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.

Hey Team, I wanted to talk briefly about the organization of the main page and some areas I personally think are an opportunity. If you are familiar with any of my larger threads you will notice that I am a firm believer of organization and simplification (i.e. A place for everything and everything in its place). Although I never completed this one, it is a prime example http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/158528-black-ops-2-users-guide-work-in-progress/. I think the current layout of our main page has so many sections that the overall navigation has become difficult if not using New Content or Search buttons. If you take a look at overall utilization…

We are opening up the new site to all The frontpage is just a quick mock up and hasn't been completed or finalised. This very unlikely to be the final design of it. Just something for you all to get the idea of the landing page before accessing the forum. Quite a lot has changed, especially with the editor, you don't need to insert an image or click on more reply options to add attachments. Simply paste the link to an image, press enter and the image will appear, this is the same with soundcloud, youtube etc. The @ mention function, simply type @ then in lower case type the start of the persons username and a list will appear, you can select from that lis…

Just wanted to mention a cool shout out Jimmy Zielinski made on his twitter account yesterday in reference to CoDz being down a day or two ago. Our older members know that Jimmy and the guys follow our forum very closely. While we try to reiterate this concept to our new members, and that your opinion truly does matter to the guys, it's sometimes forgotten. Well here's some more proof. Jimmy Z links OUR forum directly on his page. Much respect Jimmy. We'll keep it up! Let this simply serve as a reminder to our members, that if you have an opinion or idea on zombies, Treyarch is listening. We have a direct connection with the guys that produce the game…

I was told I should post this in Site News instead of Introductions, so here it goes: Hey this is TacticalInsertion. I am looking for my password but can't find it yet. When I press "forgot my password" the one they give me doesn't work, so I made a new acct for the time being. When I find my old password (hopefully tonight) i'll switch back to that acct. I am going to be back for quite some time. I understand if any of you are pissed, but strwrsbob recruited me back. So basically, I hope I am still welcome?

Please welcome @DeathBringerZen to the team, he is now moderating the custom zombies discussion and maps forums. At this stage DBZ is part of the team and solely responsible for the customs section, his user title remains the same and he remains in the same usergroup he is currently in. However, we will need to work out a way to show DBZ as a staff member for these sections, I'm sure you will all congratulate DBZ and wish him well. If you have any questions or need any assistance then DBZ will be the first point of contact for the customs section and then any member of staff. Congrats @DeathBringerZen, great to have you as a part of the team.

The CoDz team will interview him Wednesday 11am PST / 1pm EST on Skype, and will have the recording on YouTube, Soundcloud, and Reddit! Don't be shy - he loves questions, especially when it's about his love for everything Zombies!

Is the forum working for everybody? We recently got suspended from our old host Bluehost. We were on a shared server and consumed too many resources. So to remedy this problem I found a new host. We now have a VPS. VPS is a virtual private server. It is inbetween shared servers and a dedicated server. Dedicated servers pretty much start at around $500 a month. I have this VPS for $50 a month. One of the reasons for using VPS over shared hosting is the level of performance you get with it. Like previously said, with shared hosting all of your resources are shared, but with VPS every resource is ours and have been assigned by the VPS administrator and we are the only o…

First of all I just want to thank ALL of the CoDz members who have donated to the site! With your help we were able to raise the $90 needed to upgrade the host package. We have upgraded our monthly traffic bandwidth from 147 GB to 400 GB ! This will allow the chat to return, as well as some new features in the future. We also now have unlimited CoDz emails, subdomains, and some other increases. I will also be willing to rent out subdomains to members for personal use. ie http://carbonfibah.callofdutyzombies.com Please contact me via private message with any questions or concerns regarding subdomains and emails.

We are now in the world of apps, we have at present our app live and available for download on the Apple App store. Now, I had a helluva fight with Apple trying to get the app name we wanted which was "CoDz Forum" or "callofdutyzombies.com" but due to trademark issues they wouldn't approve either of them. Even though CoDz is not trademarked or forum and callofdutyzombies.com is legally owned by us and we provided the proof that they required they refused due to association. So, the app is call "The Number One Zombies Community - for Call of Duty Zombies" as it was the name Apple basically said would be accepted (trust me, I've been figh…

It is with sad news, that I have to report that @way2g00d has decided to retire from staff duties at callofdutyzombies.com It was certainly an announcement which took us by surprise, Way has been here since forever (April 2011) and it is with sadness that we move Way into the Veterans usergroup (well deserved though). The site has been through many changes since Way joined and from what I gather this is Way's first topic. Way has over 5,700 posts on this site since 2011, a high achievement and to be commened, not for posting just for the sake of it but for the content and quality of his posts over the years. He post back in November 2012, the bus driver quotes fro…

You may have seen the post from Carbonfibah that he was selling the domain name callofdutyzombies.com - we had no idea of his intentions or much notice of the sale taken place. We have managed to put the funds together and we have purchased the domain name. callofdutyzombies.com is now officially owned by callofdutyzombies.com and the staff, please do not worry about the site disappearing or such like as it will not happen and we are going from strength to strength. Thanks to Dan and all the hardwork he did in the early days, the site has just gone from strength to strength, yes we experience challenges with the popularity of Twitter, YouTube, Redd…

Over the course of four and a half years we've had a great legacy of administrators for the site including @carbonfibah, @julez, @lissa110, @AlphaSnake, @Phantom, @Strwrsbob, and myself. Each has risen through the ranks showing leadership qualities that become noticed and utilized. They excel in each facet of their responsibilities and are incredibly supportive of the website and community we have established here. Each and every one of them has poured heart and soul and immense amounts of time into bettering the website to make it the best Zombies community out there. It is because of these legacy administrators that the site has become what it has today. Unfortunately, …

Hello all! As Call of Duty Zombies continues to progress and be improved upon, our staff members have to increasingly take on new responsibilities and tasks. Some of those responsibilities represent a significant portion of holding together the back bone and essential structure of the site. As such, it can become too much work for just one or two Administrators and a handful of Moderators. We begin to spread ourselves too thin between our Staff duties as well as our paid employment, families, and leisure time. With the introduction of numerous new and innovative features to the site in the last few weeks, and as we look forward to a time period in which we may…

Times have changed and so have we! How times have changed. A once strict policy that was respected by many on CoDZ has been adapted. The well known 'No Leaks' rule that was the epitome of this great forum is now no longer the condition it once was. This is not because we do not care... it's because we do care. We care enough about this forum not to lock it away from the outside world any longer. So what does this mean exactly? It means that people who are affiliated with Activision are now being used as marketing tools. Yep, these channels or individuals are now being taken in by Activision, Treyarch and other studios with the purpose of giving them exclusive intel …

The forum will be going down for a very short period of time later tonight in order to upgrade the forum software. It should only last just a few minutes, but we wanted to give warning in case it ends up taking longer than we thought. The upgrade will be taking place around 9PM PST. Software upgrades did not work properly, so they will have to be scheduled for another time.

With a heavy heart. It has been several months since I have been active, I took some time out to spend more time with the family, concentrate on work and to generally enjoy life away from the site and gaming in general. At 40 years old this year, my time for gaming has dwindled Year or Year. So I have decided with a heavy heart to hang up my gloves and hand over the reigns to someone else. When I joined the team, the site had a few technical and staffing problems and as a team we got rejuvenated and pushed the site forward and self funded. We aren't quite self funded but close to it. I'm going to stick around for a few weeks in the background with the staff to discus…

We are going to be making some big changes to CoDz in the near future, but before we do anything we like to take the feedback of the community into the projects we develop, so we've made a questionnaire that we would like you to fill out, you don't have to if you don't want to. All results will be confidential and will only be shared between staff privately, you can talk to others about your choices if you wish. We won't know who responded, so everything is 100% anonymous, unless you choose for it to not be. You can fill out the questionnaire here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/vie ...

PlayStation VR requires a PlayStation Camera for head-tracking purposes, but the only snag is that they're sold separately. Since this was revealed, Camera sales are up by 975%, according to VG247. And sales of PlayStation Move controllers are also on the up. Most PlayStation VR games can be played with a regular DualShock 4 controller, but a few require the PlayStation Move controller. PS VR has more than 160 games in development, with 50 games expected to be released by the end of the year. This includes Ubisoft's Eagle Flight, Guerrilla Games' RIGS and Sony's own VR Worlds, incorporating The London Heist, The Deep and Street Luge demos. It comes bund…
