It needs to go negative so at least they will pay back what they technically stole. Plus theres settable amounts for having a post deleted, so you could in fact punish users for writing something that got deleted, so making them work it back is kind of ideal.

The best solution for this (which I did on vbplaza) was turn off any payment for posting. Period.

Instead I gave credits for replies and views in people threads. This encourages people to post Threads that will be of interest, since they get paid everytime it is viewed or replied to.
