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.

Alright guys, we've been kicking around the idea for quite some time now that we should have a site podcast.

Ok. lol Here we go, this is my reasoning behind the chat being taken down. A long time ago when CoDz was a free forum they offered a small embeddable chatbox. It was right there on the top of the forum. Now this was used a lot by everyone as we feverishly discussed zombies theories for world at war, so many brilliant theories and core concepts of zombies that we all know today were discussed, concocted and researched in that chatbox. Now CoDz was still relatively small at that point with a core group who used the chat properly and behaved. Now we outgrew that free site quickly and the new CoDz that we have today was born. Now my thinking was that we had a simple…

Well, you didn't see this coming - did you? Searching for randoms can be extremely frustrating, especially after a game has become several years old. What if there was a way to find the exact crew you want to play with on codz, right away? With CODZ's new Looking For Game feature, we think the community can truly rally behind something created specifically for them. CODZ.LFG is our vision for a superior search engine in which you can either use various filters to search for a crew matching your preference, or browse through crews as they are posted in real time. Ideally it would work similar to the LFG sites created for Destiny. To make this vision work, we need to…

Below you will find the explanations of each option. The winning idea will be decided Monday sometime and at that point i will begin contacting people to get the project going. Demon's Idea - Photoshopping a Big Treyarch logo in the middle of a page and having everybody who want's to participate go into paint and write out their signature (username or real name to be decided) and send it to them. goblue's idea - Having a member make a 3-D rendering of the mystery box and finding a way to incorporate all of our signatures into and or onto the post, also could be expanded by adding some sort of annimation to the box by adding Zombies or one of the Fab Four ope…

CHECK THE THREAD BELOW FOR CRYPTIC EMAILS viewtopic.php?f=115&t=21922 With all the discussion of the images appearing on callofduty.com I thought it might be fun to reveal some cryptic images of the new forum layout every single day until May 1st (the reveal of black ops 2) and see if you guys can guess what they are/mean. PLEASE NOTE: The forum theme is still in its very early stages, I know some of you guys got to see it when we released it a little too early and that wasn't ready to release, we've changed it a lot since then but it still needs a lot of work done to it, please do not judge it just yet.

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…

Consider this an important announcement. From now on, any members arguing, harassing, spamming, or other violations of CoDz's Code Of Conduct will be banned from chat for 1 week. If you are not familiar with the CoC, you can read it here, although you should ALL have read it already. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3 This has become an epidemic and I cannot police the chat 24/7. From now on if I witness any of the above, or am made privy to such infractions by other members, you will be banned from the chat for 7 days. Failure to heed this ban will result in further consequences. If this continues to be a problem I will be forced to remove the chat feature fr…

CODZ is full of different people from all over the world; young and old, active and lurker, hardcore and casual. Often times along the way, communication can get misinterpreted, and inevitably misunderstandings will occur. Sometimes it's 1 on 1, sometimes it's 10 on 10, and sometimes it's 10 on 1. We, as human beings, are not perfect. We all have faults - and it's quite easy to forget that when dealing with a personal, sensitive, or passionate topic. It's also quite easy to get into the "pack mentality", to "gang up" on the odd man out; we are all guilty of this, including myself. Gossiping about other members, only using destructive criticism, putting someo…

I have attached a poll with a few questions relating to the new look of the site, it hasn't been fully completed yet but the main part the forum has been put live. We know we have had a small number of issues since going live on Friday and we have resolved these and experienced time offline as a result, which we can only apologise for. However, we wanted to get an understanding of what you think on how it looks, how it responds, how the speed of the site is, how easy it is to use etc. If you need to ask question then please do so but please also vote so we can get a better understanding. For instance, regarding posting. Did you know, that if you want to insert a tweet,…

Brains, an excellent way to commend a fellow member for an excellent post, showing thanks for the hard work on a new topic/post that they have created. It's great that it's back and we understand the need and feeling of just wanting to supply brains for something you liked. Bottom line is, we think on some occasions brains are being supplied for the wrong reasons. Brains are not to be supplied for introductions, for things in off topic areas for example. However, brains are to be supplied for hard work, well thought out posts and well constructed posts. We will be keeping an eye on the reasons for brains being supplied, we will not tolerate misuse of the featu…

Alright, question time. If I were to have a company make some Zombie themed wristbands, would you guys be interested in buying them? They would be a red color with "BRAAAAIINS" debossed on the front, and "Zombie Killer In All Of Us" debossed on the back. They would cost a $1.50 each, but they would be pretty cool, in my opinion. Also, if you guys have other ideas for possible wristbands, let me know here.

So, some will know of the update that we have been planning behind the scenes and some will have had early bird access to test some features and functions (thank you, you know who you are). However, we wanted to share with you some more details about the update, whats happening and when etc. Essentially, we are updating everything - the entire site is receiving an overhaul. As it stands the forum is the main thing that people see when they access the site, you then have the menu which you can then browse the site and the frontpage. We feel that what we actually need (and we can change this at any stage with a click of a button) is a main page (a landing page). …

This is the first time in probably over a year that I have posted about this subject. Anyway.... Ok, to better understand the situation, and where I am coming from I need to give a little background and start at the beginning, otherwise this won't make sense, and I will not convey my ideas effectively.

Free T-shirts have arrived from GRFXP. XyB-lm35zvM GRFXP Store Link. The two wunderweapon T-shirts will be used in a future CoDz competition. The Zombie Train one belongs to SGC Barbarian. I also ordered a Zombie Train one for myself, I must say they look the part. Very professional done. I would highly recommend getting one of these from GRFXP, you will not be disappointed with them. He also included a free strip of Perk Icon stickers which are also fantastic. Customs also snatched the package & held it to ransom, which GRFXP graciously took care of, which makes him awesome in my book. Thank you GRF…
