Mozdoc
Conventions and furmeets
Mozdoc has attended and volunteered as a "gofur" at several furry events:
- Further Confusion 2008 [1] [2], 2009, and 2010.
- Califur 4 -- was too short to truly volunteer and help the con out, although signed up to be a goFur.
- The Prancing Skiltaire parties
Mozdoc was denied membership to Further Confusion 2003, 2004, and 2005 due to a restraining order.
Characters played
Mozdoc plays several characters on FurryMUCK, including:
- A Centaurpede -- a three headed horse'taur with 250 full horses connected head-to-tail, ending in 1000 hooves.
- An Overdraft'taur -- a three headed horse'taur with six arms and similar multileg arrangement like Slephnir of Norse lore (12 hooves). The character has overtly oversized male genitalia on par with Doug Winger's work.
- A Bitch'taur -- a domestic canine-taur with twelve oversized breasts running down both torsos. The spelling across each breasts side says "I AM A BITCH", in line with a story of a womanizing male being magically turned into such a creature.
Controversy
Mozdoc's irascible temperament brought him into conflict with a variety of fans from 2000-2009, resulting in bans from numerous furry-oriented services. He has since sought to regain access to many of these, with some success.
MUCK bans
Mozdoc has been banned from several MUCKs. In 2000, he was toaded from SpinDizzy MUCK after breaking into the account of Argon (editor of "@Action News", SpinDizzy's online newspaper).[3] In 2002, a satirical follow-up posted in @Action News stated that Mozdoc's original six-month suspension had been extended to a permanent ban due to attempts to break through by repeated rapid connections.[4] He evaded the ban with a new character alias Myana from a different ISP until the wizards detected the evasion.[5]
Mozdoc was IP-banned from Tapestries after attempting to escape the stockades by @toading himself and re-registering; the wizards received an expletive-laden email.[6] He was also banned from FurryMUCK[7], Altered Realities[8], and Meadows MUCK – the latter after Mozdoc continued to harass its headwizard, SpazKitty, after she blocked him from editing WikiFur. As of May 2007, Mozdoc was unbanned from FurryMUCK; he remains a player as of April 2014.
Kacey Miyagami
In early 2002, Mozdoc began to distribute Kacey Miyagami's artwork without authorization. Shortly after she protested and her wife, Ayukawataur, stepped in to intervene, Mozdoc gave open threats against Kacey's life. Following her family's advice, she filed a temporary restraining order in November 2002, lasting until November 17, 2005.[9] Both Kacey and Ayukawataur (Noriko) were named as protected parties, and Mozdoc was banned from FurBid as Ayukawataur believed him using her system would inevitably result in contact. When the TRO expired, Ayukawataur reviewed his constant attempts to covertly use the system, and decided not restore his access. He was unbanned in September 2007, but re-banned a month and a half later.[10][11]Mozdoc resumed his harassment, including death threats, after posting a manifesto on why he hated her on a Fur Affinity journal entry[12], and placing a disparaging comment under one of Kacey's works.[13] He was banned from Fur Affinity, but continued his anti-Kacey harassment in other forums,[14][15][16] including Bernard Doove's LiveJournal,[17] and in person at Further Confusion 2007. He was removed from the convention for harassment after multiple warnings, and for attempting to take covert photographs of Kacey's print display books; AAE declined to comment.
FurNet ban
Mozdoc was permanently banned from the FurNet IRC network on January 2007 after a series of short and long term bans (spanning months) for prolonged abuse of FurNet users and network admins. He frequently recruits friends to plead his case or emails FurNet admins to explain that he has changed his ways.[citation needed]
Fur Affinity ban
Mozdoc was permanently banned from Fur Affinity on July 7, 2007 by site owner Dragoneer[18] due to a pattern of harrassment:
Mozdoc meets Fur. Mozdoc makes request. Fur doesn't do it right away. Mozdoc harasses user. User blocks Mozdoc. Mozdoc makes fake accounts to get around blocks, harass user. User continues to block Mozdoc, ignore him. Mozdoc threatens to kill him. Fur gets nervous, contacts admins. Admins explain to Mozdoc that's not right. Mozdoc continues to threaten, track people down, kill them... gets banned.
Then you get these e-mails and the 30+ AIM names Mozdoc created to stalk, harass and threaten me over AIM (which I did not record) and ultimate threatens to track me down at [CONVENTION_NAME_HERE] and stab me in the back with a knife. But according to everybody else... hey, he's really a nice, sweet guy once you get to know.[19] |
Dragoneer stated again in May 2008 that Mozdoc was "permanently banned from Fur Affinity and all of its services. That ban will not be lifted."[20] However, Mozdoc was unbanned in June 2012.
Telephone harassment
In August 2009, Mozdoc made over 100 phonecalls to Giza's cellphone, presumably to protest his WikiFur block. 88 of these were saved and posted online.[21] DJ Oddy made a dance mix based on their contents. Mozdoc contends that nobody contacted him to talk about the bans, and how to properly act inside a wiki.
