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.

With the most recent update a few changes occurred within the most recent version which has thrown a few things out of sync. This was tested on the our test site before the update but it wasn't the same when transferred to the live site. We apologise for this, we are working hard to get things back to normal. truth be told I'm currently reworking the entire stylesheet and changes to the core to get us back to how things should be, To give you an idea. this is how I'm currently using CoDz. Our stylesheet has over 3000 lines, which all needs to be checked and corrected due to the upgrade and browser checks performed. It's taken a litt…

I am an avid "New Content" user, and I want to make sure everyone knows the feature is still here - and that @Hells Warrriormade it specifically to fill the void after the developers of the forum software cut it out. In the top menu, under My Activity Streams - you will find New Topics & Posts. From there, you can switch between Expanded View (chronologically showcasing the most recent threads, and most recent post in that thread) and Condensed View (chronologically showcasing the most recent threads). It's going to take some getting used to. Please keep in mind that the…

So, we went offline today to apply a new update which fixed several bugs and introduced some new features. It was scheduled to take roughly an hour but I opted to take a full directory back up and full SQL database backup separately from the normal backup that is processed (pretty standard before doing any changes). It took longer than I thought to download these files. When we came back online everything was good, minor style issues due to the change and things missed during testing which will be fixed ASAP. I then caused then error with the site downtime after that, due to storage change for images which caused an error with the …

It is with sad news, that I have to report that @way2g00d has decided to retire from staff duties at callofdutyzombies.com It was certainly an announcement which took us by surprise, Way has been here since forever (April 2011) and it is with sadness that we move Way into the Veterans usergroup (well deserved though). The site has been through many changes since Way joined and from what I gather this is Way's first topic. Way has over 5,700 posts on this site since 2011, a high achievement and to be commened, not for posting just for the sake of it but for the content and quality of his posts over the years. He post back in November 2012, the bus driver quotes fro…

Times have changed and so have we! How times have changed. A once strict policy that was respected by many on CoDZ has been adapted. The well known 'No Leaks' rule that was the epitome of this great forum is now no longer the condition it once was. This is not because we do not care... it's because we do care. We care enough about this forum not to lock it away from the outside world any longer. So what does this mean exactly? It means that people who are affiliated with Activision are now being used as marketing tools. Yep, these channels or individuals are now being taken in by Activision, Treyarch and other studios with the purpose of giving them exclusive intel …

A new update to the site is due out in the next few weeks, this is a feature release rather than a "bug" release. Unfortunately, we still have no information relating to User of The Month of Medals but we are working hard to ensure these return soon. This is a new software / feature released 4.1.0 and brings in some pretty hefty changes, some you'll like, some you may not (at first). Fear not though, I have been using the beta version of it for a few weeks and just put it live on our test site. So without further ado, what is changing? New menu We haven't discussed this as a team yet, whether to go with a double menu (now standard) or a single menu or if we keep this …

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…

Well here we are. In honor of my brother, and in true fashion of the greatest bromance CODZ has ever known, DarkJolteon, better known as Jolteon, also known as hjotl, is retiring from staff. I'm not sure how many words need to be said about Jolteon, or rather, Kieran, but many of you will know him as the friendly, jolly, and amazingly witty moderator. But if you haven't been around CODZ for too long, you may not know that Kieran wrote some of the best and brightest theories around here, the stuff of legend. His DARVAS and Parisian Catacombs theory (some of which can be found here) spawned a nearly viral YouTube video. His threads throughout the offseason between Black …

I'm currently working on a video database for the site, the idea behind this is quite simple really. One location for zombie related videos. This can be world records, easter egg guides, tutorials, strategies and so forth. This is how it looks just now. How it works is basically quite simple, it's using the same system we use for news and the "same" grid layout available to members from the themes section. Slightly different in that it is a 3x3 setup rather than a 2x2 setup (just a little code change). Anyone can add a video (member wise) - you can add some content for the video (i.e. some general info) and a link to the video (you don't even need to upload it, ju…

This is a new directory system we have implemented. You can find the link in the main menu. What is it? Basically is a directory system, which allows you to add your channel, whether that be YouTube, Twitch, uStream to the directory. This allows all members to add a channel without having to spam the forums with this information. If you want to promote your channel, then please feel free to do so by using the directory. Feel free to refer people to the channel page for you, using signature, or in a post "when it's relevant". We hope you find this addition useful, we hope you use it and if you have any questions. Let us know.

Hello CoDz, it's been a minute. Hopefully the staff doesn't mind me selecting this forum for this, but given my brother and I recently dusted off CoD and played some zombies as of late, I figured I'd pop in here and see who's still kicking it while everyone eagerly awaits another Treyarch season for the first time in several years now. And thus, got me thinking and brought me to this and doing what I do best, doodle. The title says it all. On behalf of nearing the next 3arc and Zombies season, one of YOU will be selected to win your own requested CoDz related fan art commission gratis from yours truly. Need some sample pieces? have a look: Uno Dos Tres If you're i…

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/

Hello CoDz folk! The day has been full of excitement and anticipation with our official Black Ops 3 Zombies reveal, however with the good news, as so often happens in life, must also come the bad. Today marks the end of an era for CoDz Forum, as our longest standing Moderator, Ehjookayted aka eyecntspel, or as some may know him Paolo, has retired from the CoDz Staffing team. I hope you will all join me in wishing Paolo the very best for the future of his gaming career, wherever it may take him. All jokes aside, Paolo has been an integral part of CoDz Staff for an incredible amount of time, joining the team in January 2012, a mere five months after joining the site…

We performed quite a large update today to address a couple of issues with the new software, we are now running the most up to date version of the software. We held off from performing previous update releases so that we could address pretty much most of them all at once. Some more updates are due to be released and new features will be coming shortly as well. Here is a brief list of what we addressed today. Many bugs fixed both from tickets and bug tracker. A focus on ticket-related issues. Many performance improvements. More will come in next release but you should see a difference. LegacyParser does not convert hyperlinked YouTube URLs that were parsed into videos i…

So, as a staff we've been wanting to get into the streaming scene over the last few months, but haven't really been able to execute as much as we'd like. Whether we've just all been busy or we haven't laid out a specific streaming schedule or we don't all have streaming capabilities, it's just kept us from actively pursuing it. As such, I figured I'd come to the community and ask some of the bigger questions. First of all, would you actually watch if we were to consistently stream gameplay? If so, how often would you like for us to stream? Who on the CoDz staff would you like to watch? What kind of games would you like to watch us play (obviously Black Ops 3 will be play…
