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 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?

Free T-shirts have arrived from GRFXP. XyB-lm35zvM GRFXP Store Link. The two wunderweapon T-shirts will be used in a future CoDz competition. The Zombie Train one belongs to SGC Barbarian. I also ordered a Zombie Train one for myself, I must say they look the part. Very professional done. I would highly recommend getting one of these from GRFXP, you will not be disappointed with them. He also included a free strip of Perk Icon stickers which are also fantastic. Customs also snatched the package & held it to ransom, which GRFXP graciously took care of, which makes him awesome in my book. Thank you GRF…

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

Is the forum working for everybody? We recently got suspended from our old host Bluehost. We were on a shared server and consumed too many resources. So to remedy this problem I found a new host. We now have a VPS. VPS is a virtual private server. It is inbetween shared servers and a dedicated server. Dedicated servers pretty much start at around $500 a month. I have this VPS for $50 a month. One of the reasons for using VPS over shared hosting is the level of performance you get with it. Like previously said, with shared hosting all of your resources are shared, but with VPS every resource is ours and have been assigned by the VPS administrator and we are the only o…

****DISCLAIMER**** This post does not reflect CoDz as a website, these words are my own and reflect my personal outlook on the situation. Please do not construe this as a flame war. Where to begin..... First off, the reason for this post is because recently there has been murmurs and what not that need to be addressed. This is the first time in probably over a year that I have posted about this subject. Anyway.... Ok, to better understand the situation, and where I am coming from I need to give a little background and start at the beginning, otherwise this won't make sense, and I will not convey my ideas effectively.

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.

That is right! As the CoDz community grows we have to make sure we as a website continue to grow as well. This in part is why we have introduced 4 new forum groups. "The Four Guardians" as we like to call them will be featured for each group. Richtofen for 50+, Dempsey for 40-49, Nikolai for 30-39, and Takeo for 20-29. These groups will be a great way for all forum members to show off their hard work in zombies here on the forums. Now I am going to go over a few details here. Why the gray color? I predict these groups to grow very big, and with the color that we have already, adding more of one or more of multiple colors could be exhausting on the eye…

*****UPDATED 7/23 1:34PM EST****** Ok this is where I am at... So when I first made this site, well it was just a free forum back in the day we didn't have as many users or active users as we do now. The majority of users were from the US. However as time went on and CoDz became more popular with each WaW map pack and now with Black Ops, the users on CoDz are from all over the globe. Now we had this before, but now it is much more mixed. So back then I had made group for a few UK guys that were active when most of the other active users were all American. Anyway I made the UK zombies group for them. Now that the site is bigger that group tripled in size and was …

Hello. You may or may not know that Carbon asked for help with the media section of the site, this included youtube. So I decided to make a series that would get the community involved with the channel as well. This series is, The CoDz challenge, each week I'll set you a challenge and you have on week to complete it, record it and send it to me. This weeks challenge is: KNIFE ONLY ON KINO! The video below will explain a little bit more about the series, more about the challenge and how to submit your clips. 8EV3XC7HTS4 If you don't want to watch the video, but you're interested, here's the text version. The series consists of on…

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.
