CoDZ is a place where we can express our love for Zombies and beyond in a civil and respected atmosphere where anyone can join in on the conversation and express themselves, no matter their usergroup, join date, their views, background, opinions or anything else really. Like @Tasha said, we're all here to have some fun.
Please don't assume the worst when someone posts something you don't like/agree with; try placing yourself in the poster's shoes before replying.
Furthermore, don't take things too serious and personally.
Life is a learning process, and receiving and voicing criticism is a big part of that.
Criticizing others should always be done in a reasonable, polite and constructive manner. That way you can both learn something from it.
Recently, I've seen a lot of pointless arguing that could've been easily avoided in a variety of ways. That's why I encourage everyone to make greater use of our report button.
In addition to making us aware of inappropriate posts, it's the best way to let every available mod know something's up, in turn allowing us to get up to speed on the situation quickly,
and step in if necessary to avoid further escalation.
Like @Chopper said, we staff members are humans too. Daily life influences our decisions and attitude around these parts, both positively and negatively, whether we like it or not.
And like everyone else, we make errors.
We've had many trolls, attention seekers and misleaders in the past and we'll certainly have many more in the future.
But that's absolutely no excuse to treat others in a different manner than you normally would.
