I got a small deposit (100) in yesterday at Bitstamp and now they want me to answer 5 questions.

100E? Is this for real? I'm not gonna send money to Bitstamp again. Any fiat will go through Bitfinex for now, until better options arise. Too many reports of this. I have become too fearful that they will freeze my funds to keep money there. What if they don't like my answers? What if they try to say my coins are from SR or something?
Yes, what is going on with Bitstamp lately? I have been using them for over a year and they recently blocked Bitcoin withdrawals in my account without notifying me, I asked them to allow the withdrawal of Bitcoins again and they tell me this:
Please provide a high resolution image of yourself holding your ID (the same ID used for your account verification) and "[date of submission] For Bitstamp LIMITED only" written on a piece of paper.
Attach the document in a reply to this ticket, so we can check your identity and proceed with your request.
Are they joking? I am just a simple trader, not a criminal. After Gox, where I luckily got out in December, now this again.
