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 would like to apologise to some of our members, some members have opted to go dark until the DLC is released on the XBox One and there goes me and adds the Twitch channel on the main forum index live streaming Der Eisendrache. I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional, I actually just noticed during a game with @Covert Gunman - sorry about that, hope it didn't spoil anything.

We have been working hard in the background doing some adjustments to the website and user experience and want to give you a little understanding of what we have done, are doing and a few did you know things. We have done some server changes, implemented a different PHP handler, introduced memcache and config updates. This helped tremendously with site peformance. We then introducted Cloudflare again to help with speed and performance. Page Speed Insights We've still got some improvements we can do, this is web report from Page Speed Insights, Mobile is needing a little bit more work but we're on it. This is GTMetrix, …

I was told I should post this in Site News instead of Introductions, so here it goes: Hey this is TacticalInsertion. I am looking for my password but can't find it yet. When I press "forgot my password" the one they give me doesn't work, so I made a new acct for the time being. When I find my old password (hopefully tonight) i'll switch back to that acct. I am going to be back for quite some time. I understand if any of you are pissed, but strwrsbob recruited me back. So basically, I hope I am still welcome?

I'm currently working on a video database for the site, the idea behind this is quite simple really. One location for zombie related videos. This can be world records, easter egg guides, tutorials, strategies and so forth. This is how it looks just now. How it works is basically quite simple, it's using the same system we use for news and the "same" grid layout available to members from the themes section. Slightly different in that it is a 3x3 setup rather than a 2x2 setup (just a little code change). Anyone can add a video (member wise) - you can add some content for the video (i.e. some general info) and a link to the video (you don't even need to upload it, ju…

Back in the good ol' days of the Internet, Flash games overtook the web by storm. Despite how generic and old they were, we simply couldn't stop playing the. Hell, even as little school students, we'd find ways to play our favorite Flash games on those heavily-firewall'ed school computers! It's time to relive that childhood with our own Arcade. http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/arcade/ Our new Arcade will feature classic Flash games and be continuously updated monthly with more new games for your enjoyment!

Did you know? You can set a custom activity stream to follow the content you want to follow, you don't have to view all activity, you can choose what you want to view, how you want to view it. So lets say you want to view just Alpha Omega topics/post, then choose the relevant options with a custom stream, save the stream and call it whatever you want "Alpha Omega" sounds like a good shout. So how do you do it? I've set a custom stream to follow staus updates, records, topics and tournaments. You can also select the other options such as show me, read status, ownership e.t.c. From within topics opt…

Although apparently he would only be briefly seen, this would match up considering Nikolai was sent to war after killing his wives. Not really related to anything, but still, as far as zombies characters go, this is pretty cool.

Just recently carbon had to take down the chat on this site because of spamming, rude behavior, name calling, etc. I just want to tell you how boring this site gets without the chat. I know why he took it down and all but come on, this website is like dead right now without the chat. The chat just needs to have worse consiquences like perhaps if you are spamming, name calling, etc, then the person that was doing it will not be able to chat for ever until they confirm to carbon, triix, or someone else that is liable to take charge that they will never do anything to disrespect the chat again.

Are we still moving over to there because I checked it recently, and all I can see is spam. You look on the activity feed and they've had a field day. If we are moving other there at some point in the future, a Mod best clean that up. Just thought I'd let you all know. And I've just looked at the forum itself, its in every topic. Depending on whether or not we are moving is there any point in it's existence. If not soon but later then all that spam needs to get removed as their is an awful lot.

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! …

Simply put, we've implemented a more lightweight chatbox by popular demand. As with our old chatbox, each reply is subject to the Code of Conduct on this forum. This is in no way to replace our Looking For Group module (LFG) - and as such, should only be used as a small chit-chat area. Abuse of the chatbox will lead to it being left in the Rift...although you wouldn't do that, would you?

You should all be starting to see the website speed improving, we made some changes on the server by introducing memcached again, we are also using a faster php processor mod. on top of that, the forum software now implements some speed and performance enhancements and we are now running a content delivery network service. load times should be pretty rapid and we’ll be monitoring the changes and implementing further changes if required and when needed. If you’re finding things take longer than 2 seconds to fully load, let us know and we can have a look.

Hello everyone, I'm Flammenwerfer and I've got some news jelly for your ear breads. First of all, a new forum has been created under the "Zombie Stories & Theories" section called "Zombie Labs." This forum has been discussed already, but I'll touch up on it. In the recent months, many threads have popped up under Future Zombies that admittedly don't really "fit" the forum they're created in. These threads are mainly concepts and ideas, with some full blown Side Quest and DLC ideas thrown in. While these threads are certainly interesting reads, they don't necessarily contribute to the theorizing of actual future Zombie maps. As such, these threads have been moved t…

Hey Guys, This has been mentioned before and is a bug bear of a lot of members. Non responses. I'm talking about those 3 word lines you post; 'I agree', 'too funny' etc, Add this response to the massive signatures that some have and it seems often that half the content I view, is meaningless. This site should be better than that. Obviously there is a place for some very short responses, but I think too many people are using them all over the place, dare I say it, just to up their post count or to be seen posting. Please consider your responses, and whether they are actually adding something to the discussion. If you agree with someone, don't just say …

Good news, I went out and got myself an HD PVR. So now I can record stuff from the xbox. I will be recording playdates, easter eggs, gameplay, etc... most of it which is zombie related will be uploaded to the CoDz Youtube. So I am really going to try and get more videos on there and get it going. I still want people to add videos to the CoDz drop box, I may or may not add them, I am pretty picky, which is why I got an HD PVR so I can do it myself, lol anyway... so ya soon I will start pumping out videos on the codz youtube for the homepage for the black ops zombies sections, we will be doing what we know as videos and sections are added. More on that later on. my you…

We have added some banners to the site, to indicate those in the Staff, Donors, Veterans & Hall of Fame usergroups, we have the scope to add more and if you think we should add more let us know. We won't be adding them for the members group but other groups may be suited to them, if you have the wrong one showing, it is likely calling the secondary usergroup which we can easily change if you PM myself.

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.

Here are the links for old PS3 and XBOX playdates if you want to know what they look like.

Since CoD XP I have been very... well busy. Pretty much as soon as I got back I met a girl and well my new relationship has for better or for worse kept me occupied. Don't worry though I am still here, just not around as much hence the addition of a couple admins to help pick up the slack from my absence. Everything seems to be working alright here. If you have anything to say to me or questions or comments or anything post in this thread as I will be back as much as I can over the next few days. - carbon

Hey Guys, This is the inaugural Topic of the Week which will nominated by you guys, and decided by a committee. I changed it up a little and decided to run it from Sunday to Saturday, with nominations made on Sunday and then a decision made late on Sunday. This isn't the longest open period, but due to it being weekly it's difficult to pick the best time. In the future, if any user doesn't think they will be on the site when the nominations are open, they can email myself or any of the committee with their nomination anytime from the Friday before the nominations open on the Sunday, This could be changed if it doesn't suit, but for this one it's as is.
