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 apologise for the downtime we have experienced today, this was outwith our control. Unfortunately, an issue at the data center caused the node our server is on to power cycle and as a direct result impacted our SQL database. Several attempts to recover the database from our backups and the hosts backups (without data loss) failed. So we did a full recovery from yesterday as a last resort, as a result posts/topics in the last 24 (approx) have been lost into the aether. We are looking into what is preventing the recovery and crashes on the SQL database after an outage at the hosts and why we are directly impacted and what we can do to prevent in t…

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! Unlike the old arcade we used to have, high scores won't automatically be saved...however, you can leave a comment/revie…

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.

Hey CODZ! It's your friendly neighborhood GRILL here, checking in. What a viscous pandemic that has gripped our planet! It's truly in these dire times that I thank CODZ for a community that I can return to, and feel comfort to envelope myself in. To me, it honestly feels like a zombie apocalypse out there - I live in a highly effected area. How's everyone doing? Everyone washing your hands like crazy? I just needed to come here and once again acknowledge how important this place is.

I am trying to work on the error that shows when you try to log out or in sometimes. In the meantime a very easy fix is to simply close the chat tab and reload the chat. This works.

Hay guys in lack of a crap ton of members, i suggest that we make a youtube channel, run by moderators or someone else. Once the next map pack comes out we can frequently post all of the easter eggs that we find, or in the meantime, we can make videos of challenges or montages.

Alright so, I thought it would be so friggin' cool if Call Of Duty Zombies had its own amusement park. With Rated M Rides, so sorry children, you can't go on if you're scared of large amounts of blood. So, here's my amusement park! Name:CarbonLand! Rides!:The Waffle Womp! (Spin around landers at fast speeds while the car your in spins clockwise really fast), Troll Post! (You see the Troll Post at the beginning of the ride, but the post is just a huge door! It opens up, and inside is a bunch of people on fire screaming while you can hear, "N00B! BULL! NOT TRUE! DUDE TOTAL FAKENESS! GTFO! OMG YOU FAIL!"

In the intermediate period until the sections are fixed, I have moved all the threads that are generally applicable to the original Black Ops to the Black Ops section of the forum. If you are looking for them, please go here: viewforum.php?f=16 Thank you for being so understanding of the chaos around these parts. I want this site to be as beautiful as it was a year ago at this time. Keep working and never give up. If you need me to move anything, please let me know, or just talk to another active staff member. Ehj~

Apologies for the forum being offline earlier and no prior notification, however, we have now updated the forum to the latest version in the current version history. The brings a few security updates and minor bug fixes. You won't notice anything different, although we have put a new menu item Apps, where all the applications such as arcade and live streams can be found. We may add more to this and reduce the overall menu amount over time.
