I am not sure existence of an email address proves a genuine individual or protects from pranking or misuse. If a library needs to prove there is a real person who is not already registered, or banned, or from another country, they would need more than an email address. Our staff see the online registration attempt and contact the person for ID verification. So, library set preference for whether email is required or not. For us, phone number required is more important.
If you enable the verification step for self registration (and imo you should always do that), you need an email address. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
