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.

Well were just under three weeks away from the launch of Black Ops and I feel like we should get some planning done. I realize there are PS3 ambassadors for this matter but there is no leadership for the 360 playdates. I would like to hear some input from the Admins as well. I think we should plan out some inaugural playdates. The idea of a Midnight launch playdate as well. Anyone who would be interested in joining the CoDz community the night of release feel free to post below what time zone you're located in and what gametype you would like to play.

There's been a lot of leaked Beta footage and other footage. I know it's awesome but please refrain from posting it on the forums. If someone wants to see it, please PM them. Same rules apply to the chat, try and avoid spoiling things for other members and make use of the handy Private Message system. Thanks. There is also a thread on this in General Discussion by carbonfibah (thanks Johnson). His is a little less specific but still the same general idea. The reason for this thread being, like carbon stated, that it's too much for the moderators to have to delete threads every 5-10 minutes because it's leaked footage or spoilers of Black Ops or other games. So …

Just wanted to point out that my Absence of Late is Due to the Internet Nazi's at my Work Place. They Finally blocked this Forum. :evil: Along with every single "Anonymizer" I can think of. Every day since that Fateful Day has been a long, Drawn out Affair. And because I don't have a lot of time to check the Forum at home, I havent been on Recently. As such have been missing out on a lot of great news it looks like. 3D. . . Really Treyarch? 3D? I think that piece of the Budget could be better spent. And it looks Like the Site is doing Great without me! (As if I were THAT Important) Oh and unless I'm Imagining things, the site looks Updated. Maybe n…

Starting this a couple days late this month, I apologize for that. Anyway I am opening this up, nominations until the 2nd, voting until the 4th and announced on the October 4th. Logistics : We're going to be doing a User of the Month award. What this means is that the User of the Month will have their own Usergroup, and they get to have a special rank and name color for the full month. Another cool thing will be that you will be the only person on this site that is like that. There will only be ONE User of the Month. The way this is going to work is that if you'd like to nominate someone (and yes, if you wish, you could nominate yourself) to be the User o…

You can now choose your gaming system to display in the mini profile to the left of your posts. Go to the User Control Panel (link at the top of forum) Then go to profile section and at the bottom you should be able to choose from a list of gaming system options and combos. If you don't see a combo that you have there, let me know and I will add it.

I need some help, and whoever helps me will get 2,000 brains. I am looking for a Joomla 1.5 module to showcase articles on the homepage. These are the 2 modules I have but cannot get to work properly. - Rokstories - LOFarticleslideshow So if someone can either get these to work on a site they made of their own and can share the preferences used, or if someone can find me another module to use (and I get it to work here on the CoDz homepage) you will get 2,000 brains.

Just recently carbon had to take down the chat on this site because of spamming, rude behavior, name calling, etc. I just want to tell you how boring this site gets without the chat. I know why he took it down and all but come on, this website is like dead right now without the chat. The chat just needs to have worse consiquences like perhaps if you are spamming, name calling, etc, then the person that was doing it will not be able to chat for ever until they confirm to carbon, triix, or someone else that is liable to take charge that they will never do anything to disrespect the chat again.

Over time I found it a bit distracting when reading the forums and viewing pictures with the Der Riese image in the back. So I wanted to try something new. Smoke seems like a common Black Ops theme, so I decided to make some smoke backgrounds for the forum. Technically they are "clouds" from paint.net but they look kinda cool haha. Anyway, I just wanted to hear your opinions. I will be keeping it like this for a little while to see how I like it as well as the rest of you all. So post in here what you think, or suggestions, or even a better smoke haha. If you don't see it, try clearing your cookies.

I am started up a black ops section on the homepage. This is a chance for some of you members who are not in a group to join one. What is required is for you to pick a section and then do a write up for it. That could be a list, images, paragraphs of text, cited pages, etc... pretty much everything we need to know. KEY: : Means someone has submitted content and the article/page is being created. Anyone can submit. [posted] : Means some content has been posted, but is not complete. Anyone can contribute. {completed} : Means the article has been completed. Anyone can suggest additions/changes. *requested* : Means someone has requested this topic. Anyone c…

I have been working diligently over the past several hours on a new theme for the CoDz homepage. http://callofdutyzombies.com/home So far it is coming along nicely. There are a ton of new features, updated components, modules and plugins available. I am messing around with it right now, but it is something I plan on keeping. If you have any ideas of ways to improve, let me know. Also, if any of you are interested in some new features, feel free to find some! I use Joomla 1.5, so any module or plugin that fits that requirement is fair game.

First of all I just want to thank ALL of the CoDz members who have donated to the site! With your help we were able to raise the $90 needed to upgrade the host package. We have upgraded our monthly traffic bandwidth from 147 GB to 400 GB ! This will allow the chat to return, as well as some new features in the future. We also now have unlimited CoDz emails, subdomains, and some other increases. I will also be willing to rent out subdomains to members for personal use. ie http://carbonfibah.callofdutyzombies.com Please contact me via private message with any questions or concerns regarding subdomains and emails.

First of all, I would like to start off by saying that you absolutely MUST read our Forum Code of Conduct. You can find the CoC here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3 Like stated in that thread, anyone caught violating these rules will receive some form of punishment whether it be a simple warning or a permanent ban. Now, as an add on to the rules that we already have in place, I am instigating a new rule stating that any topic we find that is a repeat topic to any other topic that can be found on the first page of the forums, WILL BE DELETED. The user who also posted that topic will receive a warning. Any time this happens multiple times and it's from the same user it…

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. …
