Discord Identity and Phonenumber

[Flemmi93]

Hello,

I have been using the Paradox Community Discord for a while now but all the sudden it ask of me to veryfiy my identity with my phone number to messages. I would like a solution that doesn't involve giving my phone number just cause.

does anyone know why this is happening and why now?

I am wondering the same thing, i'm on it for months and today I sudenly got this question.

I REALY WANT TO KNOW WHY.

I do not understand the value of phone verfication beside the fact that you block people that don't have access a mobile phone or are on a phone network that does not support SMS.

As far as i know, there is no official Paradox discord. So you should check this with the admins of that discord...

I'm not familiar with the server in question, but...

It sounds like the admin set the server's verification level to require all members to verify their phone number with Discord before being allowed to post on the server. It's one of the five verification levels that an admin can use to protect his/her server and also the strictest.

It's mainly used to prevent bots, spammers, and trolls from taking over a server. Like I said, I don't know anything about the server in question, but it might be having a problem with one or more of these.

I hope this was helpful.
