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.

ok, i havent posted in awhile and dont have time to search around but i havent heard much on this topic, so my straight forward question is, ''will there be gore like W@W in BLACK OPS?'' because i dont want the same crappy ragdoll effect with no blood from MW2, treyarch is different from IW because of the gore level and the OTT action! so id like to know about this. Thankyou for your time, Michael. P.S - any idea on a release date for a co-op trailer, i was lookin forward to it on friday but to no avail :facepalm:

Hey what's up guys! I just found this online and thought it was pretty cool. It didn't have the decals on the Jeep in the picture so I wonder what it might have. Think they might hand out copies of BO with each purchase? It's the least they could do. It's $30,000! I thought the Prestige edition was a lot! http://blogs.wsj.com/drivers-seat/2010/ ... s-vehicle/ PSN: Flatlander929

Ok if you haven't seen, you can customize a lot of your persona on CoD BO, so much that they say this: So... Why don't we make a clan of 'CoDz' then put it everywhere so this site get more info. Who says this ain't a great idea? We'll also be able to see people from this site more easily which would be nice... to bump into annother CoDz member. Keep the emblem as your own, just put codz as your clan.... oh here's the vid... heads up to phillips445 for finding this w0_r4-eTmlA

http://www.gametrailers.com/episode/bon ... ?ch=2&sd=1 I noticed that he said about the first trailer that you play as the character, and all the missions are flashbacks... so? Look at the room. remind you of anywhere (cough, gknova6) yes, and when you look at the achievements it says: escape the past... ahem. So i'm guessing gknova capture you, interigate (via electrocution "next time we'll use a higher voltage" ) etc etc, story, then escape! because of gknova6 this is actually the bit im most exited about, will it be a no action just sit there and not do much like the escape in AC2 or MW2 last mission? or will it be a REAL mission, say, the epilog…

EDIT After now playing Black Ops all of the views shown here are invalid :roll: Basically after watching some of the BO leaked Beta gameplay (sorry couldn't help myself :roll: ) I am pretty worried about the MP. From what I saw alot of the guns (Especially SMG's - almost reminscient of MP40 :cry: ) were overpowered, in that they look to kill VERY fast. Even a clip I saw with a Sniper made the game look almost easy.. I know some people may think thats fine but im a little dissapointed. After playing alot of WaW I thought I knew what to expect - in the main underpowered weapons, meaning that usually skilled players came out on top. However after watching this foo…

EDIT/NOTE: Black Ops is NOT Gold yet, meaning NO retailer has even 1 copy of the game and it is being pressed, only the company in charge of the pressing would be likely to have a copy. I would STILL like your opinions though. I want to go to my local Gamestop, and ask them if they have any early copies of Black Ops. If they do, I'm going to ask them for one, saying, "I'm a Cancer Survivor and I almost lost my leg to a tumor. I had internal bleeding and I had Chemotherapy practically all last year. Chemotherapy is basically like having the stomach flu x 20. Just think of throwing up every 5 seconds, and feeling all your energy just getting drained out of you. There…

So I was looking at Josh Olin's twitter JD_2020 and someone asked: Josh Olin then responded saying: Once he said that I started looking through all the Black Ops Multiplayer Trailers and found one in the Customization trailer. Here is a picture of what level 50 would look like without prestiging: Then here is a picture of being level 50 when you have prestiged: Notice the difference between them? My guess is that it is the first prestige emblem you can get because everyone else who was playing in the trailers was at a low level so maybe that person was one of the first people to prestige before anyone else. I think this emblem …

Hi CODz community, First post from a far-from-first-time-member. Been browsing the site since zombies came out, I used to be JezusSaurusRex on here but I guess my account isn't active on the CODz forum anymore. I just got back from sitting in rush hour traffic for an hour to hear a GameStop employee say, "We aren't taking anymore hardened edition preorders," followed by the other employee working saying, "And neither are any other GameStops." Right then my heart sank... I'd been waiting it out to preorder and somehow I wait until the day zombies gets announced. Yet, its still almost a month and a half before the release date. The employees suggested I buy the pre…
