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.

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~

Thank you carbon for making CoDz. I was just reading through some of the CoD HQ Forums, and that is pretty much the pinnacle of arguing 12 year olds. At least there is a forum where people actually get along, don't flame and troll repeatedly, and know each other and have some form of a friendship between each other. In comparison to the CoD HQ, we are 20x more productive in finding new things out, as well as not trolling, spamming, flaming etc. We have more and more groups being made every day, more zombie clans and partners to be found, really, CoDz is just an amazing website period. Thank you Carbon, for making such an amazing website, and I know I speak for the majorit…

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…

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…

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…

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 …

Times have changed and so have we! How times have changed. A once strict policy that was respected by many on CoDZ has been adapted. The well known 'No Leaks' rule that was the epitome of this great forum is now no longer the condition it once was. This is not because we do not care... it's because we do care. We care enough about this forum not to lock it away from the outside world any longer. So what does this mean exactly? It means that people who are affiliated with Activision are now being used as marketing tools. Yep, these channels or individuals are now being taken in by Activision, Treyarch and other studios with the purpose of giving them exclusive intel …

We are opening up the new site to all The frontpage is just a quick mock up and hasn't been completed or finalised. This very unlikely to be the final design of it. Just something for you all to get the idea of the landing page before accessing the forum. Quite a lot has changed, especially with the editor, you don't need to insert an image or click on more reply options to add attachments. Simply paste the link to an image, press enter and the image will appear, this is the same with soundcloud, youtube etc. The @ mention function, simply type @ then in lower case type the start of the persons username and a list will appear, you can select from that lis…

We are so sorry for the prolonged downtime today, it should have been live 6 hours ago, before the US woke up or just started to wake up. Unfortunately and sods law, just as I clicked a certain function, it broke. The 1st time it has happened throughout the betas and the release candidates. So again, please accept my apologies. Anyway, we have decided to take the plunge and go live today with just the forum - the rest is following soon. A few things are new and a few things will be here soon. I'm still adding things but wanted to get it live ASAP. and then add the bits n pieces we need. The medals will not be live at first, they will come back in due course, the app is…

So essentially what we have here is the same forum as what we had previously, the big difference here, is that it has been written from the ground up for version 4 and the framework behind all the code and functions has been rewritten from the ground up and modernised and in a way future proofed for a few years anyway. So what are the changes, I will list these as I go on but what I will do is list what is currently disabled. Twitter sidebar - this will be updated and will return in due course Twitch video overview - this hasn't been updated by the developer yet, we don't have a timescale but it will return. Arcade - this has not launched yet, it is in the process of b…

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.

With a heavy heart. It has been several months since I have been active, I took some time out to spend more time with the family, concentrate on work and to generally enjoy life away from the site and gaming in general. At 40 years old this year, my time for gaming has dwindled Year or Year. So I have decided with a heavy heart to hang up my gloves and hand over the reigns to someone else. When I joined the team, the site had a few technical and staffing problems and as a team we got rejuvenated and pushed the site forward and self funded. We aren't quite self funded but close to it. I'm going to stick around for a few weeks in the background with the staff to discus…

Dear CoDz, As some of you may already know, I got a job working at Treyarch. I start in February. Due to my new "awesome" job I won't be able to be active on social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, or this site. Sure I can post about boring details in my life, but I really can't be active on the site, due to NDA's and what have you. So in my absence Lissa and CovertGunman will be running things for me. If you ever need anything, you can always reach me on Twitter > @carbonfibah < I will save you the long winded story of the beginnings of the site and how far we have come. I couldn't have made CoDz the success that it is today with the he…

I plan to make this the #1 go-to site for everything Black Ops zombies. I just wanted to share some visitor stats with you since the new CoDz site went live. These numbers are based off the visitor counter on the homepage.

Sorry folk's, I've tried to minimise this as much as possible over the year, unfortunately today could have been avoided. Basically routine maintenance on the database was performed (repairing and optimizing tables with overhead) - when processing the posts table the table crashed. Due to the amount of posts and my limited time throughout today, we only came back an hour ago but had to wait til I got home. Sorry folk's, routine maintenance caused the problem, shouldn't happen again.

Is now enabled, you can now vote on any topic in a forum that this is enabled, you can see this in site news. In the main index, you will see stars next to the topic title, no stars hightlighted means no vote on a topic, 1 to 5 stars is the rating of the topic. We have enabled this feature across the forum (some forums exempt) from it, I'll list them once I've finished enabling them.

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. I…
