How is this possible?

Heya everyone

I saw this when browsing though the forum a few minutes ago.

The forum balance for this user is negative. I was just thinking to myself, how is this possible?

As far as I know, you can't withdraw more satoshis than you have in your forum balance, so this definitely peeked my curiosity 

Any thoughts or ideas on possible reasons for this would be appreciated, just to feed my curiosity.

PS This is not my account, I just took a screenshot of the account when browsing the forum

Haha, i saw this one aswell. Don't know how that dude did it, but it's hella weird and funny.

Maybe owes someone money from a loan

I think that if the quality of the post that you posted is useless this will be deleted and the amount that you get from that will be deducted as well.

This will prevent spams and abusers of forum, especially those responses that are useless and not helpful with such topics.

it might possibly be spam. He maybe cashed the balance and then his post got flagged

Hiya!

@xtinepink more or less explained it: so, if a topic/post you made got deleted, the amount you earned from it was also deducted from your balance.

When a balance is in red, what that user earns next from ppp will be used to repay the negative balance and only once that "debt" is paid, the available forum balance will go to positive again.

This has been implemented as a way of preventing ppp abuse.
