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've been playing Black Ops on Vetran for the past couple weeks while I'm waiting for Escalation to hit PS3. It's WAAAY hard, but it's loads of fun. Anyway, I've been Easter Egg hunting the entire time and picking up all the intel that I never got to. I've discovered several things. Some I've debunked, some I haven't. Right now I'm on the mission where you play as Hudson trying to get to Mason before he kills Steiner. It's on Rebirth Island...which I guess they used to make map "Five" in zombies. After the mission is complete, you go to a sort of "in-between" section of the stage where Mason is freed from his chair but knocks Hudson out and tries to escape. Mason is wo…

So, we all know that wager match, sticks and stones. Some call it a pastime, tradition. And others call it a mistake, disgrace. I lean far toward tradition. I play sticks and stones LOTS and am a raging beast at it. Now for my petition, MOTHER F*$!ING KNIFERS! Some people only go around using the melee. Melee gives you 25 points while tomahawks give you 10 and bankrupt the person. I HATE THIS Tomahawks are so much harder to do than melee, I can do both excessively well, but I just prefer tomahawking more. Can we please make a tomahawk kill more points than a melee? Because it is just plain ridiculous. And also, I feel lik…

Basically, there was a project during the Cold War to build a massive radar that could detect things from over the horizon. heres some info from wikipedia: Cobra Mist was the codename for an Anglo-American experimental over-the-horizon radar station at Orford Ness, Suffolk, England. It was known technically as AN/FPS-95, and sometimes referred to as System 441a, a reference to the project as a whole. Cobra Mist was part of a small number of "Cobra" long-range surveillance radars operated by the U.S. The project was plagued by noise problems that could not be identified, and the project was shut down in 1973. The site and buildings are now occupied by a broadcast trans…

With all the talk about this new website encoding documents talking about our government and brainwashing and all that well that gave me a great idea. If and i mean IF zombies or something of that nature is included in COD;BO, then what if it went like this. They can be 6 players. You are all chosen by the government for a secret experiment. They are messing with new technology in the cold war and they think they have figured out a way to create alternate realities. They give you some experimental drug which puts your mind at a "almost dead" state. You and your five "comrads" are now throw into a mtrix like reality in which you look like yourself and all …

Is anyone else having problems with Havana? Every time I try to play this map online, it says fastfile is corrupt or can't be read, or it just freezes my ps3. Also there are texture problems on some walls and vehicles on the map when I do actually get to play it. Anyone else having these problems?

I know this is in the wrong section but i just want to get it out there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SNT4Zs4RpU He does make it clear,in modern games theres should be more button mapping in games for people such as disabled gamers. I myself have also heard alot of problems from people doing simple things such as fire and use there sights as well. Hopefully you will sign the petition and maybe it could even happen for black ops but still,it is something that should be implented in alot of games. Heres the link to petition http://www.petitiononline.com/cu5t0m/petition.html

Ever since the release of black ops I have not been able to join my friends game invites and they can't join mine. We have tried SO many times and I am getting so annoyed I feel like throwing black ops out the window. But I don't want that to happen... I have a PS3. Have a NAT type of moderate. All my friends have a NAT type of either moderate or open. I am wondering if it is something I need to change or something Treyarch needs to fix. Any help or suggestions would be great help! Thanks! :D

Hey everyone, I got a new article today and I finally found out the TRUTH about what SOG means. The article states, and I quote : "An overarching narrative ties all of these disparate events together, as told through the eyes of the two high-ranking characters you embody, Mason and Hudson. Your characters will be just like that, in fact, with voices and faces, unlike your avatars in the Modern warfare titles. And since you're part of SOG (the military's unconventional warfare task force, the Studies and Observations Group), you'll also be the high-ranking bastard on the battlefield (read: "Gimme the keys to that jeep, soldier.") Studies and Observations Gro…

I tried mygamercard.net to see if there were any Treyarch people playing BO. But they all (as far I know about their GT's) had privacy settings enabled. But in the preview, it showed Major Nelson, playing an unknown game. Black Ops maybe? E: On the site, when you hovered over the unknown game, it was called '?'.
