the Pacers should demolish the
    Hawks, as a first seed should do to an 8th seed. But with the Hawks playing well
    despite injuries and the Pacers playing like crap despite health, it won’t be a shock
    to find a lot of people who believe the Hawks can pull off an upset.

    The two teams split their regular season series 2-2, with each team winning once on
    the road. Though the Hawks don’t have Al Horford, Paul Millsap remains a nightmare,
    as does Jeff Teague. In fact, the entire Hawks team provides matchup problems for
    the Pacers because they like to shoot from the outside, with Kyle Korver being
    particularly deadly. That negates the Pacers’ biggest strengths, which are interior
    defense, rim protection, and funneling opponents towards the big fella in the middle.

    We’ve seen what Antic can do, and he was apparently the reason Hibbert only played
    9 minutes the last time these two teams met. “Matchup problems,” as coach Vogel
    called it.

    So the big question remains whether the Pacers can regain some of their unstoppable
    early season form that pushed them to a 33-7 record to start the season. If they can,
    then there’s nothing for Pacers fans to worry about. But it’s a big IF. As many analysts
    have pointed out, the Pacers drop off has been staggering. Historical. More than
    “norm” than a “slump.” Since the All-Star break they have had the worst offense in
    the league apart from the Philadelphia 76ers, which, as Grantland’s Zach Lowe put it,
    the worst among real NBA teams.

    That said, history has shown that teams who play well entering the playoffs don’t
    necessarily play well in the playoffs, and teams who struggle heading into the
    playoffs don’t necessarily continue to struggle. It really is a clean slate, and it’s the
    same reason why no one is seriously concerned about the Miami Heat’s near-equally
    bad end to the season.

    Chase Thomas: Analyzing the Hawks vs. Pacers series

    The Hawks find themselves the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference which means a
    trip to Indiana to face the Pacers in the first round. We breakdown the match-ups and
    what to expect in this first-round series.


    The Hawks will travel to Indiana on Sunday to take on the Pacers at 1 PM (TNT) to begin
    their first-round series. Atlanta has played Indiana four times this season to an even 2-2
    split, with each team winning both home games. The Hawks will have to break that
    trend and get a road victory if they are to move on to the second round. The good news,
    beating the Pacers at home is not an impossible task. The Pacers were 30-11 at home
    this year, but have lost three of their last four home games. Indiana possesses about as
    much of a home-court advantage as the Hawks do (IND: 25th in attendance, ATL: 26th)
    which is why this is the 1 PM game on Sunday, and will be "featured" on NBATV on
    Wednesday night (7:30 PM). Here, we will breakdown the key match-ups that will be the
    deciding factors in this series.

    Can the Hawks really upset the Indiana Pacers in the first round? It's plausible, and
    that's what matters.


    For a while it didn't look like the Atlanta Hawks were going to be lucky enough to draw
    the struggling Indiana Pacers in the first round of the 2014 NBA Playoffs.

    But it actually happened.

    I wrote last week about how the Hawks really needed to draw the Pacers rather than
    the Miami Heat. Sure, the Hawks have had moderate success against the Heat. The
    Hawks could have swept their season series with the Heat, but the playoff result would
    have remained the same: eliminated in the 1st round. The Hawks probably aren't going
    to eliminate the Pacers, but what's important is that it's plausible.

    Plausibility is what makes the playoffs a sensational experience for fans. The Golden
    State Warriors weren't going to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals the
    year they upset the Dallas Mavericks in the opening round of the playoffs, but that didn't
    matter. Going into a series knowing the end result makes it hard to get emotionally
    invested as a fan for obvious reasons. If they're not going to advance why get worked
    up for it? I'm not sure there is an easy fix for this.

    This is what makes being an NBA fan hard at times. With the seven game series format
    it's incredibly difficult for lower seeds to advance very far in the postseason. Like
    anything else, there are positive and negative things that come with a format like this.
    So when a matchup like the Pacers vs. Hawks comes along it's important to embrace the
    moment. The Pacers are vulnerable, and the Hawks blew them out on the road not too
    long ago. Where this hope, there is excitement. This playoff matchup encompasses both.

    In four games against the Pacers this season the Hawks have scored 104.6 points per
    100 possessions while surrendering just 97.3 points per 100 possessions, per NBA.com.
    The Pacers sit alone at the top of the league in defensive efficiency. Their offensive
    inefficiencies, however, has plagued the team for months now. In a vacuum, the Pacers
    defensive metrics should...CONTINUE READING AT PEACHTREE HOOPS

    2013-2014 Playoff Previews: Indiana Pacers vs. Atlanta Hawks

    The playoffs begin on Saturday, thankfully, which means it’s that lovely time of spring
    (and it is spring, right? It’s not going to snow again, is it?) when the minds behind Ball
    Don’t Lie offer you their thoughts on the upcoming pairings in the first round of the
    NBA’s postseason.

    Kelly Dwyer’s Old Grey Whistle Test

    One year ago, the Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks met in a first-round series that was
    ridiculed for its boring play, Indiana’s inability to close out what felt like a lesser Hawks
    squad, and its relegation to the NBA TV end of things rather than a more nationally
    sponsored showcase.

    This... this doesn’t figure to change in 2014.

    Indiana, at its best, is a fearsome outfit. They admirably paid tribute to its own fans
    and own potential while coming out of the gates swinging last autumn, restating a point
    with both words and play the team treated home-court advantage throughout the
    Eastern Conference bracket as a priority, an understandable goal considering the outfit’s
    Game 7 loss in Miami to the Heat in 2013. The Pacers held the NBA’s best record for a
    goodly chunk of the season’s first half, it more than held its own in both Indianapolis and
    Miami meetings with the defending champs, and it finished the season with both the top
    seed in the East and a 35-6 record at home.

    It also finished the season on a 23-19 run, hardly a mark befitting a championship
    contender working with a healthy starting lineup and designs on knocking off the two-
    time champion Heat. Its offense sunk terribly, its particulars whined and moaned about
    each other on record to the media, and its top players fell off in ways that made the
    midseason summations of their respective seasons seem almost laughable in retrospect.

    Paul George won’t be battling Kevin Durant and LeBron James for All-NBA honors, much
    less MVP honors. Lance Stephenson doesn’t feel like much of a fringe All-Star anymore.
    Roy Hibbert may even lose out to Joakim Noah for Defensive Player of the Year honors,
    something that seemed unthinkable even a few weeks ago.

    And the Atlanta Hawks? They’re not exactly a needed salve, sent from on high to
    straighten Indiana’s ship.

    The Hawks split the season series with Indiana, with one midseason contest working as
    just the Pacers’ seventh loss in 35 tries, and it’s very much possible Atlanta’s 107-88
    triumph over Indiana from earlier in April acted as the Pacers’ low point. Indiana scored
    just 23 points in the first half of that contest, and partially as a result Indiana coach
    Frank Vogel decided to wipe his entire starting five off the books for the team’s next
    contest in Milwaukee, a borderline unprecedented move for a team whose status as the
    top overall seed was still in question.

    The Pacers responded with a win over those Bucks, in a way, because they were
    eventually blown...CONTINUE READING AT BALL DON'T LIE

    Matt Dollinger: Can stumbling Pacers handle Hawks?

    Matchup: No. 1 Indiana Pacers (56-26) vs. No. 8 Atlanta Hawks (38-44)
    Season Series: Tied 2-2
    Efficiency Rankings: IND (22nd offense, 1st defense), ATL (15th offense, 15th defense)

    The Matchup
    Few things seemed more inevitable this season than an Eastern Conference finals
    rematch between the Heat and Pacers. That is, until last month, when everything that
    made the Pacers the best team in the first half of the season vanished without a trace.
    Indiana went 8-10 in March, saw its tight-knit group ripped apart by poor play on the
    floor and bickering off it, and looked like a team in turmoil.

    The Hawks, meanwhile, rebounded from losing 14 of 15 games in February and March
    to stave off the Knicks for the No. 8 seed despite the absence of two-time All-Star
    center Al Horford. Indiana and Atlanta met in the first round of the playoffs last season,
    when the Pacers triumphed 4-2.

    The Case For The Pacers
    Even for a team in disarray, the Pacers are staggering favorites to beat the Hawks in a
    seven-game series. They have more talent and experience, the league's No. 1 defense
    (96.7 points allowed per 100 possessions) and an avalanche of motivation (or is it
    pressure?) after falling one game short of the Finals last season and stumbling into the
    playoffs this year.

    Indiana appeared to turn the corner with an encouraging win over the Thunder last
    Sunday, but a single victory can't erase doubts created by a month's worth of poor play.
    Indiana's defense declined and offense deteriorated in recent weeks, but there's reason
    to believe that the Pacers will still handle Atlanta. The Hawks give up size at every
    position and lack an imposing shot-blocker, which should allow the Pacers to do what
    they do best: Bully opponents and dominate the paint.

    The Case For The Hawks
    Atlanta beat Indiana twice this season, including their most recent meeting, on April 6,
    when the Hawks held the Pacers to a franchise-low 23 points in the first half. One player
    in particular who has given...CONTINUE READING AT THE POINT FORWARD

        Time to play with some force. No excuses, no tired play, no bored play, no distractions, no whining to the refs, no *****ing, just come out and play hard for 48 minutes. Haven't seen that in a few months, if this team has it at all anymore the time is right now. This should be a four game series. These Hawks are one of the weaker teams to ever be in the NBA playoffs.

                My furniture shudders at the thought of potentially two months of Pacers playoffs. Let's ****ing go. We've been waiting all season for this. No ****ing around, now.

                  They might have the best player in the series (Pero Antic), but we have the better TEAM.

                      Bill Simmons is SUCH a DOUCHE

                            "So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
