Please add a phone number to your profile to proceed." This happened to me the other day, but for an account which is years old, owns a server with 1200+ members, and... is already logged into Discord on another web browser. I usually use Firefox for chatting, and Chrome for voice chat (since it works better than FF for that). So I usually have FF permanently open, and I log into Discord through Chrome from time to time to voice chat. So this one time I open up Chrome (while, again, I'm simultaneously logged in through FF and can fully use my account), try to log in, and... I get a "verification required" screen. They allegedly think I'm an abusive user so they're preventing me from logging in into Discord without verifying my account, but they're simultaneously letting me fully use my account? How does this make any sense? Any abuse I can do I can already do because I'm already logged in, from exactly the same computer. I wrote to their support asking what's up with this, and they basically told me they don't care, and that I will be required to verify. Of course they won't tell you why they're doing it, because "security". I regularly receive crypto scam DMs on Discord and they're seemingly unable to block those kinds of accounts, but they sure as hell are good at bullying legitimate users like me.
