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.

So as a new member of these forums I would like to say a few things. There are some hard working people on this site and I am really grateful for everything they have done on here and the cool zombies info they provide. And in general the people here are much more intelligent and mature that most other places like CoD forums. However, I have been nothing but flamed by older / high posting members of this community when they have zero idea of what they are talking about. I'm not saying I know more than ANYONE about zombies but I do a LOT of research and trail and error doing my own experiments and I damn sure look around and make sure I really believe what I'm posting …

I am looking for trustworthy, smart, and dedicated CoDz members who can take directions and at the same time work on their own. I am basically looking for someone, or multiple people to help with.... CoDz Twitter CoDz Youtube The CoDz youtube side of things is a little more relaxed with freedom, where as the Twitter aspect will be more controlled. If you have any interest in either of these, please post which you are interested in (one or the other) If I think you are qualified, I shall PM you and we can go from there. Possibly a new CoDz forum group will be created for said social media members.

Hey everyone! It's been a while since our staff has made a major announcement like this. I'd like to preface by apologizing for not being nearly as transparent as I'd like to be with these new changes. You may have seen some new things coming our way if you've been watching us closely on Twitter (and receiving our email newsletters the past few months). With this new announcement, we - myself, the staff, and our new friends - are making big changes and want everyone to know what's going on. We're happy to announce that Call of Duty Zombies is officially a part of the Collateral Network! For those out of the loop, CoDZ is now being managed not only …

The forum will be going down for a very short period of time later tonight in order to upgrade the forum software. It should only last just a few minutes, but we wanted to give warning in case it ends up taking longer than we thought. The upgrade will be taking place around 9PM PST. Software upgrades did not work properly, so they will have to be scheduled for another time.

Back in the day when the forums had just underwent the transition into the IPB forum software, we decided to set up a temporary frontpage that most of you have probably seen before. (In fact, you could still access the frontpage here.) With the makeover that this forum got, it was only necessary to re-do the new homepage as well. You may notice that the url "callofdutyzombies.com" will now automatically take you to the Homepage. Because...well, that's what a homepage is for. The new page features a ton of content, such as: Easy article navigating - explore the articles with ease, and even go to different articles while within one Social media sharing - now you can …

So, we went offline today to apply a new update which fixed several bugs and introduced some new features. It was scheduled to take roughly an hour but I opted to take a full directory back up and full SQL database backup separately from the normal backup that is processed (pretty standard before doing any changes). It took longer than I thought to download these files. When we came back online everything was good, minor style issues due to the change and things missed during testing which will be fixed ASAP. I then caused then error with the site downtime after that, due to storage change for images which caused an error with the …

Ok, with our new site, which has an article system, we can start producing more content that can be displayed via the homepage. Before you say "ohhh I want to be a CoDz Writer" know that all your written content must be your own work. So I mean NO plagiarizing, and no changing a few words around so its a little different. I am looking for people who are creative individuals and all around good writers meaning good with spelling, grammar, etc. I am not looking for novels but enough written content that shows you put an effort towards making your article good and worth reading. Of course there will be a new group added for the select few that are chosen. So how c…

This decision hasn't been taken lightly, no move ever is. However, we feel the time is right to make the move to a new server, which will give us more movement, more value for money, better support, better options and less limitations. So we have decided to jump to a new SSD (Solid State Drive) hosted VPS (Virtual Private Server). It is currently running our test development site @ http://www.codztestsite.com and if you wish to pop over and have a look and check out the speed differences then feel to do so. We are still doing some optimisation on it but it is a replica of the current forum from Sunday, we have the pagespeeds pretty good, with some additional optimisatio…

[tab][/tab]As you all are well aware, TranZit is taking us for quite the trip (pun intended) and dragging out the feeling of mystery with the Easter Egg's completion using a myriad of beams of light, glowing orbs, and vague tweets. You'll also see around here on the forums people claiming to have solved the EE, people saying that hunting is stupid, and some people making obviously erroneous guesses on the next step. I ask of you all to please behave in a friendly and polite manner to any and all users, whether you think they are just trolling or not. Be the better person. Send a PM to a staff member or report their posts, but do not outright start hurling foul words, or b…

Well if you don't check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/user/CoDZombieForums And if you do, check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/user/CoDZombieForums Anyway, I've thought of a series idea that would get the community super involved and something really fun to do.

With the most recent update a few changes occurred within the most recent version which has thrown a few things out of sync. This was tested on the our test site before the update but it wasn't the same when transferred to the live site. We apologise for this, we are working hard to get things back to normal. truth be told I'm currently reworking the entire stylesheet and changes to the core to get us back to how things should be, To give you an idea. this is how I'm currently using CoDz. Our stylesheet has over 3000 lines, which all needs to be checked and corrected due to the upgrade and browser checks performed. It's taken a litt…

Hey Guys, We are going with TOTW, and Craig has already installed the mod/hook and it's populated with the biggest thread CODZ has produced, MMX trilogy. There are still a few different and contrasting suggestions as to how we will implement this, so I'm going to poll it. Main things are who decides the winner, should we invite thread suggestions and should there be a medal? Thanks guys, Chopper

Just wanted to point out that my Absence of Late is Due to the Internet Nazi's at my Work Place. They Finally blocked this Forum. :evil: Along with every single "Anonymizer" I can think of. Every day since that Fateful Day has been a long, Drawn out Affair. And because I don't have a lot of time to check the Forum at home, I havent been on Recently. As such have been missing out on a lot of great news it looks like. 3D. . . Really Treyarch? 3D? I think that piece of the Budget could be better spent. And it looks Like the Site is doing Great without me! (As if I were THAT Important) Oh and unless I'm Imagining things, the site looks Updated. Maybe n…

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. Please note that staff members that do not have a known Twitter account will not be posted here for obvious reasons.

You can now choose your gaming system to display in the mini profile to the left of your posts. Go to the User Control Panel (link at the top of forum) Then go to profile section and at the bottom you should be able to choose from a list of gaming system options and combos. If you don't see a combo that you have there, let me know and I will add it.
