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.

Recently status updates have been used for trying to get in touch with staff or to highlight issues of a technical nature or support request. Status updates are not for this type of use, they are for status updates on what you are doing etc. So from now, any status updates that are requesting support, highlighting a technical issue will be deleted and the user advised via PM advice on where the topic/post should be made or how best to get in touch. Usually the contact us section or in the support section of the forum. Please ensure that this occurs, incorrect use of the status updates feature is becoming a concern to staff and some users. Lets keep them for the in…

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…

We are aware of a couple of issues with the new update, we are working on this as quickly as possible. Some of these are issues which we can fix directly and you'll have noticed some of the style issue and width issues have been fixed. However, some are system issues which have tickets raised for. We hope to have these resolved as quickly as possible and we apologise for the inconvienence. If you notice anything, please report it to the bug tracker so we can have it investigated and fixed.

When you see a member of staff or another member referring to the CoC, they are referring to the Code of Conduct for callofdutyzombies.com Since the upgrade this has not been present, however, we have now added the CoC back to the site and slightly updated the CoC as well (it may require a few tweaks). This can now be found under the more menu. If you have any questions, suggestions for the CoC please leave a post so we can review and discuss. http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/index.php?/guidelines/

We have been looking to add to our news system and make better use of it for sometime, we have lacked conviction in news articles for sometime and we need to better utilise the system. So as of now, we have added two members to a new group called "Media Staff" - it's not a staff position but it is a stepping stone so to speak to potentially becoming that at a later date. Anyway, big congratulations and thanks to @XPG Richtofen and @Tac - we are all looking forward to these articles. What will happen, is that when a new article is added, it will automatically post that article into the "Site News" section of the forum - we want to drive user engagement wi…

Nuketown was first introduced in the original Black Ops and was an instant fan-favorite, “with its fast, frenetic engagements and classic run-and-gun gameplay,” as Activision put it. They reintroduced the map in Black Ops 2 as Nuketown 2025 (plus Nuketown Zombies), and then did the same again in Black Ops 3 as Nuk3town. Also in Black Ops 3 was the Nuk3town Personalization Pack, containing a weapon camo, three reticles, and a calling card (for those into that kind of thing)! Well, great news for those who love Nuketown! The map, as well as the Personalization Pack, is now available for free for all Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC users! Along with this, Treyarch has added …

The rumour mills are rife of a new Xbox potentially releasing in 2016, the slim version of the current model with a 2TB hard drive, more news is expected on this at E3 according to Polygon on top of that a new Xbox is potentially happening in 2017 with a higher GPU and running at a massive 6 teraflops - which wipes the floor with the current Xbox One at 1.3 teraflops and PS4 at 1.8 teraflops or the PS4 Neo at 4.1ish teraflops. The sources are also saying that Microsoft at looking at a deal with Oculus for the new consoles as well, in line with Microsofts plans to bring combine XBox/Windows ecosystem under "Project Helix" - when we know more we'll let you know …

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…

Apologies, for the downtime with the LFG - unfortunately a patch is not going to work for this issue and it needs a completely new version. We are working on it and should have something available next week. We know how frustrating it is and appreciate the patience.

Zombies may be fluctating in hype now that Black Ops 3's season has [practically] come to an end, but that doesn't mean that CoDz will face the same decline. In fact, the new year brings new improvements to the forum and overall structure of this community that ol' Santa Festo has to share along with the rest of the staff. To keep all you slayers at bay and at the edge of your teleporters, we will be doing monthly updates to bring new, refreshing content along with several CoDz-exclusive items just cause you're a rad member. Would you like a sneak peek into what's new? Sure you do. New Member Titles

http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/store/product/11-x-17-shadows-of-evil-movie-poster/ That's right folks, we finally released a brand new Zombies move poster under the guise of "Shadows of Evil"! We went for a more mainstream, minimalist look to give a simple, cleaner look for the upcoming Black Ops 3 Zombies maps we have gearing up. Perhaps we will see this baby soon in the Divinium Factory... What maps would you like to see become posters?

Apologies for unexpected downtime, I forgot about the server bill needing to be paid. We then got suspended and I needed to wait for cash to clear balance. it reiterates the reliance on staff paying to keep the kettle on and the importance of donations. Again apologies, will try and ensure it doesn’t happen again.

We have made some minor permission changes to user groups, which impact the following user groups "guests" and "New Member" only and are now restricted from certain forums. New Members need to contribute a minimum of 5 posts before these sections open up, this is now in action. This is to drive more user registrations but mainly to drive more user interaction. Guests are restricted until they sign up and then make a minimum of 5 posts for these areas to open up.

Out of the admins own pockets (most of the time). We do obviously generate Adsense money from the adverts we show but most people have an adblock in place anyway and we don't have that annoying popup asking you to disable your adblocker to view the site. We do generate money from our YouTube channel as well but there is a lot of costs involved with creators just to put a video on YouTube (mostly time). The forum software also has costs for the renewal and continued support/maintenance releases, along with added applications and plugins (not all of them are free). So we do have on the sidebar a donations option, it is as discreet as we want to make …

I get a lot of requests to join a group here on CoDz. Mainly from new members. The WWK, or What We Know Research Group (dark blue) would be the one you should be looking to join. In order to be accepted into that group you must research a topic and provide a detailed writeup, complete with images/videos/sources/etc... If you are curious about what one should look like you can go to the homepage, http://callofdutyzombies.com/home and look at the articles under the Der Riese tab. Now something that I am been trying to get members to do is to so what we did for Der Riese, for Shi No Numa. So if you want to be in the WWK, I would like to see you do a writeup on d…
