Hang on, no more weekly rewards or airdrops if I don't verify my phone number? I'm not a bot, I'm a genuine caster but more than anything else, I'm pro anonymity. How is referring a phone number, essential for proving authenticity?

Might I suggest you rethink this to verification with wallet address or nfts for verification of authenticity, allowing those genuine users who wish to remain anonymous alternative means for participation.

I don't think my account needs additional verification. I think if you've got accounts here that dont already have the spam badge and have a history of participation, over several months, why now ask them to prove they are genuine humans? On new accounts, I get you don't want airdrop farming. Certain NFTs could be used as verifiable proof of authenticity (my pfp is a good example of one), POAPs, linking wallet addresses that are over a certain amount of years old. I'm sure there are more anonymous ways. I also don't really understand how linking a phone number cuts down farming and proves authenticity.
