I guess it's a different time and it also depends on who's your target audience. Some people go crazy if you ask for their email address. Phone numbers and calling is a big no-no.
- mnd999 4y agoPhone number is an excellent tracking identifier across services. Even better than email, which is why the data hoarders want it.
- mjevans 4y agoI'm one of those radical militants who refuses to give up any means of direct contact... However for a small scale thing I'd gladly go visit at a face to face meetup to fulfill this type of validation.
- shaburn 4y agoWhat if they came to you. What is the imputed value of that network connection relative to cost...?

- mjevans 4y agoSomeone that far away shouldn't want my direct contact information to join a group. However there is a medium / large organization case, where each area has local 'chapters' or some other term for a small fragment of the larger group. In that case the local leaders each operate as a small group for their areas.
