Register using phone number

[Max]

Current xenforo exclusively built around email address as the exclusive registration method.
So we can not even create a custom addon and enable registering using only the phone number.

Big potion of the new generation signup to social media using only phone number. they don't have an email. But even with social media connect option they can not sign in to xenforo.

When you use facebook connect with a FB account created only with a phone number, xenforo ask for the email address.
And they will not be bothered to create an email just to signup to your forum.

If you are serious about your forum, SMS gateway is no big deal. It will keep 99% of the spammers away and people start to value their account coz they can not create unlimited accounts using only disposable email.
If xenforo developers can't add this full phone registration feature, at least give a method to add phone as an unique registration method so we can create a custom addon using it.

can one registered user find out another user's email?

some guys have big forums, have important vip users with million dollars in the accounts,
of course
they know much each user has,
they know someone can get sms on their behafl
they know their phone numbers could be used for bad purposes by dorum admin, who is evil
seems many people take it seriously!
usually who writes nonsense & suffering from mania of persecution among those who are not needed by anyone!
it's not 1999, wake up! world changes very fast!

I beg your pardon! For not beeing SUPER ADMIN as you are!
A lot of us here human beeing & we don't use someone's privacy for our own evil purposes. we do only: improve forum, notify users!
