That doesn't sound right, I've cancelled commissions before and I always got my EVs back.
I see no reason what so ever why idea suggestions should be any different.
Admins, fix your mess please.
All commissions I canceled, I got my EV back, so it's a strange thing
hmm ok
Why don't you tell administrators about it? Maybe it is just program mistake. Even if it is not they will give you more correct answer than anyone .
I should probably check to see if I have any idea request EV’s lost somewhere too, lol.
