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.

Over time I found it a bit distracting when reading the forums and viewing pictures with the Der Riese image in the back. So I wanted to try something new. Smoke seems like a common Black Ops theme, so I decided to make some smoke backgrounds for the forum. Technically they are "clouds" from paint.net but they look kinda cool haha. Anyway, I just wanted to hear your opinions. I will be keeping it like this for a little while to see how I like it as well as the rest of you all. So post in here what you think, or suggestions, or even a better smoke haha. If you don't see it, try clearing your cookies.

Please welcome @DeathBringerZen to the team, he is now moderating the custom zombies discussion and maps forums. At this stage DBZ is part of the team and solely responsible for the customs section, his user title remains the same and he remains in the same usergroup he is currently in. However, we will need to work out a way to show DBZ as a staff member for these sections, I'm sure you will all congratulate DBZ and wish him well. If you have any questions or need any assistance then DBZ will be the first point of contact for the customs section and then any member of staff. Congrats @DeathBringerZen, great to have you as a part of the team.

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…

I need a hand with some scripting. I am going to explain why you have all been seeing so many errors on CoDz. One issue is that there could be some scripts that are not closing properly or fast enough and connections to the database are being filled up quickly. The host only allow I think 15 connections or so per user per database.( that doesn't mean only 15 users on the forum at a time) Right now I have the forum and the chat on one database with only one user assigned to it. Now If I add more users to the database that means more connections available. So say I add 4 more users, I now have 60 connections available to that database. Now the errors are not all the ti…

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 …

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…

*Please read this whole thread before making any actions or following any links* Ok, so my friend was getting extremely pissed off that he couldnt play with me or others because he had strict NAT in Black Ops, but in MW2 had Open I was looking around because i wanted to be able to play zombies with him. This is what i found: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/2wire/1000hg/fpadvert.htm Download that link. You WILL have to purchase an account, (if you REALLY have to, then you can just get a keygen for someones username and password). It costs $30, but as i said, you can get it for free if you dont want to pay. Once you have downloaded …

First of all, I would like to start off by saying that you absolutely MUST read our Forum Code of Conduct. You can find the CoC here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3 Like stated in that thread, anyone caught violating these rules will receive some form of punishment whether it be a simple warning or a permanent ban. Now, as an add on to the rules that we already have in place, I am instigating a new rule stating that any topic we find that is a repeat topic to any other topic that can be found on the first page of the forums, WILL BE DELETED. The user who also posted that topic will receive a warning. Any time this happens multiple times and it's from the same user it…

First of all: Carbon, If you are reading this, you should stop. This concerns a surprise for your birthday. So seriously. Stop. Now. Quit trying. Alright. So. Continuing on. What could we possibly do to make Carbon feel "special" for his monday birthday? I mean, it's not like he really needs brains (in one sense ^^). And other than donating to the site, what else could we do? That would be the biggest help, though we all know that many of us are broke teenagers that can barely survive our own jobs. So, I am open for ideas. Shoot me a message on here, twitter, or psn, and I will try to put something together. Afterall, we do owe him q…

The new and improved zombies video database. At the moment we have only enabled hotlinking to other media sites such as YouTube but we do have the ability to upload videos directly to CoDz, althouigh it would probably be better to link directly to them. However, what the aim of videos database has always been, was to bring a feature to the site that allows videos to all be found in the one location, yes you can search YouTube but what better way to find them by looking directly on CoDz for a zombie related video. We think it's a great feature but we need you the user to use the system, add your videos as we will add ours, lets make it a great feature and…

Alright, so in celebration of the one year (and two days as of this date) anniversary of this forum, we want to know what was the community's favorite memory on this site. Mine would have to be the reason I joined this site, the Shi No Numa contest that was held a few weeks after the site opened up, although my team was only a few rounds away from winning, it was still fun.

Nuketown was first introduced in the original Black Ops and was an instant fan-favorite, “with its fast, frenetic engagements and classic run-and-gun gameplay,” as Activision put it. They reintroduced the map in Black Ops 2 as Nuketown 2025 (plus Nuketown Zombies), and then did the same again in Black Ops 3 as Nuk3town. Also in Black Ops 3 was the Nuk3town Personalization Pack, containing a weapon camo, three reticles, and a calling card (for those into that kind of thing)! Well, great news for those who love Nuketown! The map, as well as the Personalization Pack, is now available for free for all Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC users! Along with this, Treyarch has added …

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, …
