Even though an anime or manga list may be private, random selections from (and updates to) that list still show on a user's public profile page. Of course for a lot of people an information leak like this is trivial. However, people keep their lists private for different reasons, and in some cases they may not wish random selections or updates to show either. At the moment, 3rd parties can more or less "reverse engineer" a private list by simply visiting the profile enough times. |

Yeah I've always thought it's stupid that your list is "private" but people can still see the random anime generated on your profile. It should be removed. |

Actually, third parties that really want to read your list can just use the API. Here's your "private" list: http://myanimelist.net/malappinfo.php?u=thoguht&status=all&type=manga |

Yes, I support this. MAL needs better privacy and security. |

Ehh.... it's the internet I mean, I don't think everyone will target your anime list for any real reason. But have at it mates |
