Poloniex studied source code submitted by Sasha many years ago and found backdoors that permitted them to make any change they like on the code without need for community voting.
Source please.
It is evident from using the so called dex, that pairings can be switched on and off arbitrarily by a third party and they can also implement banner ads on the dex. Both these things require access and manipulation of source code by a central authority.
This old post is maybe a joke, but it makes some sense after all:

I doubt this topic came from poloniex staff they will not risk there reputation to make an official statement from anonymous account on bitcointalk
beside as some members replied on that topic ** Poloniex has never made any public statement on why they decided not to list a coin/token** , MarquiseMuseum for how long you are involved in crypto, i think you wasn't there at time where Poloniex were king of exchanges and insane pump and dump.... good old daysThe reason why poloniex refused to list waves because sasha had 2 or 3 tokens listed on it.
