Thanks for your feedback!
- Posts are reviewed and read by our human curators, manually voted.
- You get automatic refund if you have received vote in last 6 hours, taken from time of boosting. If you did, you can always wait a bit and boost after 6 hours from the time you received your last vote from esteemapp.
- You do get your ESTM back as refund, so you can boost again.
- You post have no votes or has 1 vote only when you boosting, that might also cause refund.
In your case, likely scenario is 2 or 4. So if you try boosting again, it will likely work.
How would you want us to improve refund message so that it will be more informative?
To your another point, I just wanted to add this: "free speech" is that nobody can block/remove your post because it resides on blockchain.
Hope it helps, don't hesitate to reach us out on discord for real-time help or feedback!
You have very fast readers my friend.
If you got instant refund that's because of reason 4. likely, that your post wasn't voted by anyone else yet. We are thinking to remove that limit so that there can be more time for curators to evaluate post. Instant refund happens because of these checks, previously we had refund after 24 hours if post somewhat missed out of curation list but we changed it into instant so that it will give user direct feedback and you could always re-try.
