Species

2026-04-08T06:30:11Z

Indrora: Cleaned up the mess that was the closed species discussion with relevant content on the stickiness of the topic. This should *probably* end up in its own section for "IP law and Furry" but I digress here.

{{context}}
The term '''species''' refers to any type of [[animal]] or other living being.

In biology, a species refers to a basic unit of biological classification, or taxonomy, to identify types of living beings who are able to mate and bear children with one another.

== Species and furry ==

In the [[furry fandom]], the term is used more loosely to mean any type of animal that is used to identify a [[character]] or [[fursona]]. It may be an actual species (e.g. a [[lion]]), or may encompass multiple species (e.g. a [[mouse]]), or in some cases be a type within a species (e.g. a [[husky]]). It may also refer to hybrid species, or a mythical, fictional, or genetically engineered species.

== Phenotype ==

'''Phenotype''' is a borrowed term used by [[therian]]s, biologists and geneticists, and to a lesser extent [[furry|furries]], to decribe a person's animal affiliation. Because phenotype has a specific scientific meaning (see [[: wikipedia:phenotype|Phenotype in Wikipedia]]) that can confuse those not familiar with this contextual use, '''Theriotype''' has been suggested as a replacement in the [[were]] community.

== Intellectual property considerations ==

''Closed Species'' creators in the furry and adoptables communities
commonly assert ownership over their creations by invoking
[[w:copyright|copyright]], [[w:trademark|trademark]], and community terms of
service. These three frameworks protect different things, carry different
limitations, and interact in ways that are not always intuitive. As of 2026, no
reported [[w:United States federal court|federal court]] decision has directly
adjudicated whether a fan-created species concept constitutes protectable
[[w:intellectual property|intellectual property]] under United States law. The
cases most frequently cited in community discussions — involving franchises such
as ''[[w:Star Trek|Star Trek]]'' and ''[[w:Godzilla|Godzilla]]'' — were decided
on facts that differ substantially from the fandom context and have not been
applied by any court to independently created fan species.

=== Copyright ===

==== The idea–expression dichotomy ====

The foundational limit on copyright protection in the United States is
[[w:Copyright law of the United States|17 U.S.C. § 102(b)]], which states that copyright
protection does not extend to any "idea, procedure, process, system, method of
operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it
is described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in such
work."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title17-section102&num=0&edition=prelim |title=17 U.S.C. § 102 – Subject matter of copyright: In general |publisher=[[w:United States House of Representatives|Office of the Law Revision Counsel, U.S. House of Representatives]] |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
This [[w:idea–expression distinction|idea–expression distinction]] means that
the concept of a fictional species — the defining anatomy, traits, or premise
of a creature — is not itself copyrightable. What copyright protects is the
specific creative ''expression'' of that concept: the particular lines of a
character template, the text of written lore, and individual characters that
are sufficiently delineated.

Two related doctrines further limit what can be claimed. Under the
[[w:merger doctrine (copyright law)|merger doctrine]], established in cases
including ''[[w:Herbert Rosenthal Jewelry Corp. v. Kalpakian|Herbert Rosenthal
Jewelry Corp. v. Kalpakian]]'', 446 F.2d 738 (9th Cir.
1971),<ref>{{cite web |url=https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/446/738/245517/ |title=Herbert Rosenthal Jewelry Corp. v. Kalpakian, 446 F.2d 738 (9th Cir. 1971) |publisher=[[w:Justia|Justia]] |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
when there are only a limited number of ways to express an idea, the expression
merges with the idea and becomes unprotectable. If a species is defined by a
small set of essential visual traits, those traits may merge with the concept
itself. Under the related [[w:scènes à faire|scènes à faire]] doctrine, stock
elements that are standard or expected in a given genre — dragon wings, wolf
ears, feline tails — cannot be exclusively claimed by any one creator, as they
are treated as part of the common expressive vocabulary available to
all.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/37/202.1 |title=37 C.F.R. § 202.1 – Material not subject to copyright |publisher=[[w:Legal Information Institute|Legal Information Institute]], Cornell Law School |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>

==== Artwork and lineart ====

The specific artwork used as a character creation template — the lineart, its
composition, and its particular stylistic choices — qualifies as a
[[w:pictorial work|pictorial work]] under
[[w:Copyright law of the United States|17 U.S.C. § 102(a)(5)]], subject to the originality
requirement from ''[[w:Feist Publications, Inc., v. Rural Telephone Service Co.|
Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Service Co.]]'', 499 U.S. 340
(1991).<ref name="feist">{{cite web |url=https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/499/340/ |title=Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Service Co., 499 U.S. 340 (1991) |publisher=Justia |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
The threshold is low — any independently created work with a minimal spark of
creativity qualifies — but artwork composed primarily of standard anatomical
forms receives only "thin" copyright protection under ''[[w:Satava v. Lowry|
Satava v. Lowry]]'', 323 F.3d 805 (9th Cir.
2003),<ref name="satava">{{cite web |url=https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/323/805/602814/ |title=Satava v. Lowry, 323 F.3d 805 (9th Cir. 2003) |publisher=Justia |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
enforceable only against virtually identical copying rather than against works
that merely share the same general concept and approach.

When another artist colorizes or modifies a template drawn by someone else, the
result is a [[w:derivative work|derivative work]] under
[[w:Copyright law of the United States|17 U.S.C. § 106(2)]], which reserves the right to prepare
derivative works exclusively to the copyright holder unless licensed. The
modifying artist holds copyright only in their own original contributions — new
design elements, added details — and not in the underlying lineart.

==== Characters ====

For individual characters created within a species, copyright protection
depends on the degree of creative development. The foundational rule from
''[[w:Nichols v. Universal Pictures Corp.|Nichols v. Universal Pictures
Corp.]]'', 45 F.2d 119 (2d Cir.
1930),<ref name="nichols">{{cite web |url=https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/45/119/1489834/ |title=Nichols v. Universal Pictures Corp., 45 F.2d 119 (2d Cir. 1930) |publisher=Justia |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
holds that the less developed a character is, the less protection it receives.
The Ninth Circuit elaborated a three-part test in ''[[w:DC Comics v. Towle|DC
Comics v. Towle]]'', 802 F.3d 1012 (9th Cir.
2015),<ref name="towle">{{cite web |url=https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca9/13-55484/13-55484-2015-09-23.html |title=DC Comics v. Towle, 802 F.3d 1012 (9th Cir. 2015) |publisher=Justia |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
under which a character may be protected as a standalone work if it (1) has
physical as well as conceptual qualities, (2) is sufficiently delineated to be
recognizable whenever it appears, and (3) is especially distinctive and contains
some unique elements of expression. These tests were designed for specific,
named, commercially developed characters. A generic member of a species, without
additional individual development, would be unlikely to satisfy them.

Names are not copyrightable. [[w:Title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations|37 C.F.R. § 202.1(a)]]
explicitly excludes "words and short phrases such as names, titles, and slogans"
from copyright protection,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/37/202.1 |title=37 C.F.R. § 202.1 – Material not subject to copyright |publisher=Legal Information Institute, Cornell Law School |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
a position reiterated in [[w:United States Copyright Office|Copyright Office]]
Circular 34.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ34.pdf |title=Copyright Registration of Names, Titles, and Short Phrases (Circular 34) |publisher=[[w:United States Copyright Office|United States Copyright Office]] |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>

=== Trademark ===

==== Species names and the Abercrombie spectrum ====

Although names cannot be copyrighted, a coined species name used in connection
with the sale of goods or services may qualify as a trademark under
[[w:Lanham Act|15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title15-section1125&num=0&edition=prelim |title=15 U.S.C. § 1125 – False designations of origin, false descriptions, and dilution |publisher=Office of the Law Revision Counsel, U.S. House of Representatives |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
Trademark law protects marks that identify the commercial ''source'' of goods or
services, preventing consumer confusion about origin. It does not protect ideas
or prevent others from creating similar creative works.

The strength of a mark is assessed under the distinctiveness spectrum
established in ''[[w:Abercrombie & Fitch Co. v. Hunting World, Inc.|Abercrombie
& Fitch Co. v. Hunting World, Inc.]]'', 537 F.2d 4 (2d Cir.
1976),<ref name="abercrombie">{{cite web |url=https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/537/4/338797/ |title=Abercrombie & Fitch Co. v. Hunting World, Inc., 537 F.2d 4 (2d Cir. 1976) |publisher=Justia |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
which ranks marks from weakest to strongest as: generic, descriptive, suggestive,
arbitrary, and fanciful. Invented or "coined" words — words that have no prior
meaning in any language — sit at the fanciful end of the spectrum and receive the
strongest protection, being [[w:inherently distinctive mark|inherently
distinctive]] without requiring proof of acquired meaning.

The [[w:United States Supreme Court|Supreme Court]] confirmed in ''[[w:Two Pesos,
Inc. v. Taco Cabana, Inc.|Two Pesos, Inc. v. Taco Cabana, Inc.]]'', 505 U.S.
763 (1992)<ref>{{cite web |url=https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/505/763/ |title=Two Pesos, Inc. v. Taco Cabana, Inc., 505 U.S. 763 (1992) |publisher=Justia |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
that [[w:Title 15 of the United States Code|15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)]] protects unregistered marks and that
inherently distinctive marks need no proof of [[w:secondary meaning|secondary
meaning]] to receive protection. Common law trademark rights arise through first
use in commerce without registration; for species creators, qualifying commercial
use may include selling characters, offering commissioned artwork under the
species name, licensing design rights, or operating a branded platform.
[[w:Federal trademark registration|Federal registration]] under
[[w:Title 15 of the United States Code|15 U.S.C. § 1051]] provides broader nationwide protection
and constructive notice to later users.

==== Registered examples ====

[[Sushi Dogs]], a [[closed species]] created by SpikedPeach (Jessica Wallace)
in 2013, obtained a federal trademark registration (USPTO Registration No.
4711864, Serial No. 86359580, filed August 2014) covering downloadable image
files of the species.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://trademarks.justia.com/863/59/sushi-86359580.html |title=SUSHI DOGS – Trademark Registration No. 4711864 |publisher=Justia Trademarks |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
The species and its associated assets were transferred to a new owner, Staryon,
in 2024;<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sushidogs.com/news/43.new-owner-new-species |title=NEW OWNER, NEW SPECIES |publisher=Sushi Dogs |date=2024-04-01 |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref> Sushi Dogs' own FAQ explicitly states that its ownership
claims extend only to "the very specific world, lore, and style that Sushi Dogs
are presented in" and not to the broader concept of food-themed
creatures.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sushidogs.com/info/faq |title=FAQ |publisher=Sushi Dogs |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>

=== Terms of service and community enforcement ===

In practice, species ownership claims are most commonly enforced through
platform terms of service, community moderation, and social pressure. Community
consequences for violations — removal from group activities, blacklisting from
trades and commissions, or loss of recognition for characters within a species'
official registry — operate independently of intellectual property law. A species
owner's ability to exclude someone from their own community platform and
registered group is distinct from any legal right to prevent the creation of
similar characters elsewhere.

=== Relevant court cases ===

The following cases are most commonly cited in community discussions of species
IP. All arose from disputes over large commercial franchises with decades of documented use. Their applicability to individually created fan species is a matter of legal interpretation that no court has addressed.

==== ''Nichols v. Universal Pictures Corp.'', 45 F.2d 119 (2d Cir. 1930) ====

In this early copyright case, [[w:Learned Hand|Judge Learned Hand]] of the
Second Circuit established what became known as the
[[w:abstractions test|abstractions test]] for literary characters.<ref name="nichols" />
Hand held that copyright protection diminishes as one moves from the specific
details of a work toward its more general, abstract elements. His often-quoted
formulation — "the less developed the characters, the less they can be
copyrighted; that is the penalty an author must bear for marking them too
indistinctly" — remains the baseline rule for character copyright in the United
States.

==== ''Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Service Co.'', 499 U.S. 340 (1991) ====

The Supreme Court established in ''Feist'' that copyright requires
[[w:originality|originality]] — independent creation plus a minimal degree of
creativity — and explicitly rejected the idea that effort or "sweat of the
brow" alone confers copyright protection.<ref name="feist" /> The Court held
that facts and data arranged in routine ways are not copyrightable, even if
assembling them required substantial labor.

==== ''Herbert Rosenthal Jewelry Corp. v. Kalpakian'', 446 F.2d 738 (9th Cir. 1971) ====

The Ninth Circuit found that a jeweled bee pin, though original enough to be
copyrightable, could not be protected against other jeweled bee pins because the
idea of a bee and the expression of a bee in pin form were inseparable — merged.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/446/738/245517/ |title=Herbert Rosenthal Jewelry Corp. v. Kalpakian, 446 F.2d 738 (9th Cir. 1971) |publisher=Justia |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
The court held that when the range of expression available for an idea is very
narrow, protecting the expression would effectively protect the idea itself,
which § 102(b) prohibits.

==== ''Satava v. Lowry'', 323 F.3d 805 (9th Cir. 2003) ====

The Ninth Circuit found that glass-in-glass jellyfish sculptures, despite being
original works, received only thin copyright protection because they
incorporated natural jellyfish anatomy and standard artistic conventions for
depicting sea life.<ref name="satava" /> The court held that such works could be
protected only against "virtually identical copying" and not against other
artists depicting the same subject matter in the same general style.

==== ''DC Comics v. Towle'', 802 F.3d 1012 (9th Cir. 2015) ====

The Ninth Circuit held that the [[w:Batmobile|Batmobile]] qualified for
copyright protection as a character in its own right, separate from any specific
artistic depiction.<ref name="towle" /> The court articulated a three-part test
under which a non-human "character" may be independently copyrightable if it (1)
has physical as well as conceptual qualities, (2) is sufficiently delineated to
be recognizable across multiple works, and (3) is especially distinctive and
contains unique elements of expression beyond stock types.

==== ''Toho Co., Ltd. v. William Morrow and Co., Inc.'', 33 F. Supp. 2d 1206 (C.D. Cal. 1998) ====

A [[w:United States district court|federal district court]] found that
[[w:Godzilla|Godzilla]], as a character, was protectable intellectual property
based on its consistent and distinctive visual and conceptual qualities across
multiple works.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp2/33/1206/2315038/ |title=Toho Co., Ltd. v. William Morrow and Co., Inc., 33 F. Supp. 2d 1206 (C.D. Cal. 1998) |publisher=Justia |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
The court found that Toho's specific, highly developed depiction of the
character was protectable, while noting that the general concept of a giant
monster was not.

==== ''Paramount Pictures Corp. v. Axanar Productions, Inc.'', No. 2:15-cv-09938 (C.D. Cal. 2015–2017) ====

[[w:CBS|CBS]] and [[w:Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] sued Axanar Productions
over a crowdfunded fan film set in the ''Star Trek'' universe.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/cbs-paramount-settle-lawsuit-star-trek-fan-film-966433/ |title=CBS, Paramount Settle Lawsuit Over 'Star Trek' Fan Film |work=[[w:The Hollywood Reporter|The Hollywood Reporter]] |date=2017-01-20 |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
On January 3, 2017, Judge R. Gary Klausner ruled that the ''Axanar'' works were
objectively substantially similar to the ''Star Trek'' copyrighted works,
including the [[w:Klingon|Klingon]] and [[w:Vulcan (Star Trek)|Vulcan]] species,
the Klingon uniform, and specific settings.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/summaries/paramount-pictures-axanar-productions-jan-3-2017.pdf |title=Paramount Pictures Corp. v. Axanar Productions, Inc. – Fair Use Summary |publisher=United States Copyright Office |date=2017-01-03 |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>
The court rejected an argument that the works constituted transformative fair
use, finding that the defendants sought to "stay true" to the ''Star Trek''
canon rather than comment on or critique it. The case settled before trial in
January 2017, with Axanar Productions acknowledging that the works "crossed
boundaries acceptable to CBS and Paramount relating to copyright law" and
agreeing to limit any release to two non-commercial short
films.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://deadline.com/2017/01/paramount-cbs-reach-settlement-with-star-trek-fan-film-axanar-producers-1201890773/ |title=Paramount & CBS Reach Settlement With 'Star Trek' Fan Film Producers |work=[[w:Deadline Hollywood|Deadline]] |date=2017-01-21 |access-date=2026-04-07}}</ref>

==== ''Abercrombie & Fitch Co. v. Hunting World, Inc.'', 537 F.2d 4 (2d Cir. 1976) ====

The Second Circuit established the canonical framework for evaluating trademark
strength, ranking marks on a spectrum from generic (unprotectable) through
descriptive, suggestive, and arbitrary, to fanciful.<ref name="abercrombie" />
Fanciful marks — invented words with no prior meaning — are inherently
distinctive and receive the strongest protection without requiring evidence of
acquired distinctiveness.

=== "Get to the point, asshole" ===

* The concept of a species — its defining traits, anatomy, and premise — is not copyrightable under U.S. law. Only specific creative expressions of that concept are protected. (''Nichols''; 17 U.S.C. § 102(b))
* Effort alone does not create copyright. Lore, community infrastructure, and design work must independently meet the originality threshold. (''Feist'')
* If a species is defined by a small number of traits that are the only practical way to express its concept, those traits may not be protectable at all. (''Kalpakian''; merger doctrine)
* Designs based substantially on natural animal anatomy receive thin protection, enforceable only against near-identical copying. (''Satava'')
* A highly developed individual character is more likely to be protected than a generic member of a species described only by shared traits. (''Nichols''; ''Towle'')
* The ''Towle'' three-part character test was built for a fictional vehicle with decades of commercial development. No court has applied it to a fandom-created species.
* ''Axanar'' found substantial similarity across a bundle of elements from a fifty-year commercial franchise. The case settled before trial; settlements are not legal precedent. It did not establish that species concepts are independently copyrightable.
* ''Toho'' protected Godzilla as a specific, commercially developed character, not the general concept of a giant monster. The same logic limits how broadly any species creator can claim ownership of a creature concept.
* A coined species name used in commerce can be protected as a trademark. It does not prevent others from creating similar-looking characters under a different name. (''Abercrombie''; 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a))
* No court has ever directly ruled on whether a fandom-created species concept is protectable IP. All enforcement in this space has been through community mechanisms, not litigation.

Indrora: Figured I'd add more information

'''Indrora''' (Morgan Gangwere) lives in [[Wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]] where he is a student in the art of writing code. More often that not he is found in the various [[IRC]] channels he frequents (namely '''#[[linuxfurs]]''' on [[AnthroChat]], '''#windows''', '''#linux''' and '''#defocus''' on [[Wikipedia:Freenode|Freenode]]).

== Fursona ==
Indrora is a 6 foot tall [[anthro]] yellow [[fox]] of moderate to medium build who is often seen wearing - most of the time - camouflage gear ([[Wikipedia:Operation Desert Storm|Desert Storm 1]]-era) and a T-shirt, generally of some programming ire. A messenger bag refitted for laptops and other tools goes with him everywhere.

== Interests ==
{{Contributor}}
Indrora is interested in many things, though one key item is his love of programming, however he enjoys playing games such as [[Wikipedia:Team Fortress 2|Team Fortress 2]] and [[Wikipedia:Quake 3|Quake III]] with fellow furries. When in IRC, he tries to have intelligent conversations on a variety of topics, from style guidelines in [[Wikipedia:C Sharp (programming language)|C#]] to whats going to go on with the latest updates on his favorite games.

When it comes to computers he's a protagonist of [[Wikipedia:Linux|Linux]], his operating system of choice, of which he prefers the [[Wikipedia:Debian|Debian]] distribution. He also on occasion uses varieties of [[Wikipedia:UNIX|UNIX]] such as [[Wikipedia:Plan9 from bell labs|Plan9]]. He usually works in [[Wikipedia:Windows (Operating System)|Windows]], though usually under the careful setup of a [[Wikipedia:Cygwin|Cygwin]] environment. When coding, He uses either [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Visual Studio|Visual Studio]] or [[Wikipedia:SharpDevelop|SharpDevelop]] for doing [[Wikipedia:.NET Framework|.NET]] development, with [[Wikipedia:CodeBlocks|Code::Blocks]] for C++ and OpenGL work. His focus primarily revolves around small, simple to use apps (such as clipboard assistants and other such things) however he's done some larger projects.

Art is also another one of Indrora's focuses. He enjoys artists such as [[Tirrel|Cerberus (Tirrel)]] and [[Al Mackey]], as well as those that led him into the fandom such as [[Shadow Wolf]] and [[Kuitsuku]]. He is also a mild artist himself, usually coloring line art or modifying images from other artists.

Indrora: Itami -> Wrong Itami.

'''NotFurNet''' (usually shortened to NFN) is an [[Wikipedia:IRC network|IRC network]] co-founded by [[Fae'liin M'taali]] and [[Keyla]] in June of 2009. Soon after the network became publicly accessible, a partnership was forged with [[FurSpace|FurSpace]] and '''frostedbutts.notfurnet.com''' was linked into the network. '''Wolf.notfurnet.com''' (owned and administrated by [[Mr Wolf|MrWolf]]) was also linked in at this time, and two servers ('''psychaotix.notfurnet.com''' and '''grayfox.notfurnet.com''') were temporarily retired and are at the time of this writing still offline.

* Due to FreeBSD port of the UnrealIRCD having an IPv6-related bug, IPv6 connectivity is currently unavailable.
* Due to the shuffling of network infrastructure, the RR-DNS address ('''irc.notfurnet.com''') currently contains outdated entries and usage should be avoided.

Indrora: added my opinion on the deletion; archive soon?

==Request==
:''Moved from page'' --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 14:41, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

I (Fae'liin M'taali) as administrator of NotFurNet blanked this page because I do not wish my personal projects or information be be available here at this time. As I obviously do not have an account, I understand the reversion of the page.

Could you please delete and/or lock this page as blank. The user who made this page (Indrora) was told explicitly via IRC not to do so, and did not have my blessing. I would be very thankful if you could remove this entry, as it was both unauthorized and unwanted.

Thank you for your time. If you have more questions, I am available via IRC (Fae`liin_M`taali) on Anthrochat, FurNet, and NotFurNet.

~Fae`liin M`taali, NotFurNet Founder.

:I'm the guy who did this. I actually did it for the fact that I was tired of having to explain shitloads every time I mentioned NFN -- Even to people who use FurSpace -- and to some who live on other networks normally. Either way, I have taken the issue up with Fae, everything is basically cool now. </drama>

== Deletion? ==
Hold on a sec - since when did we delete articles not about people on request? --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 14:17, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

:I will ask a couple of the admin of the validity or not of the deletion of a private service. I have no problems with it, but =/ ;... - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 14:20, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Indrora: Created the page; Nothing much. I've tried to keep the amount of information minimal but relevant.

NotFurNet (usually shortened to NFN) is an IRC network that aims to be no-frills and no-fuss. Its servers are administrated by keyla, Fae`liin`m`taali and several others.

== Server list ==
* frostedbutts.notfurnet.com (working as of Feb. 15 2010)
* notfurnet.nilcat.com (Reverse-DNS to greyfox)
* greyfox.notfurnet.com (down as of newyears 2010)
* irc.notfurnet.com (DNS rotator)
* wolf.notfurnet.com (working as of Feb. 15 2010)
* naughtyfoxkitty.notfurnet.com (also working as of Feb. 15 2010)

Several servers have SSL support; they are locally signed by xcXEON (under the machine "xcxeon@yiffbox") and therefore have "invalid" certificates according to most IRC clients.

== Channels ==
Several channels have mirrored themsevles over from other networks (such as [[Anthrochat]]) and some have outright moved. Fae`liin`m`taali has created a relation between the two via #halcyon on both Anthrochat and NotFurNet.

== rules ==

The most recent ruleset is (as provided by the /rules command):
* No whining - if you're having squabbles, fix it yourself. The IRCops are here to maintain the network, not your lives. ^^
* Try not to piss EVERYONE off. You can't win them all, but that's no excuse to lose on purpose.
* Relax...chill out...or not. Do what you like, but don't expect to be treated special. Drama-llamas will be dealt with at IRCop discretion. The IRCops are not here to babysit or handle personal/channel disputes unless it becomes a matter of network wellbeing, which will be decided by the oper in question. If they tell you to handle it yourself, don't go oper to oper trying to get an answer you like. Instead, invest some time in gaining the maturity to deal with matters appropriately yourself.

I dont check this stuff all that often, nor to be completely honest do I at one point '''care'''. Feel free to leave messages here, but dont expect speedy responses.

The following people in my world view '''do not exist for all intensive purposes''':
* TempDog (because he needs to be sent a few cases of mydol)
* Claire Orso / ClaireBurr (More mydol is in order, stop blaming people for "DDoS"-ing your server. L2yourhostsucksballs.) On the other hand, his boyfriend is perfectly OK in my eyes.

== Request for page removal, again ==

The time is 8:40pm Pacific time 8/22/2008. Twenty-four hours from now, I'm going to remove this page completely as I've stressed before that I have ZERO desire to be here. I've stayed quiet, I've not bothered anybody, and so this seems just and fair to me that this article is removed and forgotten about.

::Reguardless, he has made another request for removal. This time directly to me. His opinion on the administration team is still rather low. He just wants this entire article deleted and locked. In his words "Like he never existed". The trouble is that both times this came to a vote, it ended in a tie more or less and the votes didn't get a whole lot of attention by our considerable user base. --[[User:Markus|Markus]]([[User talk:Markus|talk]]) 08:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

:::Agreed. Finally someone else sees that the whole 'vote on this' system is broken. No, its not just broken, it never worked to begin with. There is no way me or my friends could've ever made it in our favor because no matter what, administrators will always find reason to make some of the votes not count, or just simply overwhelm it with sheer numbers on their side. No, voting for my exclusion is not going to work and it will never work because everyone is already too biased against me for it to ever work. I just want my name gone, like I never existed here. I never wanted my name on here to begin with and I think its complete bullshit that I have to get people from this 'community' to agree to something to get something done that shouldn't take more than one person to do in the first place. {{unsigned|Mozdoc}}

About damn time you answer back. What makes you think that opinions haven't changed? How would you even know? I've volunteered at FC08 and did an outstanding job there. I've made amends to the users of FurryMUCK as well as Noriko, and have all but stayed quiet and nothing has happened to anybody for the better part of an entire year and yet that's not 'good enough' for anybody? I want my name and article removed off of WikiFur. There have been no significant edits or reasons given to continue to have it here and I want it gone, as I've repeatedly said ever since my name first started appearing here. {{unsigned|Mozdoc}}

: no, you have not made amends to me. please do not claim such things.
: yes, i am being nice to you, and i am trying to help you understand why things are as they are. i still do not understand why i do this myself. but, it is not because you have made amends.

==An outside-ish opinion==
I've kept mostly quiet on the subject, but I have a word or two to say as far as deletion. The person in question has made death threats, am I right? As well as several other quite serious infractions both on personal bases and to organizations. I think it's worthwhile keeping information here so people know what to watch out for. Just my two cents. I fully expect backlash on this, but so be it, I've said my piece. --[[User:IanKeith|IanKeith]] 23:43, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Mozdoc hasn't committed any crimes outside of verbal abuse, if that's what you're asking. He has no public criminal record. `` [[Special:Contributions/98.234.188.161|98.234.188.161]] 20:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

: however, there is a court action that was taken against him. please see [http://www.furbid.org/images/administaur/restrain.pdf copy of public temporary restraining order]. which he violated on more than one occasion.
: --[[User:Ayukawataur|Ayukawataur : FurBid-SF Administaur]] 21:07, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

== Personal Request ==

Hey umm, i kinda think it's rude to post so much bad and not enough good about him on the page. I mean, i guess i agree with IanKeith about letting people know, but they should really make it less tl;dr and add some good about him. Because this entire article makes him seem like some sort of evil monster, not like who he really is (someone who has the balls to tell off an admin when he feels the need). So maybe if people could add some good, or not erase the good i add in. That'd be nice. :) Thanks. [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 05:52, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

: i have edit your additions. details about his many threat on kacey you did remove should not be remove. they are legally documented facts.
: personal opinion about his personality should only be post if can be cited. i have long history with him. i have been through this many time. please be care full.
: also, working at fc'08 is previously documented in introduction of same article and did not need to being say again. article i have writing in past of mozdoc performance at fc'08 is in reference section. it does give many good comment about him. read rest of many thing i have write from experience will find many not good too. he is what he is and must learn to change to better person if community is to see him as better person.
: --[[User:Ayukawataur|Ayukawataur : FurBid-SF Administaur]] 06:38, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
::I personally know him, and he's really not a bad person. :/ Just upset about the fact theres so much information about him online that he'd rather no one knew about. I deleted the death threats part because it's just details (saying he threatened, i believe, is enough to know) that he's upset people know. A lot of people can make death threats when they're angry. Doesn't really mean they're a bad person. Besides, this entire article is just negative negative negative... it should be shortened down a LOT, and people should maybe add in the fact he's not really a bad person like this article makes him seem. :/ [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 03:41, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

::: i explain - you read. it is federal offense to make death threat online. the california supreme court did decide he did represent actual threat kacey life. that is why he was ban from so many convention for many year.
::: he also actively stalked her at convention more than one year time, and did require police intervention, and did require convention security intervention.
::: he has being ban from many site for active harassment and stalking of kacey, and of her wife. he has been ban from many other site for harassment and threats against other person/people, some direct some indirect, and some not related to his action harassment of kacey and her wife.
::: i have knowing him 7.5 year now. he has not change. all he does care about is what he does desire. he does not care who he does hurt if he does achieve that goal. he does still choose anger and choose to scare and hurt other people. he still does threaten, and still does refuse to accept responsibility for his choice.
::: no - he is not bad person. he is a person who does bad things. in same way a pit bull is not a bad dog, it still must be accountable for what it does do. and as owner of pit bull has obligation to warn people of danger, we have obligation to both warn people and document history of fandom, good and bad.
::: --[[User:Ayukawataur|Ayukawataur : FurBid-SF Administaur]] 02:31, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

:::: Yeah, but a lot of people want their privacy respected about things like this. Like Muzz, who's page is protected. Why can't you respect his own privacy? Most people who read this read it, think he's a bad person, and he gets stuck with it. 'I've met him, talked to him... sure he's not a fluffy happy person, but he's not like, a mass murderer or anything. And from what i've been told and heard from others, his life is all free of drama except online where people won't give him another chance. And besides, he really doesn't want this page here, but you guys won't respect that. :/ I know you believe its your duty to let people know, but it's still just upsetting to him. I hate getting mixed up in it, cuz it's really none of my business, but i know exactly how he feels (i've been banned off sites for getting mad, and not given chances, as well as having a wiki page about me on ED i can't rid). I just hate that he's so upset about this. It's old news, really, and i don't think he's death threatened anyone recently... I guess i'd feel better about this page if someone would put a bunch of nice stuff about him up there too. Because this entire article focuses on the bad and none of the good. :/ [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 21:41, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

::::: respect? we look at what meaning that word.
::::: ''esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability'' ~ dictionary dot com
::::: why not respect this desire? refer above where i have state, he has not change. he still has no respect for wikifur, wikifur admin/staff. he has no respect for the right of artists. he has no respect for me, my site, or fact my assistant admin has a vote in operation. he has zero respect for my property, fa, da, lj, or any other person that is not mozdoc. he has no respect for the law, people who risk life every day to protect other with law, or for any thing that may be in the way of mozdoc get what mozdoc does desire at moment of desire. and, when he is face that which he must respect, he does choose to be angry, belligerent, threatening, and tantrum.
::::: i have not ever being ban from any site. i do not anger, mad, upset. it does accomplish not any thing. anger is a choice, and if choice is to act way he does, consequence there is. that is call 'self responsibility compare to cause/effect'. mozdoc was warn many many time consequence of action and did makeing choice to make action that cause this issue.
::::: he has many chance been give by many. i am one who has done. i am also one who is documented on that page as nice things have publicize about him. does not change what he is and how he does act. or how he does act every time he does contact me. you do not know how he does act then, just as you do not 'think' he does thret any more. fact and opinion two separate.
::::: other thing should know - you are not first or last person he will convince he is poor person who has being wrong by society. you are not fault be cause not knowing what is past. but i ask, do not talk about respect that you claim he deserve if you will not respect the right of choice rest of us have.

===Article Removal===
''Moved from [[Mozdoc]]''

As the owner of this name I should point out how pissed off I am about it being up here. I did not start this article about me and I have no desire to have it remain up here. I've demanded repeatedly to the WikiFur administrators to remove it immediately and all of its contents. What have I gotten? Absolutely fucking nothing. These pieces of shit fucking sorry ass excuses for administrators don't do a fucking thing, which is their JOB I should point out. Other people get their articles removed, names changed, and other shit done and it happens happily and without question for why. Me? I ask to get a fucking article removed and all I get is banned for weeks, months, or years on end which only makes me come back even more pissed off because I did NOTHING to warrant getting an article started about me and I sure as fuck am not going to tolerate it remaining up here and will continue to hunt down those that are responsible and do something about their existence.

Why haven't I gotten my article removed? Simple. The sacks of shit here claim that I've "done something worth warning others about", and that's the only fucking reason. Some lame ass piss poor excuse to make it so that they don't have to do their JOBS. GreenReaper is an absolutely useless piece of DOG SHIT. He's supposed to be the god of Wikifur because he created it. And what does he do? NOTHING. All he does is appoint other piece of dog shit administrators to handle everything, and what do they do? NOTHING. All they do is bitch, whine, moan, complain, excuse, and pretend that there isn't a fucking thing wrong with the world. Just getting my real life name removed from here was an act of god in itself and it took one administrator to just fuck over the rest and do it and tell them to fuck off. Thanks for that whoever you are but that's not what I wanted.

I WANT MY FUCKING ARTICLE REMOVED FROM WIKIFUR IMMEDIATELY AND NO QUESTIONS ASKED ABOUT FUCKING WHY.

Just getting my real life name removed required these sacks of shit to "vote" on it. Oh great, like that ever got anything fucking done because since they're the administrators they can rig shit to fall into their favor no matter what I do so therefore NOTHING GETS DONE. I do not tolerate, pretend to like, love, or worship administrators and I make no attempt to hide this fact. ADMINISTRATORS ARE FUCKING WORTHLESS, BRAINLESS, DICKLESS, MOTHER FUCKING ASSHOLES AND THAT'S ALL. Absolutely useless. If they actually did their fucking job I wouldn't be having to write this would I? No. This article would be gone and I'd be much happier continuing my life in the furry fandom, cesspool of shit that its turned into.

So after being banned for a MONTH by some dick sucking prick Doug Muth, whoever the fuck you are, I come back and make it a point to find administrators and once again ask that my page be removed and no questions asked about it. What happens? Fuckface GreenReaper bans me for infinite time. What the fuck for? I WANT MY FUCKING ARTICLE REMOVED YOU PIECE OF SHIT. REMOVE IT. THERE IS NO REASON TO FUCKING KEEP IT.

And as for you, Doug Muth, how about answering your god damn phone? I'm obviously calling you for a FUCKING REASON TO BITCH YOU THE FUCK OUT YOU ASSHOLE OVER BANNING ME FOR THE LAST MONTH. You think that I'm just going to come back and pretend everything is fine? If that's the way you think then you should be shot in the fucking head because you got another thing coming. I DO NOT GO AWAY AND FORGET THOSE WHO'VE FUCKED WITH ME AND THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT AND YOU INSISTENTLY BEING THE ONLY PERSON REVERSING CHANGES TO MY ARTICLE, BANNING ME, AND OTHERWISE FUCKING WITH ME WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED.

It also doesn't fucking help that some asshole Noriko (Ayukawataur) thinks that this article should stay up. Again, WHAT THE FUCK FOR? So there was a legal issue between me and you that's since EXPIRED. Let it the fuck go you dickheaded piece of shit. Its over. Let it the FUCK GO. Whatever happened between me and you does not need to be told about to the entire fucking world to serve as some fucking warning to everybody else who I choose to fucking talk to.

This is the article about ME, so the rest of you fucking administrators can just fuck yourselves. Do not reverse any edits I've made because if I'm going to be FORCED into remaining in your fucking database I want people to know WHY I'm here. It isn't by my fucking choice. YOU PIECES OF SHIT REFUSE TO DO YOUR FUCKING JOB AND REMOVE THIS ARTICLE TO BEGIN WITH. YOU ALL SHOULD BE FUCKING KILLED FOR ALL I FUCKING CARE. NOT LIKE YOU WILL BE MISSED.

GET RID OF MY FUCKING ARTICLE, NOW. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE.

== Mocking the Dead ==

Can someone who writes wiki articles well add to the [[Argon]] part of the article his mocking of the guy's death and gleefully cheering at [[Mavra]] now being a widow thanks to the @toading 10 years ago? http://mozdoc.deadjournal.com/3690.html for link goodness of his desperate need to be in a mental hospital.{{unsigned|97.126.32.36}}

And this is bothering you because...why? If there was any validity to Argon and Mavra being married physically in the real world, I'd love to see it. Really I would. I really would. Because as far as I'm fucking concerned the two delusional asses considered getting "married" the events being roleplayed out on a fucking MUCK system and so that means that in real life they're still single and unattached to each other. If they were married Mavra would've known that this Argon had died right away the day it happened December twenty-second. Instead, she isn't married to anybody and found out about it two days before the end of the year, December thirtith. I'm sorry but I cannot take these claims of being "married" as valid when it was obvious that they never were. Am I the only one seeing this?

Moved from :page

for every person who does claim such nice, is possible to present as many or more who claim opposite.

: = Basic info =
: Mozdoc's basic personality is considered normal among the community with one main fault: impatience. It is a known fault that he acknowledges. To cure this and learn patience, he has taken up creating artwork. He's still learning the basics, and is wanting commentary on both his artwork and all the problems he's supposedly causing; the more direct communications with him, the more he'll learn about things.

: [[STrRedWolf]] has met Mozdoc in person at [[Further Confusion]] 2010 and found him rather likable in real life, if just initially misguided.

= One sided controversy =
The existing bans and the listing of controversy that is heavy-handed and one-sided against Mozdoc only serves to further set back Mozdoc's intentions of fixing his behavior; infact, it only worsens it.

Infact, has Kacey contacted Mozdoc first off to tell him of the copyright violations? Where's the documentation in that? There's little fact in that here.

A message to Mozdoc, as well as why this still exists (courtesy of me, from my experience)
Mozdoc has shown himself to be a bit of an ass; Much like certain CS:S admins I've run into. In fact, Mozdoc in many ways has shown himself to be the most inadult people i've ever had the unpleasure of meeting.

First, he does something retarded (okay, lots of furs do stupid things). He then goes off and evades the punishment he's been given instead of going "okay, I was an idiot, lets talk this over like adults." In doing so he proves he has the fundamental mentality of a '''child'''. A spoiled one at that.

Second, when his actions lead to people being really upset at him, he blames other people and starts throwing a temper tantrum.

Third, when people still wont clear the page he becomes irrational. To be personally honest, I'm surprised that he hasn't been sent a few more bottles of Mydol.

{{Contributor}}
Indrora is interested in many things, though one key item is his love of programming, however he enjoys playing games such as [[Wikipedia:Team Fortress 2|Team Fortress 2]] and [[Wikipedia:Quake 3|Quake III]] with fellow furries. When in IRC, He'll argue anything relevant to his interests, from style guidelines in [[Wikipedia:C Sharp (programming language)|C#]] to whats going to go on with the latest updates on his favorite games.

When it comes to computers he's a protagonist of [[Wikipedia:Linux|Linux]], his operating system of choice, of which he prefers the [[Wikipedia:Debian|Debian]] distribution. He also on occasion uses varieties of [[Wikipedia:UNIX|UNIX]] such as [[Wikipedia:Plan9 from bell labs|Plan9]]. He usually works in [[Wikipedia:Windows (Operating System)|Windows]], though usually under the careful setup of a [[Wikipedia:Cygwin|Cygwin]] environment. When coding, He uses either [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Visual Studio|Visual Studio]] or [[Wikipedia:SharpDevelop|SharpDevelop]] for doing [[Wikipedia:.NET Framework|.NET]] development, with [[Wikipedia:CodeBlocks|Code::Blocks]] for C++ and OpenGL work. His focus primarily revolves around small, simple to use apps (such as clipboard assistants and other such things) however he's done some larger projects.

Art is also another one of Indrora's focuses. He enjoys artists such as [[Tirrel|Cerberus (Tirrel)]] and [[Al Mackey]], as well as those that led him into the fandom such as [[Shadow Wolf]] and [[Kuitsuku]]. He is also a mild artist himself, usually coloring line art or modifying images from other artists.

'''Mozdoc Alicentaur''' (real name: '''Jeremy Quentin Wetzel''') is a is a [[centaur]] with a glittering magical [[unicorn]] horn, a third eye in the middle of his forehead, wings, and, in the "centaurpede" shape, several hundred [[equine]] torsos in a row.<ref>[http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/d/r/dreapate/mozdocthelong.jpg.html Depiction of Mozdoc the Centaurpede] by [[Andrea Pate]]</ref> He currently resides in California.

Some controversy has been placed against him in recent years. According to him a court order was handed to him by a uniformed police officer, and Kacey made a phone call to his parents essentially bribing them to tell Moz that he was guilty on all charges. As to the allegations of account cracking, he denies them stating that on another MUCK a friend of his had cracked an account and he talked to him about it on FurryMUCK.

In a converstion with him:
(9:57:52 AM) indrora|laptop: the pdf i read is useless court bullshit, so what was the actual procecution? in a nutshell?
(9:58:06 AM) Mozdoc: He never even met me. Suddenly I get a cop at my door serving me a restraining order summons.
(9:58:34 AM) indrora|laptop: my question was more focused towards what was said in court
(9:58:42 AM) Mozdoc: I didn't go!
(9:59:40 AM) Mozdoc: He called my parents behind my back, and basically made it so that my parents told me that I should just deal with it and not go to court and being the stupid kid I was I agreed. Talking to him now, had I gone, he probably wouldn't have ruined four years of my life.
