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.

Apologies, for the downtime with the LFG - unfortunately a patch is not going to work for this issue and it needs a completely new version. We are working on it and should have something available next week. We know how frustrating it is and appreciate the patience.

The rumour mills are rife of a new Xbox potentially releasing in 2016, the slim version of the current model with a 2TB hard drive, more news is expected on this at E3 according to Polygon on top of that a new Xbox is potentially happening in 2017 with a higher GPU and running at a massive 6 teraflops - which wipes the floor with the current Xbox One at 1.3 teraflops and PS4 at 1.8 teraflops or the PS4 Neo at 4.1ish teraflops. The sources are also saying that Microsoft at looking at a deal with Oculus for the new consoles as well, in line with Microsofts plans to bring combine XBox/Windows ecosystem under "Project Helix" - when we know more we'll let you know …

First and foremost - Sorry. We have experienced an issue with emails since we started using Cloudflare to handle static content, I was on late last night and basically I deleted a record that I shouldn't have. As soon as I clicked the X to delete I shouted out within myself (as it was 12:30am) "ya numpty" - which translates "what are you doing you complete and utter moron" - what have we learned? Not to do things when your eyes are being held open by match sticks. So hands up, it was my fault but it also gave me time to investigate other issues such as emails not being received and registration issues being experienced by some. I still have to inve…

Hi All, Sorry for the short notice, we are going to experience some downtime in aproximately 8 hours time. We have scheduled an upgrade to the MySQL server to bring us upto date with the current version. This is necessary as the current version is now EOL (End of Life) - when you visit the site, you will be presented with a MySQL driver error as the site cannot find the database, this is because we need to stop the SQL server to process the update. This is scheduled to take place at 8am GMT, 12am PST, 3am EST - apologies for the inconvience whilst we make sure we are current and upto date with all server related aspects. We shouldn't need any further planned d…

Thanks for the patience today, the update took longer than anticipated as an issue with connectivity with our ftp server and IPS server was encountered, it menat that we had to upload all files rather than the updated files which takes a little longer as you can appreciate. We are back online but we need to update the theme to take account of some styling changes and new features functions and fix a couple of bugs. Howeever we can't process the theme update due to a memory error when uploading this file and we have a ticket open for this again (it was supposed to be fixed in this version but it hasn't been) - if you notice anything, please let us know.

Hi guys, I have some bad news. Unfortunately due to hosting space restrictions and such, we are unable to provide you with the latest episode (4) of the Chaos Drop Zone Podcast. The same will go for episode 5 as well as we are recording soon and won't be up till early April, so please excuse our lateness. (Especially with the tease of a 2hour long uber funny episode we tweeted). We're hoping to get Carbon to help host the shows so we have more space but we'll see how it goes. Hope you enjoy the shows and continue to listen. Wolfy

@PINNAZ is currently hard at work getting the zombie library content from WaW transferred into a new dedicated "Zombie Library" database, Pinnaz is still in the Legends usergroup but has a secondary usergroup which allows him to add content and update the content within the database. As it stands it works in a similar fashion to how the user channels and videos works but in a slightly different manner, rather than everything being included within one topic and then replies, it will be within dedicated sections and will be easier to use and faster to load "it will need optimising but it it's a big change and easier to manage for Pinnaz. Look out soon for …

Hay guys in lack of a crap ton of members, i suggest that we make a youtube channel, run by moderators or someone else. Once the next map pack comes out we can frequently post all of the easter eggs that we find, or in the meantime, we can make videos of challenges or montages.

We have been looking to add to our news system and make better use of it for sometime, we have lacked conviction in news articles for sometime and we need to better utilise the system. So as of now, we have added two members to a new group called "Media Staff" - it's not a staff position but it is a stepping stone so to speak to potentially becoming that at a later date. Anyway, big congratulations and thanks to @XPG Richtofen and @Tac - we are all looking forward to these articles. What will happen, is that when a new article is added, it will automatically post that article into the "Site News" section of the forum - we want to drive user engagement wi…
