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.

Hey Guys, The staff have been considering how to further increase the social aspect of this site, and an idea being discussed is regularly streamed events/playdates. Nothing is decided and we are looking for options. This plugin has been installed and this is an example of what it would look like on the site. An applet is also available which lists various different stream names and who is live currently. http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php?app=livestreams&module=streams§ion=stream&stream=3 We are looking for people who have the capability to stream and go into a somewhat rolling rota for official streams. Any other su…

Well, wow, what can I say - not a lot to be honest apart from niiiiiiiice Now, I'm not taken any credit for it, well, I might take the credit for adding the link and uploading the files etc but that's about as far as I go with it. Credit for this goes to Infestlithium and the team that put this together, an excellent addition to the callofdutyzombies.com site. So what is it, what is it for? Well basically speaking, it's a full website, given information on the maps, easy access to the easter egg information and so forth. It also advises on the UoTM on the main index page and it also has a news article from CoDz as well. This will be updated, it will give you n…

Now, I'm not saying that these will be implemented as it's really not my decision but I was thinking for the photoshop users among us. Would you be interested in designing some smileys CoD Zombies related? They need to be the same size as the current emoticons and they need to be suitable for dark backgrounds. Anyone fancy the challenge, the more the merrier.

If you're reading this, then congratulations, you have no or few medals! Unfortunately, when we switched to the new forum software, we lost all of medal data. Although we have added the medals into the new database, everyone's medal collection has been reset. Some people have had some of their medals awarded, but not all of them. If you are missing medals, click here to go to the Medal Request Thread or send me a PM to re-request your medals. Just state that you're missing some medals and we'll award them to you. Again, sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully, the new forum makes up for it. -Flammen

Thank you for your patience of the last few days, whilst the forum has been in maintenance mode. As you can see I have been extremely busy updating the forum to a new software and bring back somethings you liked that unfortunately broke on the previous forum. So what's the same? Well, all the topics, posts, usernames, profiles, signatures (although may need updated) are all the same, profile pictures have also been transferred when it has been possible to do so. Unfortunately not all profile pictures have transferred. So please check and update you're profile. The forum is now using 87% of the width of your screen. So what's new?

Hey everyone; it's pretty common knowledge that our host is not the most reliable, with all the downtime we've had in the past. While the staff is diligently researching various hosting options for the future, it'd be great to have your guys' input, those of you who know what the best hosting services happen to be. For now, we are not expecting a lot of traffic, due to the nature of the offseason, but it'd be preferable to have something that is easily upgrade-able when the time comes. Any recommendations, professional or otherwise well-researched, would be greatly appreciated. Happy Holidays, Ehjookayted AKA EyeCntSpel~

Here are the Twitter names for the staff members of CoDz! These could come in handy if the site goes down and you need a way to contact us. Contacting a staff member via Twitter in some cases will yield a faster response than a Private Message, as well.

Hello everyone, First I'd like to sincerely apologize for the extended downtime that CoDz has had for the past few days. This is largely due to some issues my fellow administrator Lissa110 has had. Without expanding too much, I completely understand her situation and I'll always ensure she is in a good place before worrying about the status of this site. That said, it's now extremely evident to me that steps must be taken to ensure that this scenario doesn't happen again. I'm currently discussing options with Lissa and several other staff members, and look forward to resolving this issue and moving into the future with everyone still being a part of this site.…

On Saturday November 2nd, I will be participating in a charity through work to help raise money for Children's Hospitals. I chose to support the Boston Children's Hospital. Since this is through work and video game related I decided that the game I'm going to play for 25 hours is Call Of Duty Zombies. Since it's a long time to play I will be playing World At War, Black Ops and Black Ops II Zombies to keep it interesting with lots of content. I will be asking you guys, the zombies community to join up throughout the day and play some zombies with me in my open lobbies. (I will be playing on Xbox 360) I will also be streaming it all live via my Twitch.…

It's time that CoDz gets a new avatar, so we'll be holding a contest! However, there is no guarantee that there will be a winner chosen. If there is no avatar that blows our minds, we will not be changing either the YouTube avatar or Twitter picture. Submissions to the contest will close on August 21. The winner, or lack thereof, will be decided shortly after. Thanks to everyone for the ideas and the help with finalizing everything. First, the rules. [*:9pvqi1f5]Must include Call of Duty Zombies or CODZ somewhere in the picture. [*:9pvqi1f5]Must be under 700 KB in size (no exceptions, upload the [*:9pvqi1f5]Must be of equal length and width …

Just wanted to mention a cool shout out Jimmy Zielinski made on his twitter account yesterday in reference to CoDz being down a day or two ago. Our older members know that Jimmy and the guys follow our forum very closely. While we try to reiterate this concept to our new members, and that your opinion truly does matter to the guys, it's sometimes forgotten. Well here's some more proof. Jimmy Z links OUR forum directly on his page. Much respect Jimmy. We'll keep it up! Let this simply serve as a reminder to our members, that if you have an opinion or idea on zombies, Treyarch is listening. We have a direct connection with the guys that produce the game…
