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.

Was doing a quick analysis of the BOTD intro. Noticed the following: This is the way up the book/ apothicon symbols should be. Notice the zombie symbol etc. Now look at the pages inside when cover is the correct way up.. Look at the paths on the right hand side of the book. They are clearly the paths from the left side of the timeline but flipped. Also notice the Lunar Lander and PaP on the left page ingame are from the right page on the timeline. This means the timeline we read needs to be rotated 180 degrees to align correctly with the symbols on the cover. Now, notice how Richtofen reads the book. S…

Working through the SOE game files. Noticed the inclusion of: i_t7_zm_zod_prison_map_c.png i_t7_zm_zod_generator_map_c.png Notice on the MOTD map how the bottom x-axis is placed "incorrectly" (does not line up with the grid squares) This same axis is missing from the Origins map. And it is the top where the offset is wrong. Seems to imply the Origins axis read as if flipped in the x axis? (bottom left corner motd becomes top left corner origins) (x: a,b,c,d,e,f,g y: 4,3,2,1 top to bottom) Or even more simply, the offset is there to show that generators 1,2,6 would be in different grid squares to how they app…

(Moving my main comment from an unrelated thread here to begin a new discussion without taking away from the original post, I'll include @anonymous's response here as well to avoid redundancy on their end.) A topic that has surfaced more than once involves the red and blue lights throughout the skybox of Revelations. We assume the red and blue lights are Monty and Shadowman / Keeper and Apothicon in conflict, but what if it was the Aether and Dark Aether in freeform due to Revelations existing outside the bounds of time and space. Red symbolizes Dark Aether, and Blue symbolizes Aether (or vice versa, I'll explain points for each in time). The Corr…

I was going to pose this as a Discord question, but there's a lot more that goes into it that I think should be documented. So when Shangri-La is undergoing the eclipse, it is verifiably in 1956, in an infinite cycle as Brock and Gary arrive and get killed, only to restart again and again ad nauseum with seemingly no awareness that they are in a cycle. It is also on Mars. But what about outside the eclipse, when it is daylight? This seems to be outside the cycle, which allows Ultimis to drop in and out as they please to assist Brock and Gary, and have real time effects on the "present" such as the radios and the focusing stone being available. This…

I was going through some Tranzit and Die Rise quotes of Samuel Stuhlinger and came upon some interesting ones, thought I should share. Ever since Tranzit we have had suspictions that Stuhlinger had a book, but it wasn't untill Buried that we actually saw it on his model: Spoiler The first model being the Buried one, with a clear book in his right pocket. The Die Rise/Tranzit model doesn't seem to have one. However, if you look to the backside of Stuh's model in Tranzit/Die Rise, there seems to be something in his pocket. So it could be assumed that he had this book all along but the developers put it in a more visible pocket at Bur…

Did we ever manage to translate this? I looked online and couldn't find anything about it. Text as far as I can read it: O DM IVIINED (or possibly IVIIIVED) RFSTEVNI VSPHOERIO GONIVGI DC????IN Anyone know more about this? EDIT:Found 1x previous thread https://www.callofdutyzombies.com/topic/181859-examining-the-roman-latin-tombstone-in-pap-room/ But it was inconclusive and pretty old.

In 1945, shortly before his seemingly disappearance, Doctor Richtofen requests the United States and possibly also the Soviet Union to built a Global Polarization Device. The importance of this request is revealed in the Black Ops II Easter Egg Quests, where Victis have to construct three 'Spires' to establish ethereal control for either Maxis or Richtofen. But are those the only Polarization Devices? Are those the ones previously constructed by the American or Soviet government? Jackass Flats, or Area 25, was a military test site of nuclear-powered rocket engines in the Cold War. In order to measure the radiation, the 465 meter-high BREN Tower was constructed for…

Just a small story connection here between the Illuminati and the Ancient Order of the Keepers. There are only two references to "Order" (Capital "O") in the timeline. In the beginning JANUARY 24TH, 1940 Richtofen renounces his involvement with the Illuminati. When asked how he could abandon his obligation to the Order he says, “Teddy was a liar.” Dimension 63 FEBRUARY 13TH, 1944 A fruit vendor tells the Reporter about the Ancient Order of the Keepers, and how they're the only ones “holding back the forces of the apocalypse.” He talks of people hearing "chanting... from beneath the city." -----------------…

In the latest Podcast der Toten, Rad, Mattzs and Tac notice the odd yet striking similarity between the Excavation Drill in Origins and the one at Groom Lake. One could speculate that either one of the parties, Broken Arrow or Group 935, inspired the other. Logically, as Group 935 is an organization being active prior to Broken Arrow, you might argue that it was G935 that came up with the design originally, being backwards developed in the Cold War by the Broken Arrow program. However, I’m of the opinion that it was rather reversed. Enjoy this thread! I always found the name Origins a bit twisted. Chronologically it is the first map taking place, in 1918, and…

The Zombies story is filled with countless secretive, sinister organizations all following twisted agendas. One of these organizations that is often forgotten is the Majestic 12, introduced in the first chapter of the Black Ops series. Not to be confused with the Hateful 8, the Majestic 12 is a purported organization that appears in UFO conspiracy theories. It is claimed to be the code name of an alleged secret committee of scientists, military leaders, and government officials to facilitate recovery and investigation of extraterrestrial beings and technology. It was formed in 1947 by an executive order by American president Harry S. Truman to facilitate recovery and inve…

For those who wish to see the video version of this post: https://bit.ly/2NAgtdC However, if you wish to instead read my thread or have a transcipt, keep reading: Mob of the Dead, and its reimagining, Blood of the Dead are maps based on the Alcatraz State Penitentiary. In these maps lie a villainous character known as Brutus, or Warden, or Cellbreaker. In the original version, Brutus has little to no kind of backstory, yet with Blood of the Dead, we finally get some insight on who he exactly is. But with Mob/Blood of the Dead being such an interesting map, with an interesting story and such; it made me wonder how the wardens who held th…

Yesterday I was just spit-balling some ideas regarding the Nova Crawlers with @Mattzs, trying to reconcile the old theory that they are related to the Keepers in some way with the new information that their bodies were once pigs. I have a theory that might have some broader implications on the history of humanity and its relation to the Keepers, so bear with me for a bit. Let's start with the crawlers themselves. Here we have some extra info about them from Classified: Notice how the pig is labeled as pre-transformation, while the final nova crawler is labeled as post-transformation. The crawlers are certainly pigs that have been genetically …

This is a random, short theory that suddenly popped in my mind, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt because it has zero proof and I am writing this at an early hangover morning, but it might be a nice thing to think about. So we always had 5 confirmed 115 meteorite locations: Shi no Numa (presumably the Dyarrl Island meteorite, 1933), Tunguska (1908), Groom Lake, Der Riese and Moon (Mare Crisium). Other meteorite locations that are hinted to in our story and could therefore be assumed to contain the 115th element are Chicora, US, 1938 (hinted in Verrückt), Nantan, China, 1516 (possibly hinted in Kino der Toten) and Morg City, US, 1944. Shangri…

With his threatening appearance and questionable moveset, it makes for an interesting discussion. This video will discuss my theory, with the help of my friends, on who the Napalm Zombie is, and what his true origins are. First off, let's discuss what Shangri-La was supposed to be… What it was supposed to be: Looking in the gamefiles, we can see that Shangri-La was supposed to …

So in Gorod Krovi we got this quote from Dr. Monty: "Now, if it had been entirely up to me, you numbskulls would be the last people I would entrust with this. But, due to factors outside my control... you're all I've got." I don't know if we have an answer to this sentence yet. So there could be two possible solutions: The first would be that Ultimis Richtofen took the essence of his soul and the rest of Ultimis to forge the elemental fragment, "bound their souls to Aether." This would involve Primis as well. With this, Dr. Monty and his intervention in Origins would have Primis in a perfect state to put them in a cycle (with the help of…

Nan Madol is a ruined, partly overflooded city on the island of Pohnpei "upon (pohn) a stone altar (pei)", around the tropical equator in the Pacific. The site core with its stone walls encloses an area approximately 1.5 km long by 0.5 km wide and it contains nearly 100 artificial islets, stone and coral fill platforms, bordered by tidal canals. The original name of Nan Madol was Soun Nan-leng (Reef of Heaven), and it was the capital of the Saudeleur Dynasty until 1928. Nan Madol functioned as an inspiration for Lovecraft's lost city R'lyeh, and both locations are close to the Pacific pole of inaccessibility (48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W), a point in the ocean farthest…

Guten tag leute, it's that time again! The 16th episode of our Order of Forgotten Mysteries again, man how far we've become. Honestly, upon creating the first one I honestly didn't knew what to think. I didn't knew if people would like it or not, react on it or not, and discuss about it like I imagined. I wanna say I really appreciate all you crazy story fanatics that have caused our Order to have reached this far. Anyway, that saying, I'll quickly move on to the real matter we'll discuss this time: The Dropa Stones. I'd like to credit Cal and Rich for noting this topic, as well as @MixMasterNut, along as TheFlame150 from the PlayTheGame Forums and BcR151 from…

While sitting home these days I gotta admit, there is plenty of stuff to dwell about... Plenty of stuff to discuss as well. One point we really gotta talk about are the Denizens. In Tranzit, Treyarch seemed to have created their own cyptids: pseudosciencific anecdotal creatures mostly based on urban legends, folklore and rumours. Interesting enough, the Pacific West coast of the United States is a geographical area that is widely associated with crytoid folklore. Tranzit takes place in a rural area in Washington, a state with a diverse environment; there are lowlands, fjords, rivers, glaciers, and mountains (which include several volcanoes). All of these varying landscape…

Okay I've gone down a bit of a rabbit hole in the CIA servers and am at a loss and also my head hurts so here's what I've got: On October 24, 1955 Vannevar Bush sends a message to J. Robert Oppenheimer with poems written by John "Banana" which were recovered at Verruckt. Here's an excerpt from that message: DK-MFK is a hint on how to login to the CIA account of someone named D. King. When you log into his account, you find only one irrelevant email that was sent to all users about cupcakes. However, he has many .txt files that contain haikus, and one image. The haikus are related to missions in the campaign, basically explaining what happens in each, with …

Okay this is probabily among one of the weirdest connections/threads I ever made and it likely, very likey, just a pareidolia I've got but I thought "why not share it". So there's that map Hijacked in the Campaign of Black Ops II (after WWII still my favourite MP so I occasionally still play it). The map was released in the time of Zielinski being in charge, and if I recall correctly he mostly tried to tie both Campaign and Multiplayer mode with zombies, all modes being canon in each other's universes. Or sort of. Anyway, keeping this in mind, we'll venture in the map Hijacked, because the map houses some interesting items. First, sorry for the bad …

Perhaps among the most famous things that bothered and interested the zombie community for a long time was the importance of the capital of France. We knew for a long time that Black Ops I’s final DLC was originally planned to include a map set in Paris, which was last minute changed to the fan-favourite Moon. But besides the fact that the Moon map files were still named ‘Paris’, we had no clue about how the hypothesized map would actually look like, concerning gameplay, layout and story. A couple of years ago Blundell ended the developers’ silence about this topic in a short interview with some youtuber. He described the spawn room instead of Area 51 to be beneath the Ei…

So I finally got around to making this post. First I want to point out that not everything discussed here is new (some stuff is actually quite old), but as far as I'm concerned the most of it is new. There are several interesting ties between events that happened IRL and the zombies lore, However, when searching "Mob of the dead" in real life, you find the famous escape story from Alcatraz. The point of this thread is to expose deeper connections to a different part in history. Since there are many connections, I'm surely going to miss a few, but you'll get the idea and the main connections. I want to start with where I started to discover these connecti…
