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.

What do you think the best tactical grenade?
Last reply by YourDragon son, -
Anyone else think its about time they reduced the BLOPS 1 map pack prices or made one pack for all Zombies maps. BLOPS 2 has ignighted a love for Zombies I never had before, and I really want to play the other maps. 1200msp per map (I have no interest in MP so the other maps dont count) is way too expensive, I think all Zombies maps for 2000 msp would be reasonable. Maybe we should start some sort of petition. Who should this b aimed at? Activision or Treyarch?

So today me and my friend were lust looking around on the new maps (as we just got them today) and noticed a weird window on Hangar 18 (We confirmed that the yellow lights are the lights on the runway outside the map) It is at the bottom of D2 and the top of E2 (Sorry for the bad quality of the images, the were taken with my phone) Upon closer inspection, we found to portal- looking things And when you're barely still looking through the window, you can see two more portal-looking things So, that's about it, but if you have any thoughts, please post them!

In my opinion, I think that the Call of Duty franchise moves on a bit too quickly. Nearly every year a new game is brought out. Personally, I think that this takes away that 'special game' feeling. Don't get me wrong, I love the franchise, and I enjoy playing every single minute of campaign and online, but with CoD, you get the game, play it, and just as your begining to get into it, another CoD is announced. I don't think that we get much chance to feel the full impact of the game. We have been waiting for 3 years for a new Portal to come out, and one has been announced for April 2011. Half life 3 (or Half life 2: Episode 3) is still waiting to be announced. Halo Reach i…

http://www.gametrailers.com/episode/bonusround/410?ch=1 There is the player including all Bonus Round episodes (3 are still locked). According to Dave Anthony, they still have 5 Megabytes of space on the Black Ops game disc. That means they've compressed the game to the point that only 99% of the disc (thanks to ZombieNationZ) is used. Treyarch never ceases to amaze.

Before I say something,I want to point out that there might be a spoiler here. Does anyone remember what Dr.Steiner said when he fixated Mason with the numbers,he said he was not like the others,maybe other test subjects? Notice that the thief has numbers floating around him like crazy,maybe it's Steiner with goggles on after putting the numbers program in him? I think it might be a test subject or Steiner with the numbers telling him to kill JFK or take away his guns so he could have no chance against the zombies,after all,Dragovich originally programmed Mason to kill JFK...

I tried getting help from the forums on callofduty.com but no such luck so I'll try here. In combat record when you look at My Personal Bests they have some ridiculous stats. The one that sticks out the most is the "Highest Kills" stating that I have had 1023 kills in one game. Now before you just assume I'm a booster please continue reading. So pretty much all of my "Personal Best" say really high numbers such as Most headshots = 90, Most flag caps = 147 etc, but if this were true then this would affect some of the my other stats such as my Killstreak, Highest K/d in one game and Highest score in one game. If I had boosted 1023 kills in one game I would have a high …

Special thanks to Carbonfibah for the list. most of these are speculation with the exception of ice, which came from a game image off the wiki. ERDL: came in lowland, highland, and delta varieties. woodland style camo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERDL_pattern Tiger: may be based on tigerstripe patern used by special forces early in the war. woodland style camo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERDL_pattern Berlin: urban camo pattern developed for tanks: based on black, white, and grey color scheme used on WW2 battleships. Olive: lighter green camo, most likely standard military olive drab. Ice: light blue and white. http://callofduty.wikia.…

Ever since the release of black ops I have not been able to join my friends game invites and they can't join mine. We have tried SO many times and I am getting so annoyed I feel like throwing black ops out the window. But I don't want that to happen... I have a PS3. Have a NAT type of moderate. All my friends have a NAT type of either moderate or open. I am wondering if it is something I need to change or something Treyarch needs to fix. Any help or suggestions would be great help! Thanks! :D
