We wipe votes and messages posted on pending articles in order to give newly posted articles a fresh start.

If a member posts a message then deletes it we remove the points, and if we ever need to do a reputation recalc then when we add points for posted messages we don't count deleted messages. This also counts for when a message you post gets voted off the island. It just disappears.

However, if a message is removed as part of the article approval process then it, unfortunately, falls into the same bucket. I guess what we could do is mark the message as "suspended" (meaning it won't appear) and then in rep recalcs add points for suspended message - though this seems like it's bending logic a little.

Votes are another issue: we remove votes on pending articles for the same reason but don't have the concept of a suspended vote. It's there or it's not. Hence, having a "it was there but it's no longer visible" status would require some major reworking.

I'm trying to find a good balance in these things but these odd cases brought about by odd requirements can add serious complexity. I personally don't care if I lose a few points here or there because as an above-gold level member I already have a ton and I'm not approving or commenting articles for points (since I get most of my points from articles and answers) - I'm doing it to help others.

I know this isn't exactly motivating to others, though so I'll keep thinking.
cheers,
