The membership test (only in Chinese) is an interesting feature unique to Bilibili.
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2024 5:09 am
To have your account running, you must go through a series of 40 questions covering various topics, which you can take as soon as you finish your registration.
Without passing the test, you won’t be able to do things such as add comments, interact with other users, or collect user experience points.
This vigorous process of testing and vetting means the community consists of credible members—setting a high standard and a level of expectation.
There’s no way around the test either.
Well, unless you enter a special invitation code, which you probably don’t have.
This part will be hard for you if you don’t read Chinese (you might need a indian whatsapp number Chinese-speaking friend or colleague to assist you).
A question on Bilibili's test.
The questions are about Bilibili culture. The example question above reads: “What is a full English name for ‘UP主’: A) uploader; B) download?”
Some questions are more about politeness to ensure users commit to being civil and nice to others on the site.
Anyways, you don’t need to do the pass test as you can access all the videos, and publish videos without it.
Account Verification on Bilibili
First, you need to log in to your account here.
Bilibili, unlike other platforms, allows everyone (not just Chinese nationals) to verify their accounts.
Similar to Douyin, Bilibili’s verification starts with Real Name Verification (实名认证), which means you must upload a photo of your ID to the platform.
Here’s what you can use:
Mainland China ID card.
Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents.
Taiwan Resident Pass.
Passport (issued in China).
Permanent residence permit for foreigners.
Identification issued by other countries or regions.
(For one of our projects, we verified an account with a Norwegian driving license.)
But that’s not all.
And to prove you’re the person in the photo, you must submit a picture of yourself holding your ID in front of you.
Verification photo example
The identity verification process will also require your phone number (the one you used for registration). Hopefully, within 24 hours after submission, the process will be completed.
However, real name verification will not give you the verified user “V” badge.
It is your first step to get the “V”, but more importantly, it protects the platform and other users from fraud, and it also gives you a couple of other benefits:
Live-streaming enabled.
Collecting experience points that lead to account upgrades.
Opening of a “Shell (贝壳)” account (more on Bilibili currencies below).
Joining Bilibili’s Discipline Management Committee—That’s another name for community moderators, where you can gain up to 20 B coins/month and other rewards.
There are additional steps for influencers, companies, and organizations who want to increase their credibility and ensure they are distinguishable from possible copycats.
Either way, verification is required for everyone.
