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.

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,…

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…

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…

Apologies for unexpected downtime, I forgot about the server bill needing to be paid. We then got suspended and I needed to wait for cash to clear balance. it reiterates the reliance on staff paying to keep the kettle on and the importance of donations. Again apologies, will try and ensure it doesn’t happen again.

I know you have heard this before, but please donate to Codz! Even little money would help. It would benefit Carbon tons! I'm sure we have young members, like myself, who can't give money like that, but we also have a handful of older users who could at least donate a few. Thank you for reading!

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!

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…

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…

I am pleased to announce that AlphaSnake has been made a CoDz moderator. His continued support and dedication to CoDz and the zombie game mode has been steadfast and he deserves to be recognized for his efforts. He has been instrumental on CoDz since the release of Black Ops. His theories, research and overall presence here on CoDz has been an incredible benefactor for me and in turn, you all. So again, I just want to thank you Alpha for all your hard work, and you deserve this position my friend. Congrats! [brains]

Dear CoDz, As some of you may already know, I got a job working at Treyarch. I start in February. Due to my new "awesome" job I won't be able to be active on social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, or this site. Sure I can post about boring details in my life, but I really can't be active on the site, due to NDA's and what have you. So in my absence Lissa and CovertGunman will be running things for me. If you ever need anything, you can always reach me on Twitter > @carbonfibah < I will save you the long winded story of the beginnings of the site and how far we have come. I couldn't have made CoDz the success that it is today with the he…

Hello all, and welcome back! As you all know, the site has a twitter, found here: https://twitter.com/CoDzombieforum Follow us there if you want to stay up to date on the forum's status! Anyway, if you'll notice, the twitter has over 73,500 followers, over 4 times more than users on CoDz. A lot of people see what we tweet. Big threads get even bigger if tweeted out. We have some of the best discussion and theories on the web about zombies, and we keep things clean and leak free. I think more people need get familiarized with CoDz love, and you guys can help!

This is just a disclaimer so everyone can know where I am at.... So as most of you know I now work at Treyarch, and because of that I had to relinquish my ownership of this site. I have passed on admin and financial responsibilities to Covert, Lissa and probably another person once Covert takes a break. So just so we are all clear, in terms of CoDz, I am simply the founder. The guy who built this site from the ground up and the creator of callofdutyzombies.com. I no longer run this site on a day to day basis. Ok, I just want to make sure that is clear to everyone. I wasn't expecting Lamia to confirm zombies so early in the year, however he has, so it is no longe…

"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 …

So one of our lovely survivors, yellow-card8 is suggesting we celebrate 115 day with some awesome zombie slaying action. I don't know if I'll be able to be on that day, but I love his idea and think that we should organize something. As a new PS3 Ambassador, I can't think of a better way to start off! So, let me know if you're interested and I'll see if we can coordinate something. Also, way2g00's zombie tournament starts up this weekend as well. Here's the tournament info (PS3 only)- viewtopic.php?f=13&t=18957 yellow-card8's original idea for 115 day- viewtopic.php?f=53&t=18961
