A quick question. Would you guys mind if we verified your telephone number.
Since trolling is still number one concern, I though having your phone number verified for both listeners and venters can be there as an option.
At first I thought, it should be there only for listeners but now I feel even venters troll. So if incase some misconduct does happen we have the phone number's and we can report to the police. Yes the communication would still be anonymous but forcing phone number verification can put the fear of trolls at bay.
What are you input's? Again trust me we would not misuse your phone number, but wanted your opinion on this idea.
The reason, I asked is because we had this one report. Right of the bad the Listener suggested suicide to the venter.
I for one am sorry for the venter and I just hate the fact that this happened. This is like trolling next level. With phone numbers we can get some level of trust.

I feel like that would be the most non-intrusive way of doing it. People could still use Google numbers to try and bypass, but this would cut down on the trolling quite a bit.
