How to be a good CoDZ User

[ccm404e]

A little guide on how to become a well known, respected member of the CoDZ Community. I'll put some of the obvious and basic things to get yourself looking professional and like a good user. Also a handy guide on how to get [brains] faster.

Be nice! Very simple, try and be a nice person. Respect other people's ideas and don't hate on things.

Get a decent Avatar. Something that represents you and is relevant. Mine's a brilliant example. My name and a picture of a Zombie. MrRoflWaffles is also a great example. A Waffle, Rofl-ing...

Have a relevant signature. Pictures if you like. Quotes, Your highest round on different Maps. Whatever. Just make sure it gives relevant information. Links to random websites and pictures of Ice Cream, however awesome Ice Cream is, isn't really relevant.

Try and get into a usergroup. I've found that if you're in a usergroup, and your name is a bit bolder and in a bright colour, people will tend to look at your posts more. There are usergroups for quite a few things, so look through the list and find one you fall into.

Write good posts and theories. If you're posting good, well thought through and interesting theories, people will take interest in you and give your posts [brains] . Always try to research your theories and think them through as much as you can. Once you think they're good enough to post, post it. Make sure it has a good point or question, backed up with hard evidence.

Title your thread appropriately. You'll get much more helpful responses when your title is appropriate.

Posting in the right Forum Section. This is crucial.

Use the search button to determine if a topic has been made before making a new thread to avoid repeat topics.

Large Posts. Try to make one large post that has a brilliant theory and very good evidence that users will attribute to you.

WWK. The WWK group is a great group for writers, not sure if it is open right now.

Report Button. Reporting spam and hate threads is a good way to get more onto the mods side. But remember, don't report something just because you disagree with it. The thread should be either spam or just a completely pointless thread. Such as "RAY GUN IS MAXIS IN DISGUISE" or something that is created just to inflame.

There are many, many more things that make a good and respected CoDZ User. Post your own ideas below and i'll add them into this post. Let's try and make this a good guide on how to become a better CoDZ User.

Too bad there's no Usergroup for American Males that have been here less than a year.

Damn you Zombshes and UK Zombies!!! I want to be a part of something!

Seriously though, good post. [brains]

[Shooter]

Brilliant. Thanks buddy. This is what I was hoping for this thread. Other members adding little bits to a guide to being a good CoDZ user.

One thing that I know will blast you ahead to epic status is to make on large post that people will attribute to you. I wrote a thing on the CoD HQ, then moved to being a writer on the old CoDz forum. Alpha Snake made his plotline. Anti-Earth made his "Dr. Clarke is the Theif" post. Each member has one turning point that they are remembered for.

Become a CoDz Elite:

CoDz is in it's element during a time where some form of codebreaking must occure, usually involving the entire community. I remember during GKnova6, we had a group of codebreakers banded together that would rival Anti-Sec themselves. If you are not into codebreaking, try theorising or researching. All of these are needed in a situation like this. You want to be an Elite? Get in one one of the virals!

Thanks buddy.

Any time old friend.

Awesome tips... kinda sucks though I don't fall into any of the categories for a usergroup.

[Strwrsbob]

reporting threads is a good way to make the mods like you :)

[Sigint]

I thought they would just get annoyed because of the heaps of stupid spam bots going around

Great post by the way. About the avatar thing, i cant really have one that relates to my name... well not anything thats appropriate

@Johnson

Srgt. Johnson from Halo? Just throwing out an idea...

Anyways great post! Very informative, I can say for myself I've checked all those things off especially the Avatar part since I finally go around to making an Avatar that represents my Username. But still need a Usergroup but that will change on Aug. 13th (Did you know I joined on Fri. 13th at 3:33 Lot's of 3's and a very great day! ?*Sarcasm*)

RT on twitter stands for retweet

Being a complete Twitter newbie... explain?

[qwest]

Only thing is I tend to have a problem with putting pics in my sig and putting the words in different colors. By that I mean I don't kno how asu can see in my sig

[ccm404e]

There are some good posts in the info section to help you out with working CoDZ' many features.

RT on twitter stands for retweet

Being a complete Twitter newbie... explain?

When somebody tweets something they want their followers to know, they click retweet and it will show that tweet to their followers regardless of who posted it.

[ccm404e]

So Carbon has tweeted this?

[Lizizadolphin]

So Carbon has tweeted this?

I think it's basically meant as a joke on here, but it basically means that what you said was a good point
