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.

On a lot of forums for Black Ops, there are two topics that are repeatedly brought up: a reward for prestiging, and camo for secondaries/pistols. There may be a solution to both that is historically accurate to SOG: their silver pistol. A 9mm Browning hi power, chrome plated as a reward for completing an 'especially dramatic mission or high award. So perhaps this could be a reward for prestiging, similar to cod4's gold desert eagle. Ps. The source is John Plaster's picture book of sog. ( paid $50) Thoughts?

Well after Modern Warfare 2 being such a let down, I'm not as hyped for this game as I probably should be. I know that black ops isn't made by IW but I am still feeling the dissapointment that mw2 scared me with. But then again, this might not be a bad thing because at least this way, if I was hyped up and the game was bad, I would feel let down again but because I'm not too excited, I won't care as much this time if the game turns out bad. So I guess I'm saying thank you Modern Warfare 2 for being such a fail So, are you guys excited for Black Ops or not?

What Does IGN Want in Black Ops? IGN give a detailed breakdown of what they want to see in Call of Duty: Black Ops. We all know what we want to see in Black Ops. From a longer campaign mode to YouTube support, I think we can all say that there's some stuff we agree with and some stuff we don't. Either way, make sure you check out what they want below! Remember that these wishes aren't necessary the opinions and thoughts of Treyarch but rather that of IGN, therefore it doesn't mean than any of this is confirmed to be in the game but rather wished to be in the game. The wishes and opinions are that of Brian Miggels and Brian Altano, two Call of Duty fanatics at IGN.…

Here me out on this... My friend and I who play Xbox everyday together were talking decided that Modern Warfare 2 is extremely annoying because of the unbalanced killstreaks. We have both tried barebones, and although it is better, we still want SOME killstreaks. We thought it would be a great idea to have a certain game mode where the killstreaks were based on the killstreaks in COD 4 (a.k.a. arguably the best 1st person shooter to date). It was so simple with 3, 5 and 7 killstreaks and they were VERY balanced because everybody has the same killstreaks and they are by no stretch overpowering. What do you guys think? Vote in the poll and give your reasoning…

World at Wars Veteran mode was little more than increased damage, idiotic friendly AI, and a hell of a lot of spammed grenades. You didn't stand a chance if you stood up all the way. Enemies would run straight through the friendly line just to perform a one hit melee attack upon you. And a volley of grenades would constantly land surrounding you, with no place to run. I I still haven't completed blowtorch and corkscrew due to these factors. Specifically the banzai chargers that run past Roebuck, Polonsky, and everyone else just to get to me. Do you think Treyarch has improved this but not to the point of making it MW2 like. MW2's veteran was too easy to me.

Yes, I'm starting this up again. If any of you remember, I screwed the pooch a while back and made a... urg. Poor topic on the HQ about a mission where you track down JFK's shooter (yes carbon, I know you don't agree with this). In short an all out flame war started because of me. (Job well done?) Anywho, I found a tidbit on this controversy you may find interesting. Keep in mind that when I post this, I remain neutral on the matter. I give you JD's views on the matter: http://www.gamerzines.com/ps3/news/blac ... scene.html THINK BEFORE YOU POST!

I just made this trailer for black ops which is actually different clips from all trailers and gameplay put into one. The song I used is Almost Famous by eminem. I think this stands out from other remixes because there is actually sound in the background. So please watch and post what you think about it and like the video on youtube thanks! Here it is:

In this picture from the Gamestop pamphlet - It says "Four exclusive zombie maps from World At War updated for the Black Ops engine ($15 value) It would only be logical that Treyarch would also release the maps as DLC aside from getting them in the Prestige/hardened editions. What i'm worried about is the 15 dollar value. Do you think this is a sign that Activision is going to continue to release CoD DLC at 15 dollars a pop(or 1200 MSP)?

Well we all know that Infinity Ward is barley a company anymore, and Call of Duty is getting a bad rep after MW2. So will Treyarch make more Call of Dutys or will Black Ops be the last one? If so how long will they support it? And if it is I want it to go out with a BANG!! Oh yeah Treyarch if your reading this I love you and put zombies in Black Ops

So my question is which of these do you, the community, most want proof of? here's a list off the top of my head, feel free to add. - M1911 ( only seen on poster, cover art etc. ) - MAC-10 ( seen on OXM art ) - G11 ( GKNova doc 10 ) - China Lake Grenade Launcher ( doc 10 ) - Flamethrower ( doc 10 ) - Skorpion ( Treyarch airsoft gun wall ) - L85 ( gun wall ) - (Mini?)

It seems like Call of Duty Black Ops is the game Treyarch has been working the hardest on than any other game they have released. Which gave me a thought, what if their game is extremely successful, just like Modern Warfare 1 and they make Black Ops 2. I know Black Ops hasn't even been released yet but it was just a thought. So what do you guys think, would you like or dislike seeing Black Ops 2 on the shelves within the next 2-3 years?
