You thought wrong. Everyone is trying to equate a settlement agreement, which has not been approved by the court, in two states to mean it is universally applicable. Uber can still deactivate you for the reasons specified in its listed deactivation policy.

If you have joined UberPeople.net because your Uber account was hacked, you've likely been taken in by a scam. Please read this before starting a thread on this subject.

I would opt out of uber X if you have an expensive car. It's difficult, but it's possible. If you can't opt out in your market, than you know what you're getting into when you log in and you do have a quasi obligation to accept rides (otherwise log off).
Otherwise, if you're going to not accept rides and cancel others, I can see why Uber might not think you're a good partner. I'm not taking their side, but I can see where they're coming from.
I know people are going to flame me for what I wrote because they're going to say they are an independent contractor and have every right to pick and choose their rides. And that may be true, but then Uber has every right to deactivate you (at will employment) if you are causing an issue for their customers (not accepting rides makes longer wait times and canceling rides leads to irate customers).
If the system isn't mutually beneficial, then just don't log on.

The thing is I stopped canceling rides when they emailed me and told me I can be deactivated for doing so. The last time I canceled a ride is because the person was a no show. I would think it's a little unfair for uber to deactivate someone based on the fact they canceled a ride because the person was a no show and the driver made attempts to contact the rider before cancelling.I would opt out of uber X if you have an expensive car.

Per Ubers policy I can't be deactivated for not accepting rides. And the reason they deactivated was for this reason.
