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.

I have joined your ranks. Broke down and picked up the discounted Black Ops off steam, only seemed right with a handful of first strike PC tokens in my hands ya so anyway I have it on PC and would love to play with you guys, not sure how it all works, the only time I have used steam was for beta testing games.

We have had our monthly staff meeting and as a result of this meeting the signature areas will be reduced, you will have 48 hours to reduce the size of signatures. We will be limit the signatures to 10 lines (from the 25 lines currently) this will need to incorporate any images and text that you have, so if you want to create a spoiler and put your images and such like within the spoiler (like my sig) then please do so. This change will come into effect on Saturday 7th June 2014 User profile information (next to the posts) - this will also be condensed, the custome fields for highs and so forth will be removed and moved to profile page, this will be changing w…

Hey guys, we will be fairly shortly bringing out a new user group. It will be used for the custom map makers who contribute to our site, and also happen to make custom maps. Just after some name suggestions - @Flammenwefer suggested 'Architects' which is pretty awesome in itself, just seeing what else might be out there. Chopper

Hi Guys, It seems that the idea for a Topic of the Week has been received in a mostly positive fashion, so I would like to get into the nitty gritty of it. Should it be weekly or monthly? What are the minimum requirements for being eligible - Created in the last week or sufficient activity in the last week? What is classed as sufficient activity? Should it have a medal attached to it? Should we bother to do it at all? Thanks guys, Chopper.

There's been a lot of leaked Beta footage and other footage. I know it's awesome but please refrain from posting it on the forums. If someone wants to see it, please PM them. Same rules apply to the chat, try and avoid spoiling things for other members and make use of the handy Private Message system. Thanks. There is also a thread on this in General Discussion by carbonfibah (thanks Johnson). His is a little less specific but still the same general idea. The reason for this thread being, like carbon stated, that it's too much for the moderators to have to delete threads every 5-10 minutes because it's leaked footage or spoilers of Black Ops or other games. So …

Apologies for unexpected downtime, I forgot about the server bill needing to be paid. We then got suspended and I needed to wait for cash to clear balance. it reiterates the reliance on staff paying to keep the kettle on and the importance of donations. Again apologies, will try and ensure it doesn’t happen again.

Look around, if you really weren't here during the month, please don't put up a random nomination or vote. Just look around. Spend 15 minutes, or even 7 hours scanning around the entire forum!

I need a hand with some scripting. I am going to explain why you have all been seeing so many errors on CoDz. One issue is that there could be some scripts that are not closing properly or fast enough and connections to the database are being filled up quickly. The host only allow I think 15 connections or so per user per database.( that doesn't mean only 15 users on the forum at a time) Right now I have the forum and the chat on one database with only one user assigned to it. Now If I add more users to the database that means more connections available. So say I add 4 more users, I now have 60 connections available to that database. Now the errors are not all the ti…

Nothing is decided and we are looking for options. This plugin has been installed and this is an example of what it would look like on the site. An applet is also available which lists various different stream names and who is live currently. http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php?app=livestreams&module=streams§ion=stream&stream=3 We are looking for people who have the capability to stream and go into a somewhat rolling rota for official streams.

First of all: Carbon, If you are reading this, you should stop. This concerns a surprise for your birthday. So seriously. Stop. Now. Quit trying. Alright. So. Continuing on. What could we possibly do to make Carbon feel "special" for his monday birthday? I mean, it's not like he really needs brains (in one sense ^^). And other than donating to the site, what else could we do? That would be the biggest help, though we all know that many of us are broke teenagers that can barely survive our own jobs. So, I am open for ideas. Shoot me a message on here, twitter, or psn, and I will try to put something together. Afterall, we do owe him q…

Congratulations Ragdo11706! Well, this is certainly a change in beat from the norm. I'm back in the hot seat running our monthly User of the Month contest. December's been a fantastic month with plenty of competent users, new easter egg discoveries, and plenty of Black Ops 3 news. Not only that but we just had Christmas yesterday, for those who celebrate it, as well as roughly 25 other religion based holidays this month. Not only that, but we saw the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which while I know isn't Zombies related, I've just been obsessed with it this past week. In honor of that, I suggest it's now time to begin the …
