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.

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 need some help, and whoever helps me will get 2,000 brains. I am looking for a Joomla 1.5 module to showcase articles on the homepage. These are the 2 modules I have but cannot get to work properly. - Rokstories - LOFarticleslideshow So if someone can either get these to work on a site they made of their own and can share the preferences used, or if someone can find me another module to use (and I get it to work here on the CoDz homepage) you will get 2,000 brains.

I know I have been a little arrogant about this matter, but I come here with my arms open. I will like to propose a series of reforms for Team Wunder Waffes, which I believe you will all like. - Open for everyone: ANYBODY can join the team, no matter the age, as long as he has an Xbox. The EZS will stay, but their new purpose will be to help members struggling with the game become better at it. They will be the elite of the team, but this will be because, considering they have skill, their talent should be recognized by everyone. - Remove the whole Empire business: The Holy Wunder Waffe Empire will completely dissapear. I shall be emperor of dogs, but not of th…

Hello everyone, I'm Flammenwerfer and I've got some news jelly for your ear breads. First of all, a new forum has been created under the "Zombie Stories & Theories" section called "Zombie Labs." This forum has been discussed already, but I'll touch up on it. In the recent months, many threads have popped up under Future Zombies that admittedly don't really "fit" the forum they're created in. These threads are mainly concepts and ideas, with some full blown Side Quest and DLC ideas thrown in. While these threads are certainly interesting reads, they don't necessarily contribute to the theorizing of actual future Zombie maps. As such, these threads have been moved t…

Sorry folk's, I've tried to minimise this as much as possible over the year, unfortunately today could have been avoided. Basically routine maintenance on the database was performed (repairing and optimizing tables with overhead) - when processing the posts table the table crashed. Due to the amount of posts and my limited time throughout today, we only came back an hour ago but had to wait til I got home. Sorry folk's, routine maintenance caused the problem, shouldn't happen again.

So fake viral campaigns for Black Ops 2 have started springing up recently and more will spring up as we get closer and closer to the official viral. All I ask of you is to not get tricked into believing these viral campaigns, it happens often and big discussions break out only for people to become annoyed when a mod locks their thread. Most of the time these fake campaigns are self advertising, the people who create the campaigns are usually the people who post their "mysterious new findings" on the forum, usually wanting attention and most of the time they get it, because a community with the interests of ours will jump at the chance for a viral campaign for Z…

Call of Duty is something we are all used to as a yearly installment, putting up huge numbers with each and every game. Black Ops III certainly followed this trend, becoming the sixth straight game in the series to break the $1 billion mark. Additionally, in North America, Call of Duty was 2015’s top-selling franchise - an award they’ve held for seven consecutive years now.[1] To add to the statistics, the life-to-date sales of Call of Duty surpassed 250 million units in 2015! (For comparison, the closest mainstream franchise is Grand Theft Auto at roughly 225 million, 95 million of which was just GTAV). Also to no one’s surprise, Call of Duty is poised to make a big impa…

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…

So as you all know by now we have recovered the old asylum, research & training facility. Unfortunately the usernames all have the prefix of guest_ and the suffix of _* - so I have done a fair bit of working and testing on this before bring it onto the live site and since it was brought over to the live site. Changing the guest_username_* to just the username - it's too big a task to align, it will take a lot of work on a per post/user basis and it is simply not going to happen. So what we have done is removed the guest_ prefix and the _* suffix so that the members name is displayed, it will still show the name as a "guest" name, in that you cannot select it, howe…

Man, this has taken 2 days to get to this stage. Thanks to Nick transferring the relevant databases I needed to perform "Major" surgery, I have been able to get the following fixed. I have managed, "drum roll" to get the vBulletin forum, converted to Invision Forum Software. Stage one of the 48 hour surgery complete. I'm not bashing anyone, not what I'm here to do, but it was unfortunately in a bit of a mess and took a bit of work to get into a working state. Database wise, tables had crashed, needing repaired & the database itself was over 4Gb in size, so importing it through phpmyadmin is a no go and needs to be done at the shell level or have the tables bro…

Alright so I think it's time for somewhat of a history lesson concerning CoDz from my point of view. This is something that I posted in Ehjookayted's thread about the inner workings and behind the scenes stuff for the forums, but I figured it was worthy enough for everyone to see it. Anyway, enjoy. Alright, well I suppose I should start from the beginning. Zombies was born in late 2008 with the release of World at War, but it really wasn't until early 2009 when the storyline began. It started out with the release of Veruckt and Shi No Numa and most discussion concerning the storyline took place in numerous places, but one of the more dominant places was the Xbox for…

I'm currently working on a video database for the site, the idea behind this is quite simple really. One location for zombie related videos. This can be world records, easter egg guides, tutorials, strategies and so forth. This is how it looks just now. How it works is basically quite simple, it's using the same system we use for news and the "same" grid layout available to members from the themes section. Slightly different in that it is a 3x3 setup rather than a 2x2 setup (just a little code change). Anyone can add a video (member wise) - you can add some content for the video (i.e. some general info) and a link to the video (you don't even need to upload it, ju…

So KontrolFreek sent me a pair of Rcade Freeks the other day. I was pretty excited as they looked cool. So If you have ever played Dead Ops Arcade before you will know that the control are quite simple with the movement and firing done with the joysticks. Instead of using FPSfreeks for DOA, I play with the normal joysticks and my DOA game is pretty good. However my thumb gets really sore from swinging the joystick around in all directions for long periods of time, which is what happens in DOA. So I put the Rcade Freeks on my joysticks and played some DOA. It was crazy! First response was how comfortable it was to roll the joysticks around. It was very smooth, and made pla…

I, and many Uk Zombies, have had this problem for a while: America is UTC - 5 hours which is 5 hours BEHIND England, so when i log on at 6am (i get up early ) to check messages i see an american friend from CoDz, like Mick Saints: Me- Hey mick, CoD? Mick- What? its 1am over here, i'm just wrapping this up and going to bed! this is a problem, especially here: When a playdate is set up, it will be at a range of, say, 10 am up to 10 pm and in the UK we have a EST or +5 hours, so when it is 10 am in America it is 3pm here and 10 pm is 3 am... So you see that the playdate is a problem for many Uk zombies who have a Job/University or college/School to…

I'm sorry - UoTM hasn't been dealt with before the start of April and I can only apologise, unfortunately we have all missed it and it's pointless running it for this month now. As a result, we will be allowing @anonymous and @shirtlesservice service to continue with this for the next month. This in effect allows the system to award it to both, I;ll simply award it to one of the other for March and April. Again, apologies for this - I'll look into this so it doesn't happen again.
