The fact that it only affects new accounts is even more reason to fix it. These are not restrictions, these are annoyances.
I could sit here and argue, but honestly I am not going to waste any more of my time on this site. I have information and logs that proves that Mtgox is flat out lying about their reasons for stopping withdrawals. But since I already got my money, I have no personal reason to be on here anymore, so I guess that makes it "Good luck" instead? Guess y'all will learn the hard way. No wonder Bitcoin is shit, as this forum is operated like someone would operate it if they were running a ponzi scheme, subduing its members voices as much as possible.
