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.

Before the update I had about 2-3 medals, but now they are gone...I feel that my contributions have been for nothing without any representation. Is there a way to fix this or am I for ever on, medal-less.

I get a lot of requests to join a group here on CoDz. Mainly from new members. The WWK, or What We Know Research Group (dark blue) would be the one you should be looking to join. In order to be accepted into that group you must research a topic and provide a detailed writeup, complete with images/videos/sources/etc... If you are curious about what one should look like you can go to the homepage, http://callofdutyzombies.com/home and look at the articles under the Der Riese tab. Now something that I am been trying to get members to do is to so what we did for Der Riese, for Shi No Numa. So if you want to be in the WWK, I would like to see you do a writeup on d…

I understand the issue with mobile browsing is a concern to those using mobile devices (which is a lot) - I apologise if you feel you have been neglected it's not been my or our top priority recently. However, we are nearly done with the optimisation of things and this will significantly increase the speed at which the site response, we will be making further improvements but what we have done is for the benefit of mobile browsing as well. So what we are doing next is looking into the responsiveness side of the site, why it's crashing (which it shouldn't now) and making sure that the site does respond as it was intended to do so. We do have a mobile version of the deskt…

Hey friendos! Nobody likes being in the dark...unless you're Richtofen. That's why the staff has decided to do monthly public updates with the entire community to keep everyone alert on what's been happening around the forums. Think of it like your daily newspaper! Except, monthly...and not a paper...and there's no delivery boy on a bicycle to through it at your window so you could hobble outside and yell "blasted whippersnapper!". In these updates, we'll showcase all the newest additions to the site, changes (including some backend work - like a Behind The Scenes experience), and also works-in-progress. It's like being omnipotent, but on CoDz! …

I was working on a thread with someone, and the idea came into my head, why can't we list more authors? I'm not sure if this is necessarily possible, or how it could be done, but if a maximum of 3 people are largely involved in a thread, they can be listed as authors in the forum it's posted in. Then when brains are given for the post, not just the person who physically made the thread will get brains, but everyone that was involved. Just an idea, discuss if you wish.

I just want an overview of when you want the first real get together, obviously some of you will want to play the Campaign, some try out survival and spec ops as well before moving to multiplayer, some will want to get a grasp of Multiplayer before we play as a group and some will want to get geared up straight away! Obviously I'm not saying this playdate will be completely centred on multiplayer, I for one will want to play survival with soem people on this site. And there will be limitations, obviously some will not get MW3 straight away or will have delayed postal services (a collegue of mine waited 17 days extra for Gears 3 due to a postal error :twisted: ) …

This is just a disclaimer so everyone can know where I am at.... So as most of you know I now work at Treyarch, and because of that I had to relinquish my ownership of this site. I have passed on admin and financial responsibilities to Covert, Lissa and probably another person once Covert takes a break. So just so we are all clear, in terms of CoDz, I am simply the founder. The guy who built this site from the ground up and the creator of callofdutyzombies.com. I no longer run this site on a day to day basis. Ok, I just want to make sure that is clear to everyone. I wasn't expecting Lamia to confirm zombies so early in the year, however he has, so it is no longe…

Hey everyone. I figured I would let you all know about my upcoming absence. Some of you will have already known about this because I announced it a while ago, but I might as well explain it again. For roughly the next 2 years I will be serving a religious mission for my church. I will be serving in the Everett Washington mission beginning this next month. I leave to enter the MTC, or the Missionary Training Center, next Tuesday July 31st. Even though I don't leave till next Tuesday, I will be following mission rules beginning this upcoming Sunday night. What that means is that after Sunday night I will no longer be able to get on the computer or my phone, play games,…

I think that since we have to share a server with other sites we need our own. We get quite a bit of traffic now and the site keeps going down because we are hogging the server. So I am looking into buying a dedicated server. These can be kind of expensive, but it will be better then paying for hosting I suppose. Anyway so ya let me know what you think, if you know anything about dedicated servers please feel free to post some advice, suggestions, etc... If we get this going I will be adding a new tier to CoDz for ViP's.... people who pay a subscription and will get all kinds of benefits. This wiill help pay for the server. I don't mind paying some, but I w…

A new update to the site is due out in the next few weeks, this is a feature release rather than a "bug" release. Unfortunately, we still have no information relating to User of The Month of Medals but we are working hard to ensure these return soon. This is a new software / feature released 4.1.0 and brings in some pretty hefty changes, some you'll like, some you may not (at first). Fear not though, I have been using the beta version of it for a few weeks and just put it live on our test site. So without further ado, what is changing? New menu We haven't discussed this as a team yet, whether to go with a double menu (now standard) or a single menu or if we keep this …

Over the course of four and a half years we've had a great legacy of administrators for the site including @carbonfibah, @julez, @lissa110, @AlphaSnake, @Phantom, @Strwrsbob, and myself. Each has risen through the ranks showing leadership qualities that become noticed and utilized. They excel in each facet of their responsibilities and are incredibly supportive of the website and community we have established here. Each and every one of them has poured heart and soul and immense amounts of time into bettering the website to make it the best Zombies community out there. It is because of these legacy administrators that the site has become what it has today. Unfortunately, …

Hello all! As Call of Duty Zombies continues to progress and be improved upon, our staff members have to increasingly take on new responsibilities and tasks. Some of those responsibilities represent a significant portion of holding together the back bone and essential structure of the site. As such, it can become too much work for just one or two Administrators and a handful of Moderators. We begin to spread ourselves too thin between our Staff duties as well as our paid employment, families, and leisure time. With the introduction of numerous new and innovative features to the site in the last few weeks, and as we look forward to a time period in which we may…

So, it launches in the UK in 2.5hrs, has launched in other countries already (I think with the timezones) and everyone is getting hyped about it. Not only is it a new CoD from Sledgehammer IT HAS ZOMBIES well, it has what I would call an infected mode within survival ala World War Z but they are still zombies, just not the game mode we are used too from Treyarch. Anyway, we have now made available the Advanced Warfare callofdutyzombies skin, if you wish to use this you can, simply select "advanced warfare skin from the change theme option. Here's a few screenshots for you all. Hope you all enjoy the skin and if you spot anything, let…

I have been working diligently over the past several hours on a new theme for the CoDz homepage. http://callofdutyzombies.com/home So far it is coming along nicely. There are a ton of new features, updated components, modules and plugins available. I am messing around with it right now, but it is something I plan on keeping. If you have any ideas of ways to improve, let me know. Also, if any of you are interested in some new features, feel free to find some! I use Joomla 1.5, so any module or plugin that fits that requirement is fair game.

Hi.. i'll just get straight to it. CoDz needs a new server provider. The current one takes nearly a minute to load a new page of a thread. I've never had to work with high-bandwith sites before, and I havent used this provider, but i definatly think this provider is worth checking out: http://www.ipage.com/web-hosting Any discussion?
