I went over to @booster's profile before I bid last night to make sure I was following the bot's rules.
I was super excited to try the @booster bidbot last night because according to bottrackers they have a pre-vote club. The pre-vote club is supposed to add extra votes to your post in addition to the one that @booster is to provide. Those extra votes help propel your post into the trending.

As I had written my review of @sneaky-ninja yesterday morning and it already had some good organic upvotes; I wanted to boost it onto trending to get the word out about my Royal Bot Review series. I submitted my bid at 1 AM and went to bed excited that my post that was less than 24 hours old and was going to go trending.

I woke up this morning excited to see my post get boosted by @booster …. Then I saw this message:

I was quiet disappointed!
So I visited the @booster site to see why my post wasn't accepted and why it took so long for them to return my SBD.
Here is the link to their what is acceptable post:
https://steemit.com/booster-update/@booster/booster-is-back-need-an-upvote-booster-is-loaded-longform-info-and-howto

Here is the information on their return policy from the link above.

The Most accurate & Advanced return-policy
Since day one customer experience has been the most important to design for. We want 100% satisfied customers. If we cannot deliver an upvote, booster will automatically issue a refund.

Well this isn't TRUE, it took over 5 hours to refund a bid even though there were 2 vote rounds between when I submitted it and it was denied in which many people were upvoted.

Then I was thinking maybe they have some other policy I was breaking?? So I kept reading.

Avoid using BOOSTER for "ShitPosts" of no value to anyone - Booster HAS a Blacklist
As STEEM & GOLOS grows, Quality of Content is more and more important. We have been very liberal in how our customers use BOOSTER. However, we reserve the rights to at any time reverse the transaction and remove upvotes on posts that bring no value to anyone whatsoever. Example is gambling addicts that will write 10-20 shitposts per day (copy/paste images and write a little paragraph of text that nobody reads) trying to "get something for almost nothing" by voting for these totally useless posts with small to large amounts of coins. It is better to keep the quality high and the quantity low if you want to be really successful on STEEM with your blog.

As my post didn’t break the posted rules they asked people to follow. I was confused why my hours old post wasn't accepted, so I went over to their steemd site and took a look at what was being upvoted by @booster.

I read the log between when I bid and when my SBD was returned. I found that @booster loves to upvote bots and spam accounts! Here is block level proof of 8 different posts between my bid and the return: picture of post, steemd address where post can be found and also a direct link to where @booster upvoted it.

The only one of those that was maybe generated by a human is the @virgowattoo The rest are all spam bots with no original content.

Your website says:

Avoid using BOOSTER for "ShitPosts" of no value to anyone

Example is gambling addicts that will write 10-20 shitposts per day (copy/paste images and write a little paragraph of text that nobody reads) trying to "get something for almost nothing" by voting for these totally useless posts with small to large amounts of coins

Apparently these spam bot posts, that no one reads, have more value than original content posted by humans...

Here are some questions I would love the @booster team to answer:

1. Why don't you upvote people with original content?

2. Why do you have a 5 hour or greater return policy, when you advertise an immediate refund?

3. Why was my less than day old article rejected?

4. What didn't you like about my bot review?

5. Why do you upvote bots which clearly posted computer generated SHITPOST? ( as defined by you)

6. Is your bidbot rigged for only your friends and their bots?

Customers and sponsors you should know this team doesn't actually care about quality posts or comments only the $.
