Yesterday they approved my enhanced account finally so I could withdrew funds (after two weeks). Will not use them never again, at least not for years to come.
I was very aggressive. I fighted them where I thought it can hurt them most. Social media (especially twitter), bitcoin local groups, podcast chats. Always trying to use my real name, hopping so they can identify me. Its the most effective way for them to lose money, if their customers start leaving or you are helping new ones to go to alternatives. For the fact, I know at least few 10s if not hundred users withdrawn money because of my activities. They lost more opportunity money than they could ever stole from me. I also contacted top bittrex people on their linkedin accounts (had to buy pro version for that) and send them some personal messages (so they feel at least a little uncomfortable if not threatened).
This tactics worked before from me. I got money from Cryptsy as I did similar thing early enough while they still cared enough for losing money and bad reputation.
Now. Here the story will not end for me like it did with cryptsy and we know how that one ended. What really pisses me off, is that they stole money from bunch of people from third world countries like Iran, India, Pakistan.... That happened a while ago and nobody talked much about it. I traveled the world enough and for a fact know most of those people live already a hard life with their oppressive governments. And lots of them were now robbed just like that. While at the same time they seem to put zero effort to resolve situation, but rather continue adding new trading pairs and getting new users into trap.

Effective ways to turn away new customers and making existing ones leave is showing them links to bittrex latest twitts (where people complain massively), bitcointalk threads like this one, active petitions and youtube videos.
One very effective punchline is to point out they have new 200.000+ unresolved support tickets opened in the last month only. I have created additional ticket in the timespan of three days and number grew for over 25k.. Very visal screenshot to show to people. New people know nothing about mt.gox and cryptsy so it helps you point them there also.
thank you
