Peppicatred / Felineattraction / Spike

[zodiacart.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. I tried searching the tags to see if this person has already been reported here, and I can't seem to find a post on them. But, if another one has already been made I will be happy to append this post as a comment on it, and have this one removed.

This post is about a person who goes by many names, her current ones are:
http://felineattraction.deviantart.com/
Peppicatred
skitzmix (her known name on furcadia)

In the past she has gone as Spike or some variant of it with numbers, I know she was banned from FA and then permabanned from FA for trying to dodge her ban.

The most recent trace she has done is of my own artwork:
http://tinypic.com/r/25f7u4i/7
http://felineattraction.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d48i1v3

Original can be seen in the following places as well as my FA icon. these images also appear in my DA, zodiacspothole:

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5967439/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5967438/

And here is an image layover of the two:
http://tinypic.com/r/2s81no1/7

She has blocked me on two or three of my DA accounts for calling her out on tracing in the past. her and I have also had a conversation in Furcadia about her tracing, some time back.

07/12/11 20:12:45 Zodiac: Answer me honestly. Why do you keep tracing?

07/12/11 20:12:59 Zodiac: Are you trying to troll people

07/12/11 20:13:08 skitzmix: i stopped, untill that one from dayna because she kept pming me on furc alt market

07/12/11 20:13:50 skitzmix: i did that one of daynas because she pissed me off

07/12/11 20:13:52 Zodiac: And why every time someone catches you do you argue with them and insist you are not/

07/12/11 20:14:13 Zodiac: And, do you understand that these are all the reasons why people don't like you?

07/12/11 20:14:17 Zodiac: It really baffles me

07/12/11 20:14:20 skitzmix: because people are jerks

07/12/11 20:14:33 Zodiac: People are jerks because you are acting in a way that makes them not like you

07/12/11 20:14:35 skitzmix: i just want to be left alone :(

07/12/11 20:14:37 Zodiac: So they have no reason to be nice to you

07/12/11 20:14:44 Zodiac: Then why bother coming online if you want to be left alone/

07/12/11 20:15:00 skitzmix: i have a few friends in furc

07/12/11 20:15:02 Zodiac: You keep doing all of this shit to push people away but then you get mad when people treat you like shit

07/12/11 20:51:22 skitzmix: http://fav.me/d3nl2w2

07/12/11 20:51:27 skitzmix: its done

She has several other incidents of tracing in the past, and she is especially known by many for tracing/stalking Rynies, Pez, and many of their friends. Heres some screen shots I still have of past incidents, I'll find more of them if I can.

This image was traced from a drawing by Rynies, and we reported it. Either herself or DA chose to remove it, we aren't sure, and then she uploaded it again in a different color.

Again, I'm sorry if there is already a post on this person, I tried to find one and I couldn't. Please tell me if there has already been one made.

She actually can get into bigger trouble for avoiding the deletion of traced work, especially when it is the same one. Even if DA or she deleted it, if there was a report filed, it will be in their database.

http://damn-army.deviantart.com/ can help you in reporting it if you alert them, and contacting http://realitysquared.deviantart.com/ could do a lot to solve this problem quickly.

[germanchoclates.livejournal.com]

or rather, resubmitting works deleted by the DA staff or broke TOS and Copyright policy before will get you into a tiff.

[demonofdreams.livejournal.com]

dA prioritises first-party reports, so she has to report them herself if she wants dA to pay attention to her. It's best not to get a reporting Group involved unless the work isn't yours and it's a gallery of 50+ violations. I think she knows that already, seeing as she says she reports the artwork.

[magusmanx.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. This girl is a piece of work. I've watched her shenanigans for a while and it just doesn't make sense. Tracing is tracing, no matter the intent. Who cares if you are mad at someone? You do not trace.

She doesn't understand, nor does she learn. She's been caught and called out so many times, and each time she swears every one is just 'picking on her'. I kept hoping she'd grow up and see the mess she made, but it doesn't look like she ever will.

[zodiacart.livejournal.com]

I don't think she will ever understand. Even her personal 'friend' has told me that she is pretty much messed up in the head and this will never stop.

[lackoflollies.livejournal.com]

Looks like she deactivated that account.

[lackoflollies.livejournal.com]

the peppicat one, I mean. The FelineAttraction is still up, just 'abandoned'

[zydala.livejournal.com]

ohhh noooo not herrrrrrr

she's been spamming my gf capribebe's formspring with 'questions' for a year now... saying anything, from questioning her shaving habits to sending random swears to telling her how she hopes her dog dies (and it did just recently, but she was a bit late on that tasteful little message).

She's also made 'fanart' of my gf's character's dead body being strung up, x-es for the eyeballs and all.

I think the beware should just be something along the lines of DO NOT ENGAGE. She will NEVER let go of things. She makes journals and sends messages to people about how she 'just wants to be left alone' but then spams them with shit. My girlfriend hasn't actually spoken to her directly in more than a year an hasn't even mentioned her name online at all, but spike's still apparently being 'harrassed' by her and other FA people or something. I don't know. She has so many problems and I think she has trouble understanding how to respond to things; the whole reason capri even tried talking to her was to see if she couldn't help her understand how her behavior was bad, and it just... turned out for the worse.

So yeah. Can of worms.

[china-kitty.livejournal.com]

Holy cow! What the hell is her problem? So definitely a beware about her.

[aurastarlucario.livejournal.com]

....Wow.



How do I even begin to respond to that? o__0

[dilario.livejournal.com]

oh nooo....
other accounts (all banned for harassment and tracing) that I know of were http://www.furaffinity.net/user/spike4evah http://www.furaffinity.net/user/mikumiku34/ http://www.furaffinity.net/user/mousegirl34/
(I don't know how to do links, herp)

she will never stop this behavior. I haven't spoken with her in over a year and she STILL spams me on formspring, makes new IM accounts to harass me, and she is constantly making new alt accounts and immediately trying to become buddy-buddy with me and a few others she clings on to for some reason (the ones I know on fa in particular are ali, rynies, and rainbow).

[lackoflollies.livejournal.com]

Oh wow that's her?! Definitely a valid beware now if it wasn't before! Holy smokes.

[zodiacart.livejournal.com]

Thanks for posting these, i couldn't remember what names she had on FA when i posted the journal. I am unable to at the moment, but I will ammend them to this post.

[mikaufoxy.livejournal.com]

Even the conversation I read shows she has a serious one-track mind.

Well-deserved warning.

(frozen) fuck off

[amy maree (from livejournal.com)]

leave me alone, i dont fucking trace anymore. and the recent one was a revenge post!

(frozen) Re: fuck off

[amy maree (from livejournal.com)]

i am getting sick and tired of this shit. furcadians and furaffinities, fuck off and get a live and leave me alone

(frozen) Re: fuck off

[kayla-la.livejournal.com]

Uh, yes, we don't do this kind of thing here. We talk like reasonable adults. Freezing these.

[amy maree (from livejournal.com)]

....

[amy maree (from livejournal.com)]

k sorry for swearing but i dont trace anymore end of story, my DA account has been deactivated, thanks to spamming from rynies. so yeah, you wont be seeing me around DA again

(frozen) No. She traces.

[dreambrewer.livejournal.com]

http://i.imgur.com/3PBJL.png

Any claims that she "doesn't trace anymore" should be disregarded. This girl cannot be trusted. Regardless of whatever excuses a person makes, tracing is tracing. Nobody deserves to have their art stolen and to have the gall to put up an "Art Theft is a Crime" stamp at the bottom of a journal where this idiot admits to tracing is sickening.

(frozen) Re: No. She traces.

[sickness.livejournal.com]

Agreed. There is not point in listening to her many attempts to say she no longer traces, or pay any attention to her acting as if she is being unfairly harassed and accused. This has gone on for years, and it will never stop.

[zodiacart.livejournal.com]

Updated her account list if anyone needs to keep track.

[minuet.livejournal.com]

Her deviantart is activated again. She just commented on one of my pieces.

Thought I'd blocked her. Oh well.

Here are the accounts I know about. I think there's another one I'm missing but I cant remember what it is.

EDIT MARCH 19th 2012: Since this post, I have had NO contact with this person what so ever - up util around the time when she came posting comments on this journal. I did not reply to her in any of them, but she chose to come into one of my streaming sessions and bring things up - I kicked her and she came back repeatedly with the subject. Finally, she left but returned under a fake name - first pretending to be curious about a situation this pretend person 'knew nothing about' - then defending peppi in a matter of minutes having suddenly become fully informed on the subject. I have a bit of log from the incident, but I don't see any reason to post it, but I can if it is necessary.

I know that as usual, she has claimed that she is no longer tracing people, but as I have said in comments I will not believe this til I see it in action for a long, long time. What I am about to share with you is not exactly a case of direct tracing, but I am sure you will see the kind of similarities that I do.

By her : http://felineattraction.deviantart.com/#/d4syzsn
( Will replace with a screen shot, if she deletes this post )

My Character : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5938647/

As you can see, the quality of her drawing is not traced. But if you cannot see the similarities between the two, I am sorry but I would have to say you are either blind, or extremely optimistic. Given her past for tracing and copying others, I think it is a safe bet to say that yes, she is copying (or at least trying to immitate) my art/style/character design/whatever you want to call it. Do I care? No, not in particular, if she wants to continue to be passive aggressive and unoriginal, then so be it. But, I thought I would update this post for everyone here, lest you be tricked into believing she is truly changed - she has not.

[amy maree (from livejournal.com)]

you may as well delete that screenshot zodiac, that artwork is gone.. im heeding your advice etc. i edited that furry, because it wasnt meant to look like yours, it was an accident! one i didnt mean to make

and im not constantly lying thankyou very much, and things are going to change. dont you dare assume what i will and will not do, you dont know me well enough.

2014 Update with this user

[pastellemur]

I'm here to report that the user Spike4Evah still traces and is still harassing users over on FurAffinity. There has been a recent journal made by Rynies letting her watchers know that a user has been using her identity to enter into streams to make rude comments to defame and harass Rynies and her friends. It was within this journal the user Spike4Evah outed that it was her that was constantly harassing Rynies and using her identity to do so. She then claimed she'd leave her alone and not do bad things anymore. From this entree I'm sure you can see that she will in fact not stop but progress into a worse state.

The following screenshots were posted by Rynies herself replying to Spike4Evah in Rynies' own journal proving that Spike4Evah will not stop her harassment.

http://puu.sh/aTqmi/77a2d5216b.png

The last image was in reference to her tracing/stealing art from Rynies in order to resell them.

In a quote from Rynies herself:
"lmfao you keep crying for people to leave you alone, but apparently, when I make the same request (multiple times over a 5 year span) it's grounds to threaten and impersonate me. Why is it you can block them for 'harassing' you, but when I do the same to you, it's suddenly unfair?

Every time you show up, the drama bomb goes off, and I'm left scrambling to clean up after the mess you've made and explain to everyone what this is all about. It's embarrassing. I don't like having all this negativity circulating around me. I've been desperately trying to shake you off for years, but it's always, always, ALWAYS the same song and dance: You show up, start trouble, beg for forgiveness and claim you've changed, just to do it all over again. It's tiring, it's exhausting, and to be perfectly honest, it's downright unsettling."

She has harassed many other users and has even been seen posting death threats.
http://sta.sh/0387hwgo4ui

She has even ban evaded on several occasions and argued with FA staff. During the FALeaks scandal an email exchange between her and an Admin were among those leaked. Within on her main account was banned as mentioned in the original post only for her to message another admin with her other account with "Whens the damn thing gunna expire i wanna use my main account again." During the evasion she took that time to harass other users of which reported her for ban evading. Only shortly later a different admin talks with her claiming that another admin "Jumped the gun" That admin tells her to behave now and unbans all her accounts. But warns that if there are any more problems with her that admin says they'll change their mind. It is seen however in later emails and warning that there are several other tracing and journal outing incidents. That was all during 2011.

She is a dedicated person who is obsessed with harassing others and whenever someone tells her to stop she instantly makes a journal or a reply saying that she is the victim in all this. It's because so-and-so doesn't want to speak with them that she'll force them into speaking to her only to tell her to leave them alone. She'll steal the identity of someone, their art, harass the user's friends, and some how she's the victim in all this. Be careful of this user. After 7+ years of this I am 100% sure she wont stop.
