Hartwell is correct. The questions you answered correctly had negative tip amounts in the amounts of $-5 and $-6. These are mistakes that have since been rectified in our system and users are now no longer able to tip in negative amounts. We will make sure these Mahalo dollars are returned to your account shortly.

I apologize for the confusion and we will let you know when the Mahalo dollars are accurately returned to your account.

Yes, they are now on the black list. If this happens often, they will be banned.

I guess I'm not following this. Looks like this was decided by votes?

both those pages, the tip is listed as a negative amount. "M$-6" and "M$-5" i don't remember seeing this before.

Doesn't make sense that an asker could make people pay to answer them.

It would be more helpful if we knew the timeline. I'm guessing they both went down like this:

1) asker asked a question and offered a tip
2) you answered
3) asker gave feedback "that';s not online, that's off topic" whatever
4) asker didn't pick a best answer
5) voters picked yours as best answer
6) mahalo awarded you the tip
7) asker said "wait, there was no good answer, i want my tip back"
8) mahalo revered the award

under the current rules, the site seems to favor askers by default. i would suggest a change that involved inspection of the answers by a human before tip money is refunded.
