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.

Before the update I had about 2-3 medals, but now they are gone...I feel that my contributions have been for nothing without any representation. Is there a way to fix this or am I for ever on, medal-less.

So, we went offline today to apply a new update which fixed several bugs and introduced some new features. It was scheduled to take roughly an hour but I opted to take a full directory back up and full SQL database backup separately from the normal backup that is processed (pretty standard before doing any changes). It took longer than I thought to download these files. When we came back online everything was good, minor style issues due to the change and things missed during testing which will be fixed ASAP. I then caused then error with the site downtime after that, due to storage change for images which caused an error with the …

Back in the day when the forums had just underwent the transition into the IPB forum software, we decided to set up a temporary frontpage that most of you have probably seen before. (In fact, you could still access the frontpage here.) With the makeover that this forum got, it was only necessary to re-do the new homepage as well. You may notice that the url "callofdutyzombies.com" will now automatically take you to the Homepage. Because...well, that's what a homepage is for. The new page features a ton of content, such as: Easy article navigating - explore the articles with ease, and even go to different articles while within one Social media sharing - now you can …

I used to go onto this forum when the previous website existed, but once it was gone i just left and stayed on the callofduty.com forums... So there may be a few intellectuals on that website that offer their opinions and semi-good ideas, but on here, i get real, legitimate answers with actual reasoning and thought behind them, it's so refreshing! So I just wanted to say thanks for being there Codz Community Keep up the good work!

Although apparently he would only be briefly seen, this would match up considering Nikolai was sent to war after killing his wives. Not really related to anything, but still, as far as zombies characters go, this is pretty cool.

Hi.. i'll just get straight to it. CoDz needs a new server provider. The current one takes nearly a minute to load a new page of a thread. I've never had to work with high-bandwith sites before, and I havent used this provider, but i definatly think this provider is worth checking out: http://www.ipage.com/web-hosting Any discussion?

This decision hasn't been taken lightly, no move ever is. However, we feel the time is right to make the move to a new server, which will give us more movement, more value for money, better support, better options and less limitations. So we have decided to jump to a new SSD (Solid State Drive) hosted VPS (Virtual Private Server). It is currently running our test development site @ http://www.codztestsite.com and if you wish to pop over and have a look and check out the speed differences then feel to do so. We are still doing some optimisation on it but it is a replica of the current forum from Sunday, we have the pagespeeds pretty good, with some additional optimisatio…

Well were just under three weeks away from the launch of Black Ops and I feel like we should get some planning done. I realize there are PS3 ambassadors for this matter but there is no leadership for the 360 playdates. I would like to hear some input from the Admins as well. I think we should plan out some inaugural playdates. The idea of a Midnight launch playdate as well. Anyone who would be interested in joining the CoDz community the night of release feel free to post below what time zone you're located in and what gametype you would like to play.

Just wanna update you (those who entered) where we are at with the contest. I am still waiting to hear back from a few devs on which are their 4 favorite, I assume that will wrap up this week. I plan on shipping the prizes hopefully by the end of the week, if not then the beginning of next. That is all I got for you now, I really want to get a wider opinion, so I am waiting a few more days to collect the dev's input. So bare with me while I conclude this contest. Don't forget we have another contest/event/fundraiser coming soon, so stay tuned for that! carbon out

Well, wow, what can I say - not a lot to be honest apart from niiiiiiiice Now, I'm not taken any credit for it, well, I might take the credit for adding the link and uploading the files etc but that's about as far as I go with it. Credit for this goes to Infestlithium and the team that put this together, an excellent addition to the callofdutyzombies.com site. So what is it, what is it for? Well basically speaking, it's a full website, given information on the maps, easy access to the easter egg information and so forth. It also advises on the UoTM on the main index page and it also has a news article from CoDz as well. This will be updated, it will give you n…

With the most recent update a few changes occurred within the most recent version which has thrown a few things out of sync. This was tested on the our test site before the update but it wasn't the same when transferred to the live site. We apologise for this, we are working hard to get things back to normal. truth be told I'm currently reworking the entire stylesheet and changes to the core to get us back to how things should be, To give you an idea. this is how I'm currently using CoDz. Our stylesheet has over 3000 lines, which all needs to be checked and corrected due to the upgrade and browser checks performed. It's taken a litt…

Hey everyone! It's been a while since our staff has made a major announcement like this. I'd like to preface by apologizing for not being nearly as transparent as I'd like to be with these new changes. You may have seen some new things coming our way if you've been watching us closely on Twitter (and receiving our email newsletters the past few months). With this new announcement, we - myself, the staff, and our new friends - are making big changes and want everyone to know what's going on. We're happy to announce that Call of Duty Zombies is officially a part of the Collateral Network! For those out of the loop, CoDZ is now being managed not only …

[tab][/tab]As you all are well aware, TranZit is taking us for quite the trip (pun intended) and dragging out the feeling of mystery with the Easter Egg's completion using a myriad of beams of light, glowing orbs, and vague tweets. You'll also see around here on the forums people claiming to have solved the EE, people saying that hunting is stupid, and some people making obviously erroneous guesses on the next step. I ask of you all to please behave in a friendly and polite manner to any and all users, whether you think they are just trolling or not. Be the better person. Send a PM to a staff member or report their posts, but do not outright start hurling foul words, or b…

Are we still moving over to there because I checked it recently, and all I can see is spam. You look on the activity feed and they've had a field day. If we are moving other there at some point in the future, a Mod best clean that up. Just thought I'd let you all know. And I've just looked at the forum itself, its in every topic. Depending on whether or not we are moving is there any point in it's existence. If not soon but later then all that spam needs to get removed as their is an awful lot.
