I think what he's saying is that Poloniex has been a great supporter of the Monero community. By implementing their policy change with an obnoxious and customer-hostile two-day notices (where people who happen not to be online every day are not forced to give up their information or have their coins stolen) they just told the Monero community go fuck ourselves. Without even so much as an explanation other than "Hey guys, good news, you can trade on margin and pay more commissions now!"
Compliance is perfectly fine, and to be expected. Giving your biggest customer base the finger with a two-day notice is not.
yes, thank you for saying what i could not formulate myself, especially the bold part.
i too have a verified bitstamp account and i am fine with it. however, implementing this kind of identification rules in such an unprofessional way just seems desperate and unpredictable. Monero community is very sensible with this kind of things, so i would have expected them to respect this and act accordingly transparent/fair
