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.

Hi guys, I have some bad news. Unfortunately due to hosting space restrictions and such, we are unable to provide you with the latest episode (4) of the Chaos Drop Zone Podcast. The same will go for episode 5 as well as we are recording soon and won't be up till early April, so please excuse our lateness. (Especially with the tease of a 2hour long uber funny episode we tweeted). We're hoping to get Carbon to help host the shows so we have more space but we'll see how it goes. Hope you enjoy the shows and continue to listen. Wolfy

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.

Since I have been getting a lot of questions about the color's in the Chat, I'll make a topic I can reference to every time I'm asked so I don't have to explain every time, the name color is determined by the group you are in. If you think you belong in a certain group, then post here, Admin color Moderator color Veteran color ZOMBshes color WWK Research color UK Zombies color PS3 Ambassador color The font color is changed by clicking in the bottom-right then checking "Persist Font Color" then you need to click the button on bottom that says "Font Color" choose your font color, then type, have fun!

I am trying to work on the error that shows when you try to log out or in sometimes. In the meantime a very easy fix is to simply close the chat tab and reload the chat. This works.

You spoke, we listened. We want to “zombie-up” the chat mod. The staff would like your input on identifying some non-intrusive sound effects for members joining and leaving the chat (ex. Teleporter, round start, mystery box move). Keep in mind the sound can always be disabled so don’t fret if you enjoy your peace and quiet. Please leave any suggestions below!

Simply put, we've implemented a more lightweight chatbox by popular demand. As with our old chatbox, each reply is subject to the Code of Conduct on this forum. This is in no way to replace our Looking For Group module (LFG) - and as such, should only be used as a small chit-chat area. Abuse of the chatbox will lead to it being left in the Rift...although you wouldn't do that, would you?

We have switched the chatroom service on, it has been tested and skinned accordingly to match CoDz. We are aware of the fact a chatroom once existed and impacted on the forum use. So remember, this is an open trial to all members for a period of 7 days and we will be monitoring the use of the forum and chat service. We have a log of all chats that occur, so remember, we know if you are not adhering to the rules - we also reserve the right to remove it at any given time. Have fun.

Sorry folk's, I'm aware the chatroom is down, it was reported earlier in the staff skype chat. I assumed it was an error on the remote server that hosts the chat. The actual fault is due to a licencing issue, our server isn't communicating with invisions licencing server. I know the cause of the fault and I've fixed that but waiting on invision support to respond to the ticket I raised with them this morning, in all honesty I forgot that the chatroom would have been affected as a result. Apologies we will be back up, it will just take a wee bit of time, please bare with me whilst I fix the first fault & that will fix the fault with the chatroom.

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/

COD:Zombies TCG (OFFICIALLY REANIMATED GUIDE) IN THE BEGINNING.. On the brink of a fractured universe, the undead mindlessly roam the isolated wastelands that we once called Earth. An alien rock, dubbed Element 115, has become the source of energy for these zombies to continue thriving, reanimating long-dead survivors. This element, unfortunately, attracted an unknown extraterrestrial race from another universe - the Apothicons. These creatures were once said to devour and consume entire worlds, feeding off any form of pure energy and life with an insatiable appetite. This, however, was the least of our worries. …

****DISCLAIMER**** This post does not reflect CoDz as a website, these words are my own and reflect my personal outlook on the situation. Please do not construe this as a flame war. Where to begin..... First off, the reason for this post is because recently there has been murmurs and what not that need to be addressed. 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.

Hey everyone! It's been a while since our staff has made a major announcement like this. I'd like to preface by apologizing for not being nearly as transparent as I'd like to be with these new changes. You may have seen some new things coming our way if you've been watching us closely on Twitter (and receiving our email newsletters the past few months). With this new announcement, we - myself, the staff, and our new friends - are making big changes and want everyone to know what's going on. We're happy to announce that Call of Duty Zombies is officially a part of the Collateral Network! For those out of the loop, CoDZ is now being managed not only …

Alright so, I thought it would be so friggin' cool if Call Of Duty Zombies had its own amusement park. With Rated M Rides, so sorry children, you can't go on if you're scared of large amounts of blood. So, here's my amusement park! Name:CarbonLand! Rides!:The Waffle Womp! (Spin around landers at fast speeds while the car your in spins clockwise really fast), Troll Post! (You see the Troll Post at the beginning of the ride, but the post is just a huge door!

It's time that CoDz gets a new avatar, so we'll be holding a contest! However, there is no guarantee that there will be a winner chosen. If there is no avatar that blows our minds, we will not be changing either the YouTube avatar or Twitter picture. Submissions to the contest will close on August 21. The winner, or lack thereof, will be decided shortly after. Thanks to everyone for the ideas and the help with finalizing everything. First, the rules.

The Shadow Sanctum (shadowsanctum.net) is a database of resources for fans of the classic radio/comic/television master of darkness, The Shadow. Last month, Call of Duty and CODZ Forums made a cameo in the pop culture database in an entry discussing the parallels between Shadows of Evil/The Shadow Man/CODZ timeline anomalies and The Shadow. See the entry "Call of The Shadow" at: http://www.shadowsanctum.net/interactive/interactive_tidbits-misc.html Tip: Ctrl+F/page search for Call of The Shadow, or any relevant keywords, i.e., "Call of Duty."

Yeah, I was thinking, newspapers have little strips, after my mate saw me doodling a CoDz stickman, he said it was good. So I thought quickly that it would be cool if I did one every month on a topic you asked for, and it could be shown on the main page, like 'cartoon strip of March, etc' so if theres a topic relating to the cod news, like first stike, I could draw up a little cartoon on it what do you think? Here are some ideas, feel free to post your own, as that's how I get the topics! And remember, they will be funny! So If you want a rant, i could do one, but probably full of jokes. -CoDz on camping -CoDz on first strike -there's something about Fi…

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…
