@daftcyborg users automatically watch topics they create. So yes that notification option does what you want.
Is it possible to force new users to register by their phone numbers?!

Tricky, but not impossible...
You'd need:
- a plugin to add a phone # field to the registration step
- upon registration, send SMS or otherwise manually verify the phone number
- upon verification, add user to a user group that has posting access to your categories, etc.

Email confirmation is a method for confirming user's email! Emails should be valid for future operations such as: mail notifications, newsletters, replying to posts from email, etc.
Phone verification make the process of confirming account stronger. It may also be a replacement for (re)Captcha.
Now, I was thinking about storing numbers such as Telegram, Viber and Whatsapp: It can be a method to have valid users! Some people make fake accounts for trolling. This can stop them a little! They should purchase more SIM cards to create more accounts

They should purchase more SIM cards to create more accounts
In some countries its actually really easy to get ahold of a SIM card. I'm from Malaysia and when I go there I can get a throwaway SIM card from any convenience store in about 10 minutes for a couple bucks
EDIT: Meanwhile in Canada.... :rage1:

They're free in the UK, but need an initial top up to activate, £1 would do this on some networks.
