I'm not going to hand out my phone number to internet services, I get enough phone spam already.

Sorry :)

You should be apologizing to yourself. This stance, which I'm sure you see as reasonable (it's not), is directly causing you a problem, a problem that you're here asking for help to resolve (but it's already been flagged). You're free not to get an email address, but you're also the one rate limited to 5/day, so it seems the ball is in your court.

The idiom that comes to mind is "cutting off your nose to spite your face."

    I'm sorry, I posted some questions about Hackernews, on Hackernews.

    I do not see how I should suddenly become customer to some unrelated external services which could literally cause my phone to ring all day just in order to be entitled to ask some questions?

    It seems you're escalating the tone here, which I do not intend to participate in.

      But these aren't questions for the community, these are questions for the admins that actually run this place, and there's little to no guarantee they'd even see this post, whereas an email to them would get seen by them. Everyone else here has about as much power as you do to change your account to allow you to comment more.

      If you believe your phone is going to ring all day because you have an email address, I'm not sure anyone here can help you. You may need a refresher on how phones work.
