My anecdote, and many others, is arbitrary KYC fails with no recourse even when using data that passed KYC at other places.

This seems to be an issue for the industry. Sounds legal?

Either way, it's ridiculous. If they can fix it, they should. But I've worked in industries where there are similar policies against approaching the line of coaching people around compliance. Dumb, but it wasn't our choice. Maybe it's a similar issue?

Maybe. They also said they "cannot reverse it", which strikes me as a little serious.

Does that mean that even if I were to adjust my application they can just never accept it in perpetuity?

I wonder if it's automated? They should definitely address that problem area. That's really why I tagged him because I suspected this is a broad issue. I've experienced it with other services and it sucks ass. Definitely something that can be improved.

They don't want to tell us the rules because if we are identity thieves it makes our job easier. That is why if you get blocked it is a brick wall of "it will not be possible to create an account at this time."

From what little I can gather I think if you use an email alias or protonmail you get blocked. They flag your entire identity when you fail so you cannot go back and try again with an OG gmail or some other standard email and get approved.

I do not know if there is a timeout where you can get an account later or how long that timeout would be.

I do know that even if jack showed up in the thread guaranteeing me an account, I care more about not doxxing this nym than getting a strike account.
