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.

Alright, this is going to be a fairly quick post. I just had a realization that I wanted to share. So, I was going around the Subreddit, and I came across a theory that Monty was completely unaware of what happens in Mob of the Dead and Gorod Krovi. I personally found several substantial flaws in the theory, but the one thing that was a bit interesting was the flickering perk machines. The theory stated that the machines were flickering because it wasn't Monty that put them there. One important observation that I made is what happens when the perk machines are turned off. You still have the perk you drank, however you don't have the effect. I would like to add…

"The Paradox Must be Resolved. The Loop Must be Closed." This quote has surfaced three times now. Three times under very different circumstances. The first is towards the end of the Origins Easter Egg Maxis will say "I must go to her. The paradox must be resolved. The loop must be closed". He says this right before he enters the portal that presumably takes him to Samantha. The second time we see this quote surface is in one of Der Eisendrache's radio messages,"Several individuals reported hearing the same exact words: I must go to her; the loop must be closed. While most accounts claim that the words were spoken by an unidentified individual, several seem to…

There were already mentions to the Aether in the early maps of CoDZ. The wall writing in Der Riese saying "Return through Aether", the teleporters, the radios. They all referred in some way to an electromagnetic realm beyond our perception. Black Ops 1 and 2 proved that even more. Once you accessed the Aether, you would become omnipotent, immortal and were able to communicate via Element 115. Element 115 was a bridge between our dimension, and the one above us. Despite its powers, the Aether became associated with Hell. Think about Fluffy becoming a Hellhound while teleporting through Aether. Richthofen becoming evil and insane after touching the with the Aeth…

Eheh, that rimes. Sort of. Anyway, it is Wednesday again and time for the fourth Order of the Forgotten Mysteries post! This time we will head to a more recent, but equally intriguing oddity: Belinski square: A very prominent plaza in the centre of Stalingrad, in Gorod Krovi. It is the square with the infamous Barmaley Fountain: A statue depicting a circle of six children dancing around a crocodile. Originally meant as an artistic decoration of the city, it became a symbol associated with the blind and meaningless horror and destruction that had been terrorized Stalingrad for half a year: War. I have consulted a Russian online forum, asking how the…

Добрый день lovely people! I found it might be time to unearth another forgotten mystery from our story. If it wasn't for @RichKiller and @caljitsu recent notes about the pyramid on the Shadows of Evil wall, this thread wouldn't even exist, so a great thank you for the,! Now let's begin: As you might know, the depiction of the Great War on the wall in the secret city beneath Morg City, shows something that matches the most with the shape of a pyramid building. We've got pyramids all over the globe, by some believed to be built (with the help of) god-like creatures from the space above us or the world beneath our soil. The most striking pyramids in …

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…

Where do you think the vast zombies storyline is going next? Feel free to post any suggestions! I think that Sam is not happy being in Richtofen's body, so maybe she must be reborn (somehow) to be back in her female body. How this will be done I have no idea. What will be the main goal of the zombie team though? Now they know that Richtofen wants to control the world (hence he is controlling the zombies), so they will obviously stop it. Now they have Samantha, who knows from 1st hand knowledge, the best ways to kill zombies, so now they will be more efficient.

It is my personal belief that the poster is an indication that the Treyarch Zombie team has gone in a whole new direction. I know the following is pretty loose and I am extrapolating from a tiny amount of information and influenced by personal bias, but here we go. First off the story arc. WaW zombies was darn cool but it is my belief that when our group got to Der Reise it was meant to be the end. I mean really, we went to the origin of the zombies. For what it was meant to be the story was done. But it was a really popular game mode so they needed to put it in BOps. So they needed to stretch this thing out. It got really weird and twisted. JMO but w…

Firstly, I would like to thank "Tac", he pointed out that the Red Army invaded Manchuria to fight the Japanese at the end of WW2. Seriously, I'm a history major. How the hell did I overlook that!? First let's start with the most obvious Tank Dempsey: Was dispatched to Wittenau Sanitorium(Verruckt) in order to extract Dr. Peter M. but was captured. Dr. Richtofen was suspicious of Dr. Peter so had him watched closely and the soldiers at Wittenau became aware that a highly trained soldier(Marine) was headed there. Trap sprung and Tank captured for questioning-but Richtofen used him instead. Nikolai Belinski:Feared soldier of the Red Army, he was always forced to …

So the story is so far.. Locations: Everybody is pretty certain tranzit is in the west of America and Nuketown is before and in Nevada. Characters: Marlton: Is a genius and was trapped in the nuketown bunker and was formerly with another group. He has close ties with the CIA and CDC. Russman: No-one really knows what he did or he ties in with the story. Misty: Same with Russman but some say she has ties with the CIA. Stu: He is very much into conspiracy and into eating human flesh (making refrences to it. Know one is certain what he did or who he is. T.E.D.D: People know he was made by the bus company and drives around (no crap) and he mak…

Hi all. I originally posted this on the callofduty.com community forums, but I get the sense that you fine people take analysis of Easter Egg clues a little more seriously. I've got an alternative interpretation for a few of those morse code messages. My approach was to assume that each of the messages actually served a practical and/or instructive purpose (because developers don't sit around writing morse code into traffic lights for no reason). Here's what I came up with: Help me so I can help you - The messenger has a task for you, and apparently it's in your best interests to complete it. Power is knowledge - Interpreted bluntly, Gain the Power and yo…

I just realized that that group 935 (except Richthofen) must be dead or at leased very old and worn out. You see spending lots of time in space your bones start to deteriorate and your muscles become weaker. They spent decades in space, from maxis quotes saying "I have spent decades trying find survivors". But of course the exact time is unknown to us that group 935 spent on the moon, and the amount of element 115 poisoning that have endured...

Hello everyone, as most of us already know, on January 24th JimmyZ tweeted the following: "Where there's a bomb, there is also a brain. But what's this? It's happening all over again..." Now, most everyone is saying that this points to Marlton at the bomb shelter on Nuketown zombies, but I'm not so sure. I haven't really done a lot of digging, and I could be completely wrong here, but I was just thinking about the allusion to a "Bomb". Sure, it more than likely is hinting us towards Nuketown, but what about something in World at War? Think about this... "It's happening all over again..." so, when was the first instance of this happening? Certainly not Nuket…

I'd like to get opinions for this. This is a theory. I have no facts for this, I'd just like opinions, or someone to give me facts that contradict this theory. I believe the old characters were reincarnated. As the new 4. Tank-Misty, Nikolai-Marlton, Takeo-Russman, Richtofen-Samuel. Please give opinions on what you think! Please!

Thanks to Pinnaz and InfestLithium for kind of inspiring this post in a comment I cannot seem to find. My theory is that there is a third entity, like Maxis and Rictofen. Like Pinnaz said about colour influences, Orange is Samantha, Blue and Rictofen and so on, but what is purple? The colour of the mystery box or more importantly, the colour of the beam that shot the new survivors across the earth the the GLF. Some have said that this could be the voice in Stulinger's head, but some have also said that is just distorted Richtofen and it goes away when the power is on, Samantha was able to be in human form when she was an entity, since she was crying in a room in…

Hello Everyone its me again so quick note if you dont wish to read my horrid grammar and spelling there is a video at the bottom of the post that i all did with only zombie Cinematics as well as explaining the theory and but now on to the theory ! So by the title you already know kinda what iam getting at so basically in the Tv transmission from maxis in tranzit explaining his plan of using global Polarization Devices AKA the towers that we are lighting up on each map. Now we know in tranzit that emps basicly cut off the zombies connection with rictofhen for a breif amount of time, my idea is that it could be possible that maxis uses a Global emp caused by the tower…

I noticed this a while ago and have been going back to past maps and finding more and more strange things. Many people know that the Group 935 logo has changed before. What most people don't know is that there are at least four different Group 935 logos. In this post, I will be showing the different logos, and where they can be found. The change is seen in the forearm. Group 935 Logo #1: This logo is consistently seen in WaW, BO1, and most of BO2. It is the logo seen on the hat of the Monkey Bomb in all maps (but not the Cymbal Monkey). The Monkey bomb in The Giant Fly Trap EE has this logo on its hat. Forearm: Two light…

So I'm confused about whether or not the Edward we played as in world at war and black ops is an older version of the 2.0 version.Is the 2.0 going back in time to change the result of what took place in buried? what I gathered but don't know if it'a right is that 2.0 went back in time to when he first met the crew to prevent himself from taking the actions of what led to moon so none of these things happen but when he helped the maxis drone get to Sam he caused the multiverse to happen basically what Monty tells us in gorod krovi. can someone tell me if that's right?

With the release of the Zombies Timeline (take a look here if you haven't seen it already: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13mvveTKpC-z1-bPLIMPBGnTerlsr-NgdLaIudg948Dk/mobilebasic#h.pl40pfsur8rq), I think we are given a bit more info about how the Multiverse, and messing it up, works. I would like to note that a few members of this site pointed everything of this out to me, and all I did is writing it down. ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSES, or parallel universes, are the various universes the Multiverse consists of. See the Multiverse as a big bubble, containing a lot of smaller bubbles within. Or a big room, containing many boxes within. These small bubbles or boxes …

What is Kustover Posten? Well the only reference we have to the place is in a single Moon audio reel. This is the transcript of the part of the audio reel we care about: See, here's the funny thing, we don't even know if what Schuster says IS "Kustover Posten", but it is the accepted transcription. Past this audio reel we really have nothing else to go off of in the story to determine exactly what this place is and what it is for, but we can speculate. First off, I am 99% confident the last word is Posten, and if that is the case it is a German location. I don't know if I didn't look hard enough, but I can't find anything on the meaning of …

With the end of Black Ops I, and the release of Black Ops II, it did not only seemed that Doctor Richthofen was a betrayal of his "friends", but also an ultimate evil. Corrupted by the Dark Apothican Power that lays within the MPD, he seemed to be a sadistic mind that wants only more power, and actually tries to gain that by enlisting a group of survivors who have to "mend the Rift". Spoiler Reasons why Richthofen is evil: > When Earth is blown up, only to decrease Richthofen's Aetherial power, the Doctor's first reaction is: >He constantly mocks and humiliates the survivors who help him. >He t…

Hey all, Recently I stumbled upon some very interesting quotes that can be heard during the Buried Easter Egg. They do not merely inform us about what we exactly do, but gives us small pieces of information about larger topics as well: The Aetherial energy, one of the most important yet not so prominent topics in our story. Oh, and not to forget this. It is basically a must-read if you want to understand the following, but I guess those interested in topics like this know it already. So get yourself something to drink, and lets get started: The Lantern These quotes can be heard during the Lantern step. On Richthofen’s side, one mu…

Oy mateys, I gotta say, this week's Order is a little bit different than usual. It is not discussing a real forgotten mystery, but rather a theme that has never been abandoned by the developers, yet has been overlooked often. As we are discussing Christian and Biblical subjects, I would like to note that I, who haven't read the Bible and used merely Wikipedia as my source, might be completely derailed here. The things I will mention do not necassery tie with the real beliefs of people who are Christian. Also special thanks to @NaBrZHunter, who helped me with rewrite some errors and misunderstandings! Ever since the start of early theorizing concerning Zombiolo…

Before we begin, a foreword: From the official Treyarch livestream for Apocalypse Z, we learn that after deciding to write 'Not Ready to Die', Brian Tuey, director of audio at Treyarch, gave M. Shadows and the other members of A7X the ENTIRE Storyline they had written at that point. It's important to stress how many ideas we are only seeing come to light now in Zombies were conceptualised back in Black Ops (such as The Cycle, 'The House', the Keepers and Apothicons [known by different names then], corruption via the Aether, etc.). We also learn that lots of the song is specifically from (Ultimis) Richtofen's perspective. This is the only time we have been concretely given…

I love spleens, you love spleens, we all love spleens! There is one spleen in particular, however, which will be important to today's discussion, and that is the spleen of Pablo Marinus: I decided to explore the spleen and its importance because it perplexed me why Richtofen would keep the spleen in stasis in Siberia, even leaving it there after he left to perform Operation Shield. It is in the very same type of vat as the Ultimis clones, so to Richtofen, this spleen must have some major importance. Let's run through what we know about the spleen to find out what that importance may be. A full eight months after being captured at De…
