It's a bug that happens when someone bets / uses credits, then after they use the credits the posts / threads they created get removed.

The post being deleted tells the Newpoints (that's the plugin being used) to remove -1 (or -3 if it's a thread) from a profile. The Newpoints plugin sees that there are less points than it has to remove. (I'm really bad at explaining)

For example. Let's say I had 2 credits because I donated all of them to @MyNameJeff or someone. If one of my threads were to be deleted, the Newpoints plugin would automatically think "okay. I need to remove 3 NSP from Zeniths profile. But oh look. He only has 2 NSP"

If there wasn't - numbers added, there would be an underflow which would give the user either an "error", or an infinite amount of Newpoints.

So why not just have a check for 0 nsp??

Idk yell at the Creator
I think it's because the Newpoints plugin is pretty simple, and something like 1-2= -1. I don't think the guy ever made a "stop at 0" patch since there have been other sites with the same issue.

Well it's one of two things then (obviously)
1. He's too lazy to fix (kind of doubt this, especially if a lot of people use this plugin)
2. There's some more complex issues at hand with this specific error. You'd think he'd at least document it the fucker.

I like his answer!

I swear this has cropped up a few times. I could be wrong.

We don't tend to manually make people have negative NSP - I promise! xD
