I think they may have a mess of a system behind the scenes, they do like adding coins weekly, and threatening to remove some.  I agree with the sentiment, they'd rather add a bunch of new coins, than help existing ones.

The system is far from a mess; it was designed with integrity and auditability in mind.  A design decision was made early to make symbols immutable because they are suppose to be.  Which means we have to do hours of work to ensure all security and integrity checks passes before we can turn anything back on.  As I explained to a couple people that have asked, it has become too costly to do this type of work just to delist a coin a couple weeks later.  If interest in the coin picks up and it stops getting flagged weekly due to low volume, I'd be more inclined to revisit this.

But by continually flagging it, don't you think you are helping to cause the low volume.  If I was a new investor and wanted to buy some XWC, I wouldn't buy it on Bittrex...I'd go buy it on Cryptsy.  Let's not forget that when MintPal went down in flames XWC was getting 10-12 BTC/day trading volume.  What if Bittrex got behind XWC and supported it instead of continually driving people away with the threat of delisting.  I would love to see Bittrex be the new home of XWC, but it's not going to happen with your current strategy.
