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.

So, as a staff we've been wanting to get into the streaming scene over the last few months, but haven't really been able to execute as much as we'd like. Whether we've just all been busy or we haven't laid out a specific streaming schedule or we don't all have streaming capabilities, it's just kept us from actively pursuing it. As such, I figured I'd come to the community and ask some of the bigger questions. First of all, would you actually watch if we were to consistently stream gameplay? If so, how often would you like for us to stream? Who on the CoDz staff would you like to watch? What kind of games would you like to watch us play (obviously Black Ops 3 will be play…

Hall of Fame Class of 2019 Greetings everyone. Boomy, being the bright and fast thinking meme lord of CoDz, decided recently that it was time to award some new folks with the thunderous (hint hint) colour of the Hall of Fame from CoDz. So after days and nights of thinking and battles til death we first and foremost decided to give our friends @DeathBringerZen and @GRILL the honour not only for their great contributions as staff members, but also because they always were a big part of this cosy little community. I can not express enough gratitude towards both of you. Without the Grillmeister, I'd probably would not be on this site for longer than that o…

It is with great honour to add the following members to the hall of fame group @The Clay Bird | @BlindBusDrivr | @Rissole25 | @83457 | @FatedTitan | @Dahniska | @Superhands | @TheNathanNS Each and everyone of them deserve to be in the Hall of Fame group having provided CoDz with knowledge and understanding, friendship and more to many of the sites users both past and present. Some have gone on to other things but they'll always be respected on this site.

Good news, I went out and got myself an HD PVR. So now I can record stuff from the xbox. I will be recording playdates, easter eggs, gameplay, etc... most of it which is zombie related will be uploaded to the CoDz Youtube. So I am really going to try and get more videos on there and get it going. I still want people to add videos to the CoDz drop box, I may or may not add them, I am pretty picky, which is why I got an HD PVR so I can do it myself, lol anyway... so ya soon I will start pumping out videos on the codz youtube for the homepage for the black ops zombies sections, we will be doing what we know as videos and sections are added. More on that later on. my you…

We are going to be making some big changes to CoDz in the near future, but before we do anything we like to take the feedback of the community into the projects we develop, so we've made a questionnaire that we would like you to fill out, you don't have to if you don't want to. All results will be confidential and will only be shared between staff privately, you can talk to others about your choices if you wish. We won't know who responded, so everything is 100% anonymous, unless you choose for it to not be. You can fill out the questionnaire here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/vie ...

We have switched the chatroom service on, it has been tested and skinned accordingly to match CoDz. We are aware of the fact a chatroom once existed and impacted on the forum use. So remember, this is an open trial to all members for a period of 7 days and we will be monitoring the use of the forum and chat service. We have a log of all chats that occur, so remember, we know if you are not adhering to the rules - we also reserve the right to remove it at any given time. Have fun.

Hey All, We have introduced a new member usergroup, this comes before the members group & upon posting 5 posts New Members Will become Members. This does a couple of things for us, it allows us to track members that are actually active by simply looking at the board index "Who's Online". It also does a couple of other things, it will allow us to prevent "New Members" from accessing things such as chat until they have actually contributed to the site. So if you see a members name in orange, this means they are a "New Member" or a Newbie, Noob but we are going with the title "New Member". I'm still setting up the restrictions on the "New Member" group just now b…

All good and well for Halloween but not for a whole month, so I have enabled 2 name changes a month to allow you to change them back if you so wish (no abusing it, purely to allow you to change name back without asking staff to do it for you).

This is a new directory system we have implemented. You can find the link in the main menu. What is it? Basically is a directory system, which allows you to add your channel, whether that be YouTube, Twitch, uStream to the directory. This allows all members to add a channel without having to spam the forums with this information. If you want to promote your channel, then please feel free to do so by using the directory. Feel free to refer people to the channel page for you, using signature, or in a post "when it's relevant". We hope you find this addition useful, we hope you use it and if you have any questions. Let us know.

It has recently come to my attention that @BlindBusDrivr was part of the CODZ staff, yet somehow overlooked in our records. He was staff in 2011, and had the position of a Dweller - which is no longer a role. The dweller would act as a liaison between staff and the community. Blind has been an active member for some time, and has contributed a lot to CODZ. Please join me in welcoming him to the halls of veteran status.

I would like to apologise to some of our members, some members have opted to go dark until the DLC is released on the XBox One and there goes me and adds the Twitch channel on the main forum index live streaming Der Eisendrache. I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional, I actually just noticed during a game with @Covert Gunman - sorry about that, hope it didn't spoil anything.

The new and improved zombies video database. At the moment we have only enabled hotlinking to other media sites such as YouTube but we do have the ability to upload videos directly to CoDz, althouigh it would probably be better to link directly to them. However, what the aim of videos database has always been, was to bring a feature to the site that allows videos to all be found in the one location, yes you can search YouTube but what better way to find them by looking directly on CoDz for a zombie related video. We think it's a great feature but we need you the user to use the system, add your videos as we will add ours, lets make it a great feature and…

Hey friendos! Nobody likes being in the dark...unless you're Richtofen. That's why the staff has decided to do monthly public updates with the entire community to keep everyone alert on what's been happening around the forums. Think of it like your daily newspaper! Except, monthly...and not a paper...and there's no delivery boy on a bicycle to through it at your window so you could hobble outside and yell "blasted whippersnapper!". In these updates, we'll showcase all the newest additions to the site, changes (including some backend work - like a Behind The Scenes experience), and also works-in-progress. It's like being omnipotent, but on CoDz! …
