let me guess, your account has a decent sized balance. 

[Bit_Happy]

Sorry, let me guess your balance was > $100* in either cash or BTC?

*I'm not sure I got the number right, but one of these threads has an IRC snippet, and they are doing "extra security" (delays) for accounts over $100(?) USD and/or BTC  value.
I'm sure you will update here, I will too if I see that thread.

EDIT:

let me guess, your account has a decent sized balance.  

Let me guess you typed faster than me, d.james. Do you have the link to the thread with more info re: balances? (the IRC quote)

[klaus]

me the same. i think its because of the fact my balance is not 0 BTC / 0 USD$.

The higher the Balance is, the higher is the Problem when some kids with the MtGox-Account-Excel claiming my account. So im fine with it and i give more information.

[YoYa]

Yep, I see how this works....delay the re-entry so that people can't get their shit out fast. Even more determined to leave now.

[Oldminer]

Well yea it would have been > than $100 cash but whats that at todays rates? 5 BTC's? Hardly a fortune..

What annoys me a little is so much time has been wasted. Its only now they have asked me for more than just my email address and old password, after rejecting my claim...they could have asked me for or given me opportunity to provide more info with the initial claim rather than send me this request for further proof > 24 hours later...

Yet, it can be called security; Always leave some doubt as to what is going on.
Hey, those guys have a HUGE incentive to get up and running to make honest money. They do not want to live in fear forever, right?

[mike85123]

My claim was accepted. I have > $100.

[swusc2]

Um I met both >$100 and >100 Bitcoin conditions and I got my account claim verified.

All of a sudden, you're telling me Mt.Gox define what good security is?

They have a huge incentive to make it as awkward as possible for people to make an exchange run so they have some hope of still being standing after it all.

Hey, you are still here and relatively positive == You are qualified to eventually become a Bitcoin (real-world) Multi-Millionaire.  
It's a marathon not a sprint.

No you are clearly misunderstanding what I wrote. The rejection == A security measure.
...or it is, more like what you said.

Yea true and I think its safe to assume my account was one that had its password hacked and account drained. MtGox is hardly going to reactivate my account based on me simply providing a couple of tit-bits of information thats already 'out there'.

[haydent]

just got mine, and ive been accepted

[beeph]

I got rejected too.. the only one who didnt who seems to have money is that swac guy and he's been shilling for gox 24/7 from day 1 so im not exactly shocked..

reversing the ach soon as my bank opens tomorrow.. recommend u all do the same.

if gox wants to convince me otherwise it will take something more than an automated mail.

FYI: They might reverse but it's still a dispute and they can take it away again if you lose, good luck.

[beeph]

I've learned a few things in doing business overseas and money that gets 'lost' or is 'in question' has a funny way of disappearing..  
call your banks, issue reversals, put the ball in THEIR court.. funny how much more responsive they'll be.

I guarantee you 100% this is the prudent move.  Stop listening to what they say.. we've given them the benefit of the doubt, its been lie after lie... dont be fools.

[bitbot]

I got rejected

[ploum]

I got rejected too. Problem is that I already provided the name of the bank account used for deposit and my approximative balance. I have no more informations to provide than that. Maybe I was wrong about my balance? I don't know, I'm not sure at all if I sold all my BTC before the crash or not.

All I can do now, is offering to send them a GPG signed email.

I also don't understand why sending a PDF by postal paper would be a proof of anything at all?

 

Really wondering what's the difference between the rejected and the accepted here. Also, can't MtGox simply assume that those with an email in the DB (like me) are fine ?

[qualia8]

rejected.  negative BTC balance.  so much for that hypothesis.
