Due to Cyberbullying, users will have to Verify their Phones to post in the Forums (by Andres)

UPDATE: This has now gone into effect.

Hi Folks,

Due to the Cyberbullying witnessed in the past few days, and similar incidents in the past, we will soon be requiring users to Verify their Mobile Phone numbers before being allowed to post in the Forums. However, you will not be required to Verify your Phone in order to read the Forums.

This should virtually eliminate any and all instances of Cyberbullying and Trolling, which are usually done via a cloak of anonymity or while I'm offline and can't moderate it. This will also mean that all participants in the Forums will be real people tied to real phone numbers, so that when I ban them and their number, they'll be gone from the Forums for good. This also means the Forums will become a much friendlier place since users won't be able to post anonymously.

I won't extend this requirement to the rest of the site just yet because I know some users have difficulty verifying their phone number, and I wouldn't want them to miss out on finding love because of it (at least not until I feel those issues have been eliminated and everyone has no problems verifying).

So if you haven't already done so, please make sure to verify your phone if you wish to continue posting in the Forums so that when this change goes into effect, you aren't left out.

Thanks!
