Apparently, IMDB now requires that have your phone number/credit-card details stored on their servers, if you wish the honour of having a user account on their site.
Not a problem, though. It didn't take me long to find the "Delete Account" link.

Strange.
I still have my account logged in, and they have never asked of (or received) such info. Email only, I think.

The request demand popped up when I clicked the star-bar thingy to "me too!" that I enjoyed a movie.
I'm quite sure that I can live without membership to a movie site, and I'm even more sure that such a site deserves absolutely no private information of mine at all.
I imagine that they'll eventually be revealed as yet another of the sites that gets black-shirt money from the NSA.

Nope, just tried that. Found a Movie Herself enjoyed (Paddington last year) and clicked "9/10 *" and it accepted it without problem or pop-up.
Are you sure it's not something nasty in your system?

The only thing nasty in my system is the nut that holds the mouse.
It's a new demand (wasn't implemented a couple of days ago), so it might not be rolled out in the UK, yet -- or you might have registered with a social-network thingy, and that's given them all your private details already.

That's more of a reason to worry, don't you think? You might already have your credit card details associated with the account.

Not usually - I always use your CC details.

You too?
That's a remarkable co-incidence.

Soon, it would be required to have a credit card in order to be 18+ otherwise, you should revoke your membership on this planet.

In the US it is effectively already that way. It is hard to get credit if you don't have any and the easiest way to get credit is to have a credit card. I think that by the day my first semester of college began I had already received four or five offers.
Not saying it is right, just seems the way it is.

Careful; you're dating yourself. Because some of our peers were elephanting morons with CCs the nanny state's been booting them off campus for the last few years.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Eh, I was an elephanting moron with my first CC as well. Fortunately I had decent parents who did their best to educate me and made sure that I set the limit for $500 and that I kept pushing back every time the company tried to raise it.
Needless to say it was not used just for emergencies. I did max it out and I did end up having to pay it off. I wrecked my credit and took me years to rebuild it to where it is now. A lesson I won't soon forget.

Here I'm a user but not a registered one... some times I've wanted to vote for a film... at much this "want to vote" urge disappears after a minute or two...
Not a big issue then, but it still is a good source of information.

It's handy for me, because I never remember names, and that is so annoying!
I don't need to be a member, though -- I get nothing out of it, and they get my credit card details?

I have my GF, she functions perfectly well even without an Internet connection. How does she do that or where does she stores all that infos I don't know (but I have some clues i.e. the movement coordination sector).

She usually uses mine  luckily she doesn't spend much. Also it isn't a real credit card, more like a prepaid card with an IBAN.
And the one who spends more is me

Same here, usually I like to know about trivia, about the votes, trailers...

And I suppose the NSA needs to know who is looking up movies about people who say bad things about US politicians.
Hell, we're in Europe. Finding someone who's got something good to say about a US politician requires a minor miracle.

Oh, for the days when men were real men, women were real women, and every function had one (and only one) exit!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
