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 guys, Tac here with an overview of the staff meeting we had this morning! On this date, 7/14/12, we discussed a TON of things about the community and because of this, I decided it would be best for me to share it all with you! 1. GIF’s in Signatures and Avatars are going to be case-by-case based on the staff member. - We've got plenty members that are using image files known as GIF's, or moving images so to speak. With the new signature rules of only 5 lines and the fact that the GIF's slow down our site, they are generally frowned upon in signatures but may stay as long as they are not intrusive. They will be allowed to stay, virtually un-frowned upon, in avat…

Well if you do, you have to help me with a problem. Awhile ago the site was using a lot of CPU and we were being trottled by the host. Now I looked up these occurrences and found that the site was snagging up because of something one person did with the search feature, whatever it may be. So until I could fix the search, I disabled it. Well now trying to reactivate it, it doesn't seem to work. It says Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes. It could be an issue where it is not connecting to the database correctly to get the content. Now, I am not sure what needs to be fixed or changed. This is what I current…

Not sure where April went; however, the beginning of a new month means another new User of the Month! That means you, the slayers, decide who ought to wear the cyan robes as we enter the hot, humid season of summer (or winter for you non-Western hemisphere friendos). Basic Qualifications: Any nomination, will require a brief explanation, and example links of posts that show the qualities necessary for a User of the Month. A user may not nominate themselves or anyone sharing the same IP address. This is to avoid cheating. You need at least 50 posts, and have been a member for at least a month in order for your nomina…

So, it launches in the UK in 2.5hrs, has launched in other countries already (I think with the timezones) and everyone is getting hyped about it. Not only is it a new CoD from Sledgehammer IT HAS ZOMBIES well, it has what I would call an infected mode within survival ala World War Z but they are still zombies, just not the game mode we are used too from Treyarch. Anyway, we have now made available the Advanced Warfare callofdutyzombies skin, if you wish to use this you can, simply select "advanced warfare skin from the change theme option. Here's a few screenshots for you all. Hope you all enjoy the skin and if you spot anything, let…

So as a new member of these forums I would like to say a few things. There are some hard working people on this site and I am really grateful for everything they have done on here and the cool zombies info they provide. And in general the people here are much more intelligent and mature that most other places like CoD forums. However, I have been nothing but flamed by older / high posting members of this community when they have zero idea of what they are talking about. I'm not saying I know more than ANYONE about zombies but I do a LOT of research and trail and error doing my own experiments and I damn sure look around and make sure I really believe what I'm posting …

The Shadow Sanctum (shadowsanctum.net) is a database of resources for fans of the classic radio/comic/television master of darkness, The Shadow. Last month, Call of Duty and CODZ Forums made a cameo in the pop culture database in an entry discussing the parallels between Shadows of Evil/The Shadow Man/CODZ timeline anomalies and The Shadow. See the entry "Call of The Shadow" at: http://www.shadowsanctum.net/interactive/interactive_tidbits-misc.html Tip: Ctrl+F/page search for Call of The Shadow, or any relevant keywords, i.e., "Call of Duty." Shoutout to @PINNAZ for being the first to identify a parallel in his …

Hola Compadres, Your beloved staff have come together to recognize another individual in our little pocket of the internet who has truly demonstrated a deep dedication to the forum. Not only through frequent challenging of the status quo, but also years of contributions to conversation, theory, and story telling. Webster's dictionary defines Dweller as "a person or animal that lives in or at a specified place.". I personally think this person emobodies that definition with every letter they add to this forum, but I digress. This is why we would like to congratulate @The Meh on his promotion to Dweller. Not only has he earned this spot, but he also …

We had loads of fun at the Zombies World Championship (ZWC) on August 19th! Aside the lack of sleep (and very seldom chances to eat those delicious tacos outside), we had the honor of being an integral part of the competition, as well as hanging with the Z-YouTubers, some very important people from Activision/Treyarch, and most importantly, awesome fans of all ages. I wanted to share with you some nice photos I managed to take during my time there. ----------------------------------------------------------------- We also wanted to take time out to see what we can do to impr…

On Saturday November 2nd, I will be participating in a charity through work to help raise money for Children's Hospitals. I chose to support the Boston Children's Hospital. Since this is through work and video game related I decided that the game I'm going to play for 25 hours is Call Of Duty Zombies. Since it's a long time to play I will be playing World At War, Black Ops and Black Ops II Zombies to keep it interesting with lots of content. I will be asking you guys, the zombies community to join up throughout the day and play some zombies with me in my open lobbies. (I will be playing on Xbox 360) I will also be streaming it all live via my Twitch.…

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.

Hey CODZ! It's your friendly neighborhood GRILL here, checking in. What a viscous pandemic that has gripped our planet! It's truly in these dire times that I thank CODZ for a community that I can return to, and feel comfort to envelope myself in. To me, it honestly feels like a zombie apocalypse out there - I live in a highly effected area. How's everyone doing? Everyone washing your hands like crazy? I just needed to come here and once again acknowledge how important this place is.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening to the far-reaching ranks of CODZers! I hail you with this message, and beseech thee: attend! Over the last few months, the CODZ YouTube team has been working hard to grow the CODZ Community's visibility in the YouTube sphere, with aims of bringing more attention, and passionate zombies fans to the forum and Discord discussions. Our ambition as administrators of a channel on behalf of this ancient and storied forum is to find a balance between recognizable leadership that will be recognizable to new visitors (currently the cast of *Podcast Der Toten Season 5* - @RadZakpak, @Tac, @Mattzs - and our latest individual pro…

Hey Guys, We are going with TOTW, and Craig has already installed the mod/hook and it's populated with the biggest thread CODZ has produced, MMX trilogy. There are still a few different and contrasting suggestions as to how we will implement this, so I'm going to poll it. Main things are who decides the winner, should we invite thread suggestions and should there be a medal? Thanks guys, Chopper

I am an avid "New Content" user, and I want to make sure everyone knows the feature is still here - and that @Hells Warrriormade it specifically to fill the void after the developers of the forum software cut it out. In the top menu, under My Activity Streams - you will find New Topics & Posts. From there, you can switch between Expanded View (chronologically showcasing the most recent threads, and most recent post in that thread) and Condensed View (chronologically showcasing the most recent threads). It's going to take some getting used to. Please keep in mind that the…

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 ...

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.
