    Well, the day it asks me for ID/face scan is the day I delete my account. Their days are numbered.

    You think they'll let you access the account settings to delete the account without scanning your face first?

    If they don't they would open the door to people committing spam or abuse intentionally to receive a suspension as the next best thing. I know I'll do it if they don't let me delete my account.

    They won't let you send messages without finishing verification

    Then I'll email their support and be rude to them until they get fed up. I'm sure I can be nasty enough in some way to get them to suspend me no matter how bad they want me.

    Just log in with a third party client where people in the Issues are complaining about being banned. Or use your Discord token and spam their API with illegal calls until they ban your account
