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.

Ok, with our new site, which has an article system, we can start producing more content that can be displayed via the homepage. Before you say "ohhh I want to be a CoDz Writer" know that all your written content must be your own work. So I mean NO plagiarizing, and no changing a few words around so its a little different. I am looking for people who are creative individuals and all around good writers meaning good with spelling, grammar, etc. I am not looking for novels but enough written content that shows you put an effort towards making your article good and worth reading. Of course there will be a new group added for the select few that are chosen. So how c…

We had loads of fun at the Zombies World Championship (ZWC) on August 19th! Aside the lack of sleep (and very seldom chances to eat those delicious tacos outside), we had the honor of being an integral part of the competition, as well as hanging with the Z-YouTubers, some very important people from Activision/Treyarch, and most importantly, awesome fans of all ages. I wanted to share with you some nice photos I managed to take during my time there. ----------------------------------------------------------------- We also wanted to take time out to see what we can do to impr…

Please welcome @DeathBringerZen to the team, he is now moderating the custom zombies discussion and maps forums. At this stage DBZ is part of the team and solely responsible for the customs section, his user title remains the same and he remains in the same usergroup he is currently in. However, we will need to work out a way to show DBZ as a staff member for these sections, I'm sure you will all congratulate DBZ and wish him well. If you have any questions or need any assistance then DBZ will be the first point of contact for the customs section and then any member of staff. Congrats @DeathBringerZen, great to have you as a part of the team.

I, and many Uk Zombies, have had this problem for a while: America is UTC - 5 hours which is 5 hours BEHIND England, so when i log on at 6am (i get up early ) to check messages i see an american friend from CoDz, like Mick Saints: Me- Hey mick, CoD? Mick- What? its 1am over here, i'm just wrapping this up and going to bed! this is a problem, especially here: When a playdate is set up, it will be at a range of, say, 10 am up to 10 pm and in the UK we have a EST or +5 hours, so when it is 10 am in America it is 3pm here and 10 pm is 3 am... So you see that the playdate is a problem for many Uk zombies who have a Job/University or college/School to…

Hola familia! With Black Ops 4 getting coming in just about 3 weeks, we're excited for a CoDZ Relaunch! You may have seen several changes around the site, with new things being added and old items getting locked away. This is where you, the gamer, come into play. What new features would you like to see come to CoDZ?

First and foremost, sorry. The plan was to do some maintenance and improvements and then bring the site back online. As you can guess, it failed. I'll explain what happened in laymans terms. Basically what happened was we wanted to update apache, apache runs the http service and we wanted to update the version of php that we run to the most up to date version. When running the apache update, an error message appeared quite quickly indicating that we had exceeded disk quota and it failed, it's supposed to revert back to the most recent working configuration but failed to restart, Upon investigation it was evident that the "inodes" had maxed out causing the disk qu…

Hey everyone, if you've tried to access the forum lately, you'll know that the site has been under construction. Last night, as Covert was preparing to leave the site completely to us, we were updating the site, moving files around, etc, to make it run as smoothly as possible, especially in preparation for the influx of new users and content. Unfortunately, due to a slight miscommunication on our part, a file was misplaced in the wrong folder and ended up crashing the entire site. We immediately realized our mistake, and knew it should be an easy fix. All we had to do was restore the back up file from our host. Unfortunately, the backup file was updated just after th…

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.

In about 2 hours time, I'll be taken the website offline for a period of time, we will be upgrading the site to IPS Suite 4.2.1 - which brings a host of new features with the site and also brings us up to the most recent version. This is not just a simple update, this is a new version of the suite taken us from 4.1 to 4.2, you'll like the new features.

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.

Alright CoDz, this is your time to shine. An unknown man named 'MrX' has messaged us with some sort of weird information: Note; he's only messaged a few people... Myself, the Dwellers, and the Mods. We need help cracking this. We already know what the German means translated, it's an old finding from Der Riese that says "The bees are from ludwig village disappeared.", but we have no idea what the relevance of the capitalization means, or the rest of the message for that matter. PLEASE post any theories or ideas that you may have regarding this, as it is top priority. By the way, if you DON'T believe me... you can check the Dweller list t…

Thank you for your patience of the last few days, whilst the forum has been in maintenance mode. As you can see I have been extremely busy updating the forum to a new software and bring back somethings you liked that unfortunately broke on the previous forum. So what's the same? Well, all the topics, posts, usernames, profiles, signatures (although may need updated) are all the same, profile pictures have also been transferred when it has been possible to do so. Unfortunately not all profile pictures have transferred. So please check and update you're profile. The forum is now using 87% of the width of your screen. So what's new? WYSIWYG - What you see is wha…

I used to go onto this forum when the previous website existed, but once it was gone i just left and stayed on the callofduty.com forums... So there may be a few intellectuals on that website that offer their opinions and semi-good ideas, but on here, i get real, legitimate answers with actual reasoning and thought behind them, it's so refreshing! So I just wanted to say thanks for being there Codz Community Keep up the good work!
