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.

Due to the new site the page can be streched sideways for a long way, so when people post there sigs, they go on sideways in 1 row, this is quite annoying if your just reading, say, a simple post on 'how far have you got on NDU?' which you have to scroll sideways just to see what they've put as someone's sig is stretching the page, such as (sorry for singling you out, there are worse ones) jtg's sig: the solution is simple, just tap the 'enter' key in your sig to make a new line: etc this stops it from spreading out the page, most of the older users and the moderators have worked this out for themselves, but a few of you don't do this and are…

Zombification _________________ Zombification is an indication of how many posts a registered member on CoDZ has made so far. (It's our fancy word for Post Rank) As a member makes more posts, their Zombification Level will rise. Your Zombification level is displayed on your member profile, right underneath your avatar - throughout the forum. Currently, there are 15 Automated Levels plus 5 levels that have additional requirements and can thus only be handed out by staff. Giving us 20 levels in total. Tier List LEVEL REQUIREMENT(S) (0 - 25) (25 - 75) (75 - 150) (150 - 300) (300 - 500) (500 - 750) …

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).

Hey CODZ - just a quick update here. 2 changes: First, We have replaced "LEGEND" with "Hall of Fame". Our reason for doing this is that "LEGEND" is a very vague title, we believe that "Hall of Fame" more accurately depicts the service that these members have brought - and will hopefully resound immediately with anyone who sees it. The second item is that we have a new usergroup: "Veteran" A "Veteran" is a retired staff member. They fought the war, and deserve the title. We are aware that "veteran" can also be a term used for a long time member, but that's not a big deal - because all our "Veteran"'s are long time members Here are the usergroup imag…

First and foremost, sorry. The plan was to do some maintenance and improvements and then bring the site back online. As you can guess, it failed. I'll explain what happened in laymans terms. Basically what happened was we wanted to update apache, apache runs the http service and we wanted to update the version of php that we run to the most up to date version. When running the apache update, an error message appeared quite quickly indicating that we had exceeded disk quota and it failed, it's supposed to revert back to the most recent working configuration but failed to restart, Upon investigation it was evident that the "inodes" had maxed out causing the disk qu…

You all know it, you all hate it and if we wanted a ** BANNED WORD ** we would go to a reputable company and buy one from them. Anyway, we hate spam as much as you. We have several things in place to combat spam, the two most recently registered accounts balotelii and seznc are both spammers, unfortunately the system didn't think it was likely to be spam when these accounts registered. Both topics are spam, both topics are ** BANNED WORD ** So, the use of the word k i t c h e n is a banned word and below is how it will appear. I'm still updating the banned word filter, so if you can think of any possible ways of spelling k i t c h e n - let us know below. ** BAN…

I get a lot of requests to join a group here on CoDz. Mainly from new members. The WWK, or What We Know Research Group (dark blue) would be the one you should be looking to join. In order to be accepted into that group you must research a topic and provide a detailed writeup, complete with images/videos/sources/etc... If you are curious about what one should look like you can go to the homepage, http://callofdutyzombies.com/home and look at the articles under the Der Riese tab. Now something that I am been trying to get members to do is to so what we did for Der Riese, for Shi No Numa. So if you want to be in the WWK, I would like to see you do a writeup on d…

Eurogamer spotted a listing of the game on the 360, saying "COD Black Ops - Now Plays on Xbox One" inidicating an imminent release on the One. Looks we can all revisit those maps, stream directly from the One and gets some EE's done of classic maps such as moon. As far as we are aware, it is not officially released as BC yet, however, we understand it will be available in a few hours and if it's not available today, it's due imminently. View full news

Hey Guys how we all doing today? The staff here at CODZ have been looking at doing much more regular streaming, and coming as close to possible as streaming everyday. We think that this is a good way to go forward with the site, and expand our presence in the community further. This also leads into the new game, and provides a good base for us to discuss information and trailers as it/they are released. This will initially start more than likely with staff mainly, but we would love to play with as many users as we can. Initially, I can see us beginning with customs zombies. How many of you out there play customs, and would be interested in joining us in streams? …

Just how it used to be. It now includes an voting system, where you can vote for the next UoTM but it seems to be a little quirky and the moment and the setting won't save for it. The archive is back, but for some reason the dev has went from month name to month number, needing this adjusted for all previous ones to show correctly but I'm doing this one by one.

Sorry folk's, I'm aware the chatroom is down, it was reported earlier in the staff skype chat. I assumed it was an error on the remote server that hosts the chat. The actual fault is due to a licencing issue, our server isn't communicating with invisions licencing server. I know the cause of the fault and I've fixed that but waiting on invision support to respond to the ticket I raised with them this morning, in all honesty I forgot that the chatroom would have been affected as a result. Apologies we will be back up, it will just take a wee bit of time, please bare with me whilst I fix the first fault & that will fix the fault with the chatroom.

Recently status updates have been used for trying to get in touch with staff or to highlight issues of a technical nature or support request. Status updates are not for this type of use, they are for status updates on what you are doing etc. So from now, any status updates that are requesting support, highlighting a technical issue will be deleted and the user advised via PM advice on where the topic/post should be made or how best to get in touch. Usually the contact us section or in the support section of the forum. Please ensure that this occurs, incorrect use of the status updates feature is becoming a concern to staff and some users. Lets keep them for the in…
