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.

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…

Should CoDz be a forum where quests can't view anything, and you have to be a member to see and post? When I first made CoDz, on that free forum that is how I had it. Only members could view content. What are your thoughts and opinions on this matter? Ready..... Go!

ATTENTION GENTLEFOLK OF CODZ: We have decided to implement a "Like" feature for content. It is only available to staff at the moment, but we want to give you a heads up so that as soon as we make it live, you can get to the "Like"-ing! You may remember this idea was tossed around a while back, and ultimately was scrapped. Why is it back, you ask? Excellent question! During the on-season, brains are hard to come by - but during the off season? Brains are pretty much non-existant! This isn't a bad thing, in fact it's in the nature of "Brains". "Brains" are intended for high quality posts that have clearly required research, theorization, and extraordina…

For a long time now, a call for a new Zombies wiki has been demanding and desired. The current ones available on the Internet are not exactly trustworthy, albeit containing massive amounts of information. But now, CoDz has their own Wiki system being opened up to the entire Community and a fresh start. http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page The wiki runs off an age-old system found on sites like Wikipedia. Since this system is new to our community, that means many, many, many pages have not been created, just waiting to be explored by you - the creator! Because this is a fresh wiki for us…

Hey Guys, The staff have been considering how to further increase the social aspect of this site, and an idea being discussed is regularly streamed events/playdates. Nothing is decided and we are looking for options. This plugin has been installed and this is an example of what it would look like on the site. An applet is also available which lists various different stream names and who is live currently. http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php?app=livestreams&module=streams§ion=stream&stream=3 We are looking for people who have the capability to stream and go into a somewhat rolling rota for official streams.

We have had our monthly staff meeting and as a result of this meeting the signature areas will be reduced, you will have 48 hours to reduce the size of signatures. We will be limit the signatures to 10 lines (from the 25 lines currently) this will need to incorporate any images and text that you have, so if you want to create a spoiler and put your images and such like within the spoiler (like my sig) then please do so. This change will come into effect on Saturday 7th June 2014 User profile information (next to the posts) - this will also be condensed, the custome fields for highs and so forth will be removed and moved to profile page, this will be changing w…

No, not that kind of Divinium. Thanks to @Hells Warrrior getting the system up and running, CoDz now has a form of "currency" called Divinium ! This currency is all forum-based and uses post/topic content and contest winnings as a monetary base. Divinium on the forum can be used for the CoDz store - a new and upcoming mod we have coming up soon where users can buy REAL products such as Xbox/Playstation/Steam cards, Zombies merchandise, special user ranks that can't be obtained anywhere else, and more! How does Divinium work? Divinium is a basic points system; you get +1 Divinium for each post and topic that's created. When we h…

First of all, let me say this: Happy Halloween! And on that note, seeing that zombies is such a hit on Halloween, the CoDz site will be hosting a special Halloween playdate. We will be playing the classic Call of Duty: World At War and of course we'll be playing some Zombies. The way this is going to work is that we will be hosting an MP Lobby where you guys and girls can join in. Once we've got enough people, we will break up into groups of four to head off and fight endless waves of undead nazis. Carbon will stay in the lobby as long as it takes for everyone to find partners, then he will be playing too with a lucky group of 3. If we need to, we will open up…

Hey guys, and welcome back to another rendition of the User of the Month competition. I apologize for getting this up rather late, but we can all blame a certain game that arrived in stores earlier this month for that. (Plus a whole bunch of other crazy stuff going on in my life.) Please post your nomination/s in a post below. Anyway, since this is up late, I'll let it slide into December and we will put up the poll the morning of December 2, and then the winner will be announced on the night of December 3. Thanks guys, and even though it's quite early, I hope you all enjoy a very happy holiday season.

Now, I'm not saying that these will be implemented as it's really not my decision but I was thinking for the photoshop users among us. Would you be interested in designing some smileys CoD Zombies related? They need to be the same size as the current emoticons and they need to be suitable for dark backgrounds. Anyone fancy the challenge, the more the merrier.

We are opening up the new site to all The frontpage is just a quick mock up and hasn't been completed or finalised. This very unlikely to be the final design of it. Just something for you all to get the idea of the landing page before accessing the forum. Quite a lot has changed, especially with the editor, you don't need to insert an image or click on more reply options to add attachments. Simply paste the link to an image, press enter and the image will appear, this is the same with soundcloud, youtube etc. The @ mention function, simply type @ then in lower case type the start of the persons username and a list will appear, you can select from that lis…

Alright, well if you didn't already know I extended the contest, you can check out the official global announcement for the details. I have also added a new group called....... "survivors" This group consists of members who have been on the new CoDz site for over a year and are still active. If I haven't already added you just PM me or post in here. Also I expect that as the months go on and more members qualify, be sure to keep sending me PM's as I will not be checking it everyday and adding people, so if you want to be in the group you have to notify me. Also I conjured up some nifty new fonts on the site for the logo on forum and homepage, as well as …
