I just visited the poloniex site, and indeed I was called a "legacy accout". So to solve it i gave them my name, address, passport copy, full face photo, and penis length and they verified me within 2 minutes. Discovered that I had $2 with them that I will now start trading.
Just for info, they do not allow withdrawals of fiat currency and they say their steem wallet is broken.
Well said, also.
