I swear who in their right minds would like to call this "Meow the secret boy"
It's universally known as Meow: The Secret Boy. It appears with that title on Viki / Hancinema / AsianWiki / DramaWiki / Soompi and many other sites. Please stop requesting a name change on this. Thanks.
Is it not enough that we verified our email to make sure we are "humans" and are not gonna abuse this site? I'm…
@naccu, pretty much, if you feel comfortable verifying your account, go for it. If not, don't sweat it. If you're an older, active user on the site, then we will use other means to verify your account.
Will it affect my MDL account in any kind of way if I don't? I'm not comfortable with putting down my number on…
It won't affect your MDL account in its current form. We do plan on rolling out some new features in 2020 that will give verified users more overall 'abilities' on the site. However, non-verified users will always be able to use the site, add dramas to their lists, write reviews, comment, etc. The features we have at the moment will always be there. In addition, any non-social features added in the future, will also work for non-verified accounts.
Edit: In addition, we will have other means of verification in the future.
We do understand the safety concerns some users may have, and so we want to clarify a few things.
We do not store phone numbers! Instead, what is stored is a highly secure hash algorithm known as a 'cryptographic hash.' This is done to the extent that anyone looking at this hash won't be able to recognize it as a phone number or much else for that matter. However, our system will be able to recognize what it is and be able to prevent spammers from using one number to 'verify' multiple accounts.
In regards to being sent text messages, besides the initial text containing the verification code, no other messages will be sent. This means that there will be no spam messages nor targeted messages.
