I am aware that the Discord has been getting a lot of spam lately but I don’t think people who want to chat in it should have to hand over their private data (phone number) to Discord to chat. Could the level please be lowered. Also FYI for the mods when you set the level to max no one can DM you to tell you it’s affecting them because we’re basically shadow banned from the server even though we’re already in it.

For anyone finding this thread the Discord settings have been reduced again. So a phone number is no longer required to participate.
