Scam exchange. It deactivated my account without any reason. No email notification, nothing. Just boom, your account is deactivated.
This is an extremely import thing. Please expound on what happened.
if it has to do with IP address, or KYC or lots of trading or whatever it doesn't matter. What does matter is that this kind of thing should not happen. This is people's money we're dealing with here.

And, THIS is why I am against centralized exchanges, especially ones that have a strict KYC policy. KYC is nothing more than the old banking and government system of controlling your money.
"We are forcing you to give us all your information in order for you to work with your own money.
We do this to 'protect' everyone from all the 'bad guys.'
If you do not give us whatever information we ask you for WHEN we ask you for it? Your money is then ours."
PEOPLE! Do NOT support and use these kinds of exchanges. This is NOT what CRYPTOcurrency is all about.
If you are not holding your OWN funds in your OWN wallet, and are using an exchange that can just shut down your account for whatever reason they deem necessary, then you are
NOT SAFE.
If you do what I said above?
You will be stolen from and given whatever reason the exchange wants to give you (or will lose funds when the exchange gets hacked),
and will have lost out on Your Own Money.
EDIT:
Just went to their site and found this...
