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 know I have been a little arrogant about this matter, but I come here with my arms open. I will like to propose a series of reforms for Team Wunder Waffes, which I believe you will all like. - Open for everyone: ANYBODY can join the team, no matter the age, as long as he has an Xbox. The EZS will stay, but their new purpose will be to help members struggling with the game become better at it. They will be the elite of the team, but this will be because, considering they have skill, their talent should be recognized by everyone. - Remove the whole Empire business: The Holy Wunder Waffe Empire will completely dissapear. I shall be emperor of dogs, but not of th…

So one of our lovely survivors, yellow-card8 is suggesting we celebrate 115 day with some awesome zombie slaying action. I don't know if I'll be able to be on that day, but I love his idea and think that we should organize something. As a new PS3 Ambassador, I can't think of a better way to start off! So, let me know if you're interested and I'll see if we can coordinate something. Also, way2g00's zombie tournament starts up this weekend as well. Here's the tournament info (PS3 only)- viewtopic.php?f=13&t=18957 yellow-card8's original idea for 115 day- viewtopic.php?f=53&t=18961

So fake viral campaigns for Black Ops 2 have started springing up recently and more will spring up as we get closer and closer to the official viral. All I ask of you is to not get tricked into believing these viral campaigns, it happens often and big discussions break out only for people to become annoyed when a mod locks their thread. Most of the time these fake campaigns are self advertising, the people who create the campaigns are usually the people who post their "mysterious new findings" on the forum, usually wanting attention and most of the time they get it, because a community with the interests of ours will jump at the chance for a viral campaign for Z…

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…

Should CoDz be a forum where quests can't view anything, and you have to be a member to see and post? When I first made CoDz, on that free forum that is how I had it. Only members could view content. What are your thoughts and opinions on this matter? Ready..... Go!

Hi guys, now I know we were excited by some recent false news meant to occupy us while we waited for Black Ops so I just wanted to make a note here. This site is used by many people from all over the world and of all ages. So this means if you're flaming somebody on the site, you don't know whether or not that person is old, young, new or anything. Flaming not only disrespects the person(s) involved, but it also puts down the morale of people. Nobody wants to see all of the hatred and negativity... It has been an issue that is honestly gotten out of hand. People see someone as a bad person for trying to create some hype and they stick to that mindset and that's bad. …

So as you all know by now we have recovered the old asylum, research & training facility. Unfortunately the usernames all have the prefix of guest_ and the suffix of _* - so I have done a fair bit of working and testing on this before bring it onto the live site and since it was brought over to the live site. Changing the guest_username_* to just the username - it's too big a task to align, it will take a lot of work on a per post/user basis and it is simply not going to happen. So what we have done is removed the guest_ prefix and the _* suffix so that the members name is displayed, it will still show the name as a "guest" name, in that you cannot select it, howe…

As the title says, it is time for me to retire from the staff here at Codz. I just don't have the time to look after the site like I should be doing. I know this will come as a shock to some, but don't worry I will not be gone from CoDz. As a normal member I will be more able to focus on what I did best, which was making interesting posts & threads for the greater community. Plus I really want to finish NZC some time this year. Maybe in the future when my life gets less busy, I will return to a mod position within the ranks of Codz. Best regards Alpha.

Hi All, Sorry for the short notice, we are going to experience some downtime in aproximately 8 hours time. We have scheduled an upgrade to the MySQL server to bring us upto date with the current version. This is necessary as the current version is now EOL (End of Life) - when you visit the site, you will be presented with a MySQL driver error as the site cannot find the database, this is because we need to stop the SQL server to process the update. This is scheduled to take place at 8am GMT, 12am PST, 3am EST - apologies for the inconvience whilst we make sure we are current and upto date with all server related aspects. We shouldn't need any further planned d…

First and foremost - Sorry. We have experienced an issue with emails since we started using Cloudflare to handle static content, I was on late last night and basically I deleted a record that I shouldn't have. As soon as I clicked the X to delete I shouted out within myself (as it was 12:30am) "ya numpty" - which translates "what are you doing you complete and utter moron" - what have we learned? Not to do things when your eyes are being held open by match sticks. So hands up, it was my fault but it also gave me time to investigate other issues such as emails not being received and registration issues being experienced by some. I still have to inve…

Today we purchased a new package with our current hosting provider and we are moving to a new server that will be running on CentOS7 64 bit operating system. We will be doing some optimising / upgrading software and basically getting things running as best and as fast as we possibly can. Moving to this new setup will bring us better performance and greater scope for optimising. Recently we have updated our database to run on MariaDB, we have also moved all the tables for the database to InnoDB, we are also utilising cloudfare for static content. What does this mean? What it effectively means is we will need to update our nameserver to the new IP address, it…

As the title suggests I wanted to know if you as members think that we should have a couple new threads. One for people, whether noobs or long time members, can just speculate about zombies. It can be following the story line or not. Someone who may not know the storyline can just post some of there info in this place. The second new thread would be for the strict storyline followers! If you dont know the story like the back of your hand you shouldnt post there. I think it may alleviate some of the confusion on the other threads where poeple may be very strict about the story line while others are looking and just wanting to share some things that they lik…

We have been testing over the past week or so the effect of adverts on CoDz and how these are impacting on the visual aspect and how these impact on the performance and so forth. Some people are aware of these adverts being tested and thank you for assisting, we didn't want to introduce adverts but it's evident that we need to. So you will now see adverts on the main forum index at the top, on the right sidebar and at the bottom of the forum index. You will upon selecting a category see AD's top, bottom of the site and after the first topic. Selecting a topic will present you will an AD after the first post. Adblock will render them useless, I know. However, w…

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.…

Thanks for the patience today, the update took longer than anticipated as an issue with connectivity with our ftp server and IPS server was encountered, it menat that we had to upload all files rather than the updated files which takes a little longer as you can appreciate. We are back online but we need to update the theme to take account of some styling changes and new features functions and fix a couple of bugs. Howeever we can't process the theme update due to a memory error when uploading this file and we have a ticket open for this again (it was supposed to be fixed in this version but it hasn't been) - if you notice anything, please let us know.
