@sflaherty Ok, thank you for the clarification. You are obviously very knowledgeable and helpful within the community. So, thank you very much for your help. I will go ahead and take a look at that appeals channel. Aside from that, and I will go look through FAQ and guide or what not to try and seek an answer, but perhaps you may be able to help me out with this too...

I had some steem dollars. I was looking for the quickest and easiest way to convert my steem dollars to steem so then I can Power Up. I went ahead and selected the Option "Convert to Steem" so my conversions that were pending appeared in the order that I converted them. (I saw the notice saying that the process will take 3.5 days) so for like a day or maybe two my steem dollars appeared pending, however they are not there anymore, nor do I see the increase of my Steem balance. Did I just lose my steem dollars, or does it just take a few days for it to appear in steem balance. The reason i'm kinda afraid now that I lost my steem dollars is because, the little notice also said that I am risking and there is not guarantee on that amount of steem that will result from the conversion. Thanks again!
