Hi @Kurtbeil,
I think it's a small platform software problem. A few months ago a friend had to withdraw all his steem power to pay medical debts and found the situation that the last withdrawal froze the account, just like it happened to @free2play. In his case he had more than a month without being able to use his account until he requested the help to solve it, for which he made a generous donation of 20 steem.

I think the platform should always force the minimum necessary so that the account can be kept active. It is an important suggestion, because not everyone knows what to do in this situation.

Reestemed to help disseminate information.

have a nice day!
