It has been since HF19 that Poloniex has "Temporarily Disabled" STEEM transfers without any explanation of the problem to the community.
This has a negative impact on the value of STEEM at the worst possible time, (HF19 + EOS), I know many people who would be more than grateful to help out the engineers at Poloniex get their node in order.
I think it's important that we get some correspondent from Poloniex to updates us on Steem in times like this.
I'll upvote any posts that help speed this up!
