Wow, this is REALLY concerning. I have a fully verified account but closing accounts with no explanation (or notification) is concerning as hell.
your verified account has been closed?

Hello everybody!
I just found out that the exchange has started to block accounts!
Without explaning the reason!

as they are blocked is a fictional account that is long inactive, seldom doing transactions within the site, or a fictitious account so often do negative things, it's in my opinion
I'm done with bittrex as of now, I wonder why they don't ask for any info or explain you the rules clearly when you deposit your bitcoins... 
It really doesn't take a genius to connect the for as to why they started blocking account. They are based in US and I believe polo will be next. Dollars to doughnut and almost with certainty it has to do with SEC, IRS, etc.

What I expect is that users should be allowed to withdraw their funds if they decide not to continue with Bittrex but what I am seeing is that, you are not even allowed to make any withdrawal by virtue of not verifying which means depending on the amount you have there, its either you forget about it or verify. If you then verify to withdraw, then there is no other basis than to continue the use of the their services, But this is a big set back in the crypto-currency world.
it is time to start thinking about decentralized exchanges more seriously.
when exchanges like bittrex which are fully crypto versus crypto start asking for account verification it is the end of cryptocurrency trading in centralized exchanges.
and this is happening while we don't need them for trading cryptocurrencies.

This is really scary! closing account without any explanation is the worst thing any business can do... 
And why not send a fake passport?
How can they identify a person who is far away?
fake passport can be known with something advanced reverse searching, with that, in case you are using stock photos to fake it, they can indicate that easily. How can they identify a person who is far away?
This silence waves a huge red flag! Something is happening and at the first glance it looks very bad. Let's hope all of their coins are still accounted for.
account blocking is very annoying and dangerous especially without the notice can make us confused and ask questions, it could be maybe our mistake when the registration does not use the complete data, certainly many who complain of blocking, hopefully this is not sustainable.
I had withdran all my balance since My account could only withdraw 0.025 btc worth. I suspected there will be new regulation that make me lost. I took out all my balance. Now, I enjoy hitbtc. I hope hitbtc will not apply regulation as bittrex does. if the case has taken place to many users, I think there will be many migration of traders to hitbtc or liqui. Both are best exchangers that I know recently.
Did they already released their offocial statement or whatsoever? Its because i was being asked by my friend what happened to his account, and i was also wondering what are his faults that it leads to that solution. He was very confused and he's worried already since there are no response about his complain why he was being banned by the exchange. 
It's the SEC, they said they would be targeting exchanges to try crash bitcoin so it may never recover. They're also behind a few coins being delisted from Bittrex.
They're a bit butthurt because everything is decentralized and see exchanges as the only way to get control.

I'm not surprised at all that Bittrex made this move,and it is possible that some other exchanges make the same in the near future.I think the reason for this is quite simple,they want to identify users due to possible tax collection,money laundering or some other illegal activity.It seems that the trading on exchanges will no longer be possible completely anonymous,or it will be allowed for very small amounts.
So far no official explanation has been given by Bittrex and many people are waiting. The IRS must have knocked on their doorstep and asked for supporting documents from multiple accounts, that's the only thing I can think of, since Bittrex is US based and there is a very strict control against money laundering and illicit enrichment, at least that's what I've been reading and seen lately. It is no wonder that every exchange (which is not decentralized) is forcing users to check with identities so they do not have future problems with this kind of thing. Bittrex should at least let users withdraw their coins before locking accounts without any explanation or they will lose their good reputation as has happened with Poloniex with its poor support and daily complaints from various users having the same type of problem or even worse.

i can verify that i to got a notice that i needed to enable enhanced verification before i could withdraw from bittrex.
I immediately exchanged whatever funds i still had with them to LTC and withdrew. I was lucky, cause it seems this worked for me.
I will probably not be using them anymore in the future, since i do not want to send images of myself holding my id and utility bill to a US company.

i just checked and i have the same issue! i am going to do the exact same thing too. i already have most of my funds in LTC but i have to sell some other altcoins there also.
where do you migrate to? i have my eye on cryptopia but it is sadly smaller. poloniex is the same too, they also ask for verification
I funded an address i generated with my ledger nano S. I'm not a big fan of holding any funds on exchanges or online wallets to begin with. It just happened that i exchanged some ETH i got for a job a couple weeks ago, so i still had some funds i forgot to withdraw on their exchange.
