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.

Here is a mashed up Theory. Remember This id for my subscribers so basically I was just putting a idea out there for them to discuss.

it would be a very creative yet fascinating twist in the Zombie storyline. And be sure to include more references to the nazi vril to explain why they wanted to contact another dimension. 8-)

Mars?
by fisher10190- 23 replies

So there's been a lot of speculation regarding whether or not the next map for the zombies storyline will take place on Mars or not. In all honesty, it seems like the closest decision, considering Mars would open up a whole new world of possibilities for the zombies storyline (As would any foreign planet). I just think it would be the most obvious choice, however, i think that if they used something a little more mysterious, say like that strange planet in that asteroid field that they named "Planet X", it could end up being a very epic story addition. Since no one really knows much about that planet, they could use their creativity in whole new ways! It would open up LOA…

Alright so I don't think anyone has ever really mentioned this quote before. It's from Dempsey in Shangri-La, upon buying the M16. "Ah, the M16. Maiming since 1964." 1iWsJODqmBw The quote is at 18:04. The M16 was designed in 1957, and serviced in 1963 (Thanks BBD). I believe Dempsey is talking about when he first used it however. Since Kino der Toten is when he had his first encounter with it, it's possible he is referring back to than. This means Kino could possibly take place in 1964. But The Fernsehturm had not started construction until 1965. And the 1975 note is there as well. So it conflicts with those as to what the true year is. However, I s…

I just thought I'd bring this up early. In the storyline, many members of this site personally know that analyzers of the Zombies storyline is heavily influence by history. We have the Tunguska Event, the Vril novel, and Nazis in general as mere examples. However, this new game, Black Ops 2, is taking place in the 2020's, no? This will be the first confirmed time that the story takes place in the future. This can cause some problems. First, one source claims that the President is a woman. I'll assume it is correct. We must not be misguided by our history. There will now be a clear split in history. From thousands of years B.C.E. to 2011, we will use our history. Howe…

Okay. Since Call of the Dead takes place in the future further than any other map currently created, and I assume they continue the story from Black Ops zombies, and since Moon was the end of Earth, the Crew must go BACK in time and prevent the rockets from propelling into Earth, somehow. Maybe they blow up the Moon? :shock: Speculation is in the air. And I assume you're already going to say something about the girl with the shotgun. My answer to that is maybe it's Richtofen out of the Aether some how. The crew may have figured out how to swap their souls again. Another farfetched reason, is because the longer you have your soul transferred into another human's vessel is…

As we all know the Earth was destroyed. So where in the heck could the setting be from now on? Mars?

I'm sure we've all seen the zombies poster thing, and have wondered how Samantha's body changed (in case you forgot, Samantha, an 8 year old girl, swapped bodys with richtofen, a 40 year old man). One possibility I came up with was that Samantha's spirit caused the body to change from disgusting old man, to HOT GIRL. Thoughts? Comments? Leave them here!

Where we left off, Richtofen has switched body's with Samantha, making him the wielder of the zombies and ultimate power, also unraveling Richtofen's master plan. Maxis made you blow up the earth so that Richtofen couldn't cause any "Further Damage". This leaves Takeo, Tank, Nikolai, and Samantha (In Richtofen's body) to remove Richtofen from power and get Sam back in her own body. Now then, originally, Sam was trying to kill all four of them, so the trick is, will Samantha see in a twist to the story that the other 3 were never bad guys, nor a threat, or will she still try to be killing them? And what maps will we be seeing? Mars? That mysterious planet in the asteroid …

I had came up with an idea (i used some info from OstonedshooterO topic in the Codz forum) and pulled it all together in a video i made. I have uploaded the idea video on my YouTube channel, here is the link to the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV5oCD-VyvA The video contains an interesting theory that i made (with the help of this topic - viewtopic.php?f=100&t=21841). Aliens, a Nuclear World and a storyline on which Treyarch could continue on with. So what do you think. Thanks.

So we can tidy up the story discussion with a lot of repeated questions, I propose all of the questions be put into this thread and answer them here. If you ask, I'll add it to the list and I and other members will try to answer it Also if a mod wants to merge the topics, then so be it also. There are other story questions but I just posted the ones in the story section. bad karma - What happened to Sam? I feel like the poster girl may just be for dramatic effect. Kinda like that Kino(?) poster where the 4 heroes just looked REALLY off and Richtofen was bald bad karma again - Where to next, and how will the story continue? I am kinda for and agains…

We all know (or guess, depending on your mindset) that zombies is about to take a turn for the awesome. But the question on everyone's mind is: what maps will be used, and how will they relate to the storyline? Here is a prediction I have. We've had a snow map, a jungle map, a space map; the only two things we haven't seen are a desert map, or an underwater map. Think about this story wise: the desert map could take place where they tested nuclear weapons, so there might be zombies there with horrible disfigurations. And who's to say that Group 935 didn't have a hand in developing the nuclear bomb. Or, at the very least, fueling it. (115, anyone?) And with an und…

It is my personal belief that the poster is an indication that the Treyarch Zombie team has gone in a whole new direction. I know the following is pretty loose and I am extrapolating from a tiny amount of information and influenced by personal bias, but here we go. First off the story arc. WaW zombies was darn cool but it is my belief that when our group got to Der Reise it was meant to be the end. I mean really, we went to the origin of the zombies. For what it was meant to be the story was done. But it was a really popular game mode so they needed to put it in BOps. So they needed to stretch this thing out. It got really weird and twisted. JMO but w…

Theres no denying it, zombies will return. The only question is 2012 or 2013?? What im curious about is will the gang return? I think they likely will but maybe in a smaller role now on to my reasons why. For starters all of the maps from verruckt onwards that have contained demps&co have had a teaser sample for the next elena song on the game over screen (cotd and five both have different songs and different heroes) moon has no such song. Now im not saying she wont be signing another contract to do some songs for blops2 but she was intentionly left off the moon maps game over screen. I think they will be in the effiel tower map and it could be the conclusion to blop…
