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.

Hey Guys, We are going with TOTW, and Craig has already installed the mod/hook and it's populated with the biggest thread CODZ has produced, MMX trilogy. There are still a few different and contrasting suggestions as to how we will implement this, so I'm going to poll it. Main things are who decides the winner, should we invite thread suggestions and should there be a medal? Thanks guys, Chopper

Hey Team, I wanted to talk briefly about the organization of the main page and some areas I personally think are an opportunity. If you are familiar with any of my larger threads you will notice that I am a firm believer of organization and simplification (i.e. A place for everything and everything in its place). Although I never completed this one, it is a prime example http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/158528-black-ops-2-users-guide-work-in-progress/. I think the current layout of our main page has so many sections that the overall navigation has become difficult if not using New Content or Search buttons. If you take a look at overall utilization…

Tac won! See you next month! <a puff of BLUE smoke> "That makes more sense." the crowd collectively says. It's all a real blur, this past month. We were all playing some kind of game, or something - I don't know, something about zombies. @Kill_All_Monkeys I hope you enjoyed your UOTM-ship, it was well deserved. Get that nomination on, let's see some CONTENT LINKS please. Just a sentence or two needs to be backed up - and if you don't know what I mean: How It Works Step 1. Browse the forum. Look around, if you really weren't here during the month, please don't put up …

Call of Duty fans, rejoice! Coming on Thursday, March 31st (only two days from now!!), is the first look into Black Ops 3's DLC 2. Many were expecting a Zombies trailer similar to Nikolai's Memories (read a breakdown here) to appear today, but alas it has not happened yet. Perhaps as compensation (or purely coincidental), the Call of Duty twitter account sent out a tweet letting us know that the wait is almost over. Note that while the franchise says this is our "first look" at DLC 2, it really isn't. Remember that just a couple weeks ago, an image of the Zombies map was leaked and spread like wildfire (by leaked, we mean the team at Activision messed up). For a brea…

No doubt you'll have noticed that we have upgraded the site and we now have a new theme, I'm sure you'll all agree it looks great and will take a little bit of getting used too. Hope you all like it, however, if you come across any bugs or such like, or something doesn't look/feel right. Please let us know below.

Once again, we have reached the end of the month and the beginning of the next is coming quickly. And with that new month, brings a new User of the Month. I'm going to do things a little differently this time around, so leave a post here with your nomination for UOTM. In a day or so we will open voting and the new User of the Month will be announced on November 1. Thanks again for participating.

I have joined your ranks. Broke down and picked up the discounted Black Ops off steam, only seemed right with a handful of first strike PC tokens in my hands ya so anyway I have it on PC and would love to play with you guys, not sure how it all works, the only time I have used steam was for beta testing games.

Congratulations Ragdo11706! Well, this is certainly a change in beat from the norm. I'm back in the hot seat running our monthly User of the Month contest. December's been a fantastic month with plenty of competent users, new easter egg discoveries, and plenty of Black Ops 3 news. Not only that but we just had Christmas yesterday, for those who celebrate it, as well as roughly 25 other religion based holidays this month. Not only that, but we saw the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which while I know isn't Zombies related, I've just been obsessed with it this past week. In honor of that, I suggest it's now time to begin the …

Y'ALL READY FOR THIS Welcome back slayers to the monthly User of the Month contest! After a very, very, very long haitus of no new cyan king/queen, we have finally kicked things back up (with popular demand of course). There is always a good sport that's deserving of the prestiguous robes and crown for the month, regardless of the decline in Zombies hype. For all you freshmeat who haven't of UotM, let your dear ol' papa Festo give you a short description of it: Basic Qualifications: Any nomination, will require a brief explanation, and example links of posts that show the qualities necessary for a User of the Mon…

I have been following the progress of the movie Iron Sky for a couple years now. Looks like it's finally done! I loved all the trailers over the years that they have released. I first stumbled upon this project years ago while doing some Nazi Zombie research for Call Of Duty Zombies. They were having funding issues and were not sure if they could finish the movie. The trailers they put out seemed ...to add to the hype and I guess they got all the funding they needed. They had a projected release date of a few years when I first found it and it was sad that such an awesome movie might never be made and if it was it wouldn't be out for years. It looks like years have passed…

As the title says, it is time for me to retire from the staff here at Codz. I just don't have the time to look after the site like I should be doing. I know this will come as a shock to some, but don't worry I will not be gone from CoDz. As a normal member I will be more able to focus on what I did best, which was making interesting posts & threads for the greater community. Plus I really want to finish NZC some time this year. Maybe in the future when my life gets less busy, I will return to a mod position within the ranks of Codz. Best regards Alpha.

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. [*:9pvqi1f5]Must include Call of Duty Zombies or CODZ somewhere in the picture. [*:9pvqi1f5]Must be under 700 KB in size (no exceptions, upload the [*:9pvqi1f5]Must be of equal length and width …

I was told I should post this in Site News instead of Introductions, so here it goes: Hey this is TacticalInsertion. I am looking for my password but can't find it yet. When I press "forgot my password" the one they give me doesn't work, so I made a new acct for the time being. When I find my old password (hopefully tonight) i'll switch back to that acct. I am going to be back for quite some time. I understand if any of you are pissed, but strwrsbob recruited me back. So basically, I hope I am still welcome?

Over the course of four and a half years we've had a great legacy of administrators for the site including @carbonfibah, @julez, @lissa110, @AlphaSnake, @Phantom, @Strwrsbob, and myself. Each has risen through the ranks showing leadership qualities that become noticed and utilized. They excel in each facet of their responsibilities and are incredibly supportive of the website and community we have established here. Each and every one of them has poured heart and soul and immense amounts of time into bettering the website to make it the best Zombies community out there. It is because of these legacy administrators that the site has become what it has today. Unfortunately, …

Hello everyone, I'm Flammenwerfer and I've got some news jelly for your ear breads. First of all, a new forum has been created under the "Zombie Stories & Theories" section called "Zombie Labs." This forum has been discussed already, but I'll touch up on it. In the recent months, many threads have popped up under Future Zombies that admittedly don't really "fit" the forum they're created in. These threads are mainly concepts and ideas, with some full blown Side Quest and DLC ideas thrown in. While these threads are certainly interesting reads, they don't necessarily contribute to the theorizing of actual future Zombie maps. As such, these threads have been moved t…
