CoDz Code of Conduct
Listed below is the Code of Conduct.
Please don't just read numbered points and say "I'd never advertise!" and skip over it, because there are things you may not realize are categorized as advertising, or anything else, that are and you might have already broken them. If you have any questions regarding this, please ask, and have a good time and be sure to follow the rules!
1. ADVERTISING [ADV]:
Rule: Advertising to other users inside the CoDz Forum, whether it be via a post, personal message, or profile/signature links, to buy or view any products, websites, or other service is strictly prohibited. Non-intrusive links in signatures to personal YouTube accounts may be allowed, but that is case-to-case and each will be reviewed individually.
Consequence: The infringing user’s account will be banned, as well as the IP address. Any post with the intentions of advertising will be immediately and permanently deleted.
Example: If you are a spam bot, a hired advertiser, or a desperate website/business owner, this may apply to you. Signing up and making your only post a promotion for your zombie gameplay YouTube channel is breaking the rule. However simply sending links to a fellow forum goer who wants to know where to buy a capture card is not breaking this rule, PMing your buddy a link to a funny YouTube video isn't, etc.
2. DOUBLE ACCOUNTS [DBLE]:
Rule: Creating another account when a a user already has one account on CoDz is not allowed. There is little to no need for a separate account. If you've forgotten your password and need access back to your main account, use the Forgot Password link. Should there be a logical reason outside of forgetting credentials for the double account, contact a staff member immediately with details of the situation..
Consequence: The secondary account created by the original user will be permanently banned given with evidence of double accounts. In addition, the original account held by the user will be temporarily banned as well. Using the secondary account to avoid a suspension/ban on the main account will result in both accounts being permanently banned.
Example: A user creates a double account because they've been banned. If that account matches up the original user and no case has been made to the staff about the reason for the double account, both accounts will be banned after contacting the user.
3. SPAMMING [SPAM]: Spamming is defined as many things, and all of them aren’t allowed. As a CoDz user, you should hold yourself to a high standard and use common sense when posting.
Duplicate Posts -
Rule: Creating a thread that discusses a topic that has already been brought up in another thread is generally frowned upon, as each user is responsible for finding the pre-existing thread and making their remarks there. Cross-posting violations (making more than one post of the same question/answer across multiple forums) is prohibited.
Consequence: The infringing duplicate thread will be either merged (with the original thread), locked, or deleted, depending on the situation. When dealing with two duplicate threads, the staff will sometimes exercise their own personal judgement with regard to the thread’s posts, to avoid conversations being broken up and posts losing their cohesion, as all the comments in both threads are merged and arranged by the date they were posted.
Cross-posting violations will be dealt with by deleting all cross-posted threads. Users are responsible for figuring out the appropriate section in which to post their topic. If you have any trouble you may ask any staff member for advice!
We always welcome PMs from the users!
Example: If two threads are created that both discuss the exact same element of a newly released Zombie Map trailer, they become ‘duplicate posts’, as they consist of identical, or very similar, material. However, if someone makes a thread about, for example, who they think the Pentagon Thief is, and then someone else makes a thread in which they argue that it is actually someone completely different, they would not be breaking the rule.
Moreover, if someone made a thread that came to the same conclusion as the first user’s thread did, it still wouldn’t necessarily break the rule, as long as they brought new evidence to the table (or reevaluated old evidence) while doing so. If they reach the same conclusion, then they will be merged, in which case the older thread will remain, and the newer thread will become a reply to the older post.
Post Pumping -
Rule: Any user that makes a post just to increase their own post count is considered disruptive to the community, and is interfering with the other members’ usage of the CoDz forum.
Consequence: Violations will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis - some users will be warned verbally by PM, others may receive an official warning, and posts/threads may also be deleted (which will make your post count drop again!). Repeat offenders will suffer a Permanent Ban of their account on the forum.
Example: If a user makes a post saying “I agree,” or “We know,” or something similar and they do not further the conversation or productivity of the thread, that would be grounds for deletion of the post. The specific details of post pumping are left for staff to decide case-by-case, as there are a broad range of possibilities, which are quite dependent on the circumstances.
4. FLAMING [FLAME]:
Rule: Posts, signatures, avatars, or PMs that are intended to harass, threaten, embarrass or cause the distress or discomfort to another member of the CoDz Forum Community or any other individual or entity is unacceptable. (For this reason, the emoticon known as “facepalm” has been removed from the forum.)
Consequence: In some cases, warnings may be issued, but flaming is likely to result in Permanent Banning. It is therefore advisable to always be respectful to your fellow members; this does not mean you cannot disagree with someone, but you do not need to tear a person down in order to prove your point, so be careful with sarcasm! The response “I was only joking” will not get you much sympathy.
Example: If a user says to another on the forum that they are stupid, dumb, illogical, incompetent, etc., that is an example of a user tearing another down, and is considered to be ‘flaming’. Even sarcastically saying “Wow, you’re a bright one, aren’t you..” or “Did you figure that out on your own?” would qualify as a form of harassment.
5. OFFENSIVE CONTENT [OFF]:
Rule: Using offensive language in any context is not allowed here at the CoDz Forum. We believe that our intelligent members can make their points and offer their contributions WITHOUT the necessity of vulgarities. Included in this would be racism, sexism, or any other form of discrimination that may end up causing the distress or discomfort of a user or any group in general. Along with offensive language, displaying or linking to offensive content is not allowed at CoDz. Please be sensitive towards others and how they may react to sensitive material.
Consequence: Posts, signatures, or profiles containing offensive language, content, or links will be edited and/or deleted by the Forum Moderators and Warnings will be issued as appropriate. Repeat violations of this policy may result in more severe actions, up to and including Permanent Banning.
Example: You can come up with your own examples for sensitive language, I trust we all have at least a few in our heads, but simply starring out a letter or putting a strike through the word does not excuse its usage, such as f*ck, sh*t, etc. An example of offensive content could be an avatar of the Twin Towers falling with the caption “Burn baby burn!” This is very offensive to many people, and although it may not be so to you, please respect the feelings of other users.
Examples of offensive links include Pornographic, Racial, Defamation, or any other derogatory content. If it does not pass our CoC do not link to it on our site.
6. SIGNATURES [SIG]:
Rule: A user’s signature may only be 5 lines high, 15 pixels high per line and 65 pixels wide per line. A signature must follow all of the above guidelines concerning offensive language and material, and also concerning advertising.
Consequence: If a user creates a signature that violates the above rules, they will first be contacted and asked to change their signature. If they do not comply, someone will change it for them. Particularly horrid offenses will be dealt with by staff in an appropriate manner.
Example: A “good” signature could contain a few links to some threads (as long as they follow previous rules), zombie round numbers, a small image, or something personal, such as a saying or quote. A “bad” signature would contain any annoying “flashy” .GIFs, or any content that would not comply with previous CoC rules.

I just had this idea for multiplayer that might help get rid of people going into objective game modes like Domination, going only for kills. I was thinking that in objective game modes, going for the objective would actually go towards your killstreak rewards. Such as how in Domination, when you capture a flag, it gives you 150 XP. That ends up being equivalent to three kills in that game mode, so it would count that towards your killstreak. Obviously Killstreak rewards would need to be raised due to this, but what do you guys think? Good idea? Bad Idea? Suggestions? (Please be the first one )

I think either last week or earlier this week I went to the Call of Duty forums and on the PS3 section everybody was complaining about lag I thought it wasnt that bad on my end but this weekend.....Oh my god!!! I used to be able to play domination with a group of 9 and now we cant. We kept getting seperated, or Host Migration would happen very frequently. When I played solo, same thing would happen. Its almost unplayable with all that lag. Hopefully the new update will fix this

So I was looking into deciphering the code Cosmic Silverback left in the chat yesterday and came across this site.... http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/decoding/ I thought nothing of it at first, but it's a coincidence that's it's a site dedicated to deciphering and encoding secret Nazi ciphers and codes. It's called Nova Online.....and as I read further the first paragraph is... "Welcome to the companion Web site to "Decoding Nazi Secrets," a two-hour NOVA special that chronicles how the Allies succeeded in cracking the infamous German message-coding machine, the Enigma. The program was originally broadcast on November 9, 1999. Here's what you'll find online:" …

I came across this interesting bit of news whilst visiting one of my usual gaming websites, and it looks to be perhaps that Sam Worthington will be voicing the character Mason. Surely we should all know who Sam Worthington by now (you know that little film called Avatar ). Although Treyarch has yet to announced it offically, still rather cool that they seemed to of grabbed another big name, and an Aussie to boot . Edit: To back up the rumour/ unofficial confirmation, if you note that Black Ops on IMDB hasn't listed as to who is voicing Mason might be a clear indicator. Perhaps Treyarch waiting to announce it pretty soon to get some more hype in before releas…

Just had a thought about dead ops mode (not based on fact ,just pondering) could it be alternative single player campaign play as some one who dies in the main story, so in dead ops you play a alternative reality where they don't die . As I say its just my personal speculation , thoughts?

Should treyarch use community ideas from day one? For the next (treyarch) cod game? Yes but, before that happens we need to know if treyarch is gonna either continue the black ops storyline and stay within the cold war era or go to a different era in history. they have to continue black ops, how many more battles have the us been apart of in history? continueing it would allow them to add on to customization and get every last detail perfected. So anyway if they continue black ops, here's some question's we should discuss 1. should they ship the game in two discs? since black ops disc was so cramped full with epicness. (one disc with multipl…

1).The party system, I can never play with a group of friends bigger than 2 or 3 because for some reason only a few of us actualy get into the game lobby and the rest lag out. 2). There needs to be an option on zombies to only search for people with mics in gamechat (aslong os you are aswell). It is so fustrating being placed with a noob who all they do is open the wrong doors, kill crawlers and pick up max ammo when we are all still reloading. 3) Sound. I have been using a headset since World at war and I rely very much on hearing footsteps, bouncing of stun grenades, people placing clamores etc. But now these seem to make no noise at all.

So recently my Black Ops disc got a nice crack in it(Stepped on Case :oops: ) and ever since I have been looking for a new copy, and online prices are insane, Gamestop selling used for $55, and other sites selling new for about the same price. If anyone can find me a good deal on the game [brains] for you. (I would buy new but I need to save my $$$ for the new maps) Edit: I just bought the game from Gamestop online(had some cuopons) I traded in some games was able to make the money. The best part is, I will now have enough Powerup points to get 1600msp for the maps So a mod can now lock this thread if they want.
