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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's that time of year again, friendos. With BO4 launch right around the corner, we're happy to announce Medals 2.0! You're thinking right - we're optimizing our medals by clearing old ones out to make room for brand new ones that correspond to a brand new feature coming out in less than two weeks (more info about that coming soon). That being said, we will be safely storing the following in the Aether as our goodbye: Spoiler Regular/Hardened/Veteran Post Ranks Hot Topic Introduction Storyteller Stuck Ztocking Ztuffer Rounds (Takeo through Samuel) …

Hi guys, now I know we were excited by some recent false news meant to occupy us while we waited for Black Ops so I just wanted to make a note here. This site is used by many people from all over the world and of all ages. So this means if you're flaming somebody on the site, you don't know whether or not that person is old, young, new or anything. Flaming not only disrespects the person(s) involved, but it also puts down the morale of people. Nobody wants to see all of the hatred and negativity... It has been an issue that is honestly gotten out of hand. People see someone as a bad person for trying to create some hype and they stick to that mindset and that's bad. …

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 …

It's had a little bit of a makeover. Basically we have put everything into a grid format and the main item is an image, we have under utlised the news section and I think we need to start using this more and more. Unfortunately, we simply don't have enough time in the working week/weekend to take care of this. So, I proposed something to the staff and I will propose it here as well. What I'm thinking is we look for 6 news editors, 2 from Asia/Australia, 2 from Europe and 2 from the USA. This allows us to keep news articles occurring throughout the day / week. It's not a staff position, it is a news editor position (stepping stone so to speak). No…

I am looking for trustworthy members with capture cards. I need new videos uploaded to the CoDz Youtube. I might even make a new group for the media stuff. People who run the youtube and possibly the twitter. In terms of youtube I am looking for trustworthy members who have capture cards and can capture, render, upload, etc... in some nice HD. The kinds of videos will be easter eggs, gameplay tips, strategies, gameplay, etc.... I am looking for at least half a dozen people to create this media team. The main qualification is having a capture card and being obviously have access to the computer, etc.... So post in here if you are interested…

There's been a lot of leaked Beta footage and other footage. I know it's awesome but please refrain from posting it on the forums. If someone wants to see it, please PM them. Same rules apply to the chat, try and avoid spoiling things for other members and make use of the handy Private Message system. Thanks. There is also a thread on this in General Discussion by carbonfibah (thanks Johnson). His is a little less specific but still the same general idea. The reason for this thread being, like carbon stated, that it's too much for the moderators to have to delete threads every 5-10 minutes because it's leaked footage or spoilers of Black Ops or other games. So …

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…

I have received the gift. It was a hat signed by Michael Condrey, a SledgeHammer Games magnet, a Sledgehammer games folder thing, a Call of Duty/SledgeHammer games Mouse pad, and a dollar bill. Something curios about the mouse pad, though, is that it shows little chemical things (The Hexagons) with OH on them (Hydroxide). I smell some more chemical warfare in MW3/Next COD that SHG is making... yyjqcftxuaI

We are now in the world of apps, we have at present our app live and available for download on the Apple App store. Now, I had a helluva fight with Apple trying to get the app name we wanted which was "CoDz Forum" or "callofdutyzombies.com" but due to trademark issues they wouldn't approve either of them. Even though CoDz is not trademarked or forum and callofdutyzombies.com is legally owned by us and we provided the proof that they required they refused due to association. So, the app is call "The Number One Zombies Community - for Call of Duty Zombies" as it was the name Apple basically said would be accepted (trust me, I've been figh…

PlayStation VR requires a PlayStation Camera for head-tracking purposes, but the only snag is that they're sold separately. Since this was revealed, Camera sales are up by 975%, according to VG247. And sales of PlayStation Move controllers are also on the up. Most PlayStation VR games can be played with a regular DualShock 4 controller, but a few require the PlayStation Move controller. PS VR has more than 160 games in development, with 50 games expected to be released by the end of the year. This includes Ubisoft's Eagle Flight, Guerrilla Games' RIGS and Sony's own VR Worlds, incorporating The London Heist, The Deep and Street Luge demos. It comes bund…

Hello all! As Call of Duty Zombies continues to progress and be improved upon, our staff members have to increasingly take on new responsibilities and tasks. Some of those responsibilities represent a significant portion of holding together the back bone and essential structure of the site. As such, it can become too much work for just one or two Administrators and a handful of Moderators. We begin to spread ourselves too thin between our Staff duties as well as our paid employment, families, and leisure time. With the introduction of numerous new and innovative features to the site in the last few weeks, and as we look forward to a time period in which we may…

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…

With a heavy heart. It has been several months since I have been active, I took some time out to spend more time with the family, concentrate on work and to generally enjoy life away from the site and gaming in general. At 40 years old this year, my time for gaming has dwindled Year or Year. So I have decided with a heavy heart to hang up my gloves and hand over the reigns to someone else. When I joined the team, the site had a few technical and staffing problems and as a team we got rejuvenated and pushed the site forward and self funded. We aren't quite self funded but close to it. I'm going to stick around for a few weeks in the background with the staff to discus…

Hey friendos! No, we haven't forgotten about you. Things have been rather slow on the Zombies front but many exciting changes happened throughout the past few months and we want to get everyone up to speed. First and foremost, the staff have decided to bring back our Dwellers group and add new trainees under it! For those who are much newer to CoDz, the Dwellers group was once a interim-staff inclusion group that highlighted prominent leaders within the community. These individuals contributed time, effort, quality, and most importantly, passion for CoDz. While everyone deserves some kind of title like this (being honest!), these particular users c…
