What prevents a user from offering tips in Mahalo Answers and then not paying out after information is found?

I'll admit that I haven't dug very far to find the answer to this on my own. What would prevent me from just loading all of my questions with large tips and then reading through the answers and then moving on without selecting the best answer?
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If an asker does not pick a best answer w/i 3 days, it is up to the community to vote for the best answer. After a 2 day voting period, the one with the most votes wins! An asker can resend the tip prior to the 3 days, if they feel they have not/are not going to get a good answer, and a note on their profile will state the did not pay out as promised.

I would imagine a few days maybe 5

so what would be an appropriate amount of time to wait before assuming that a person is not going to be paying out on their tip?

Rescinded tips will be recorded and displayed on a user's profile. Users will be able to avoid users with bad reputations.

Users that make a habit of unfairly rescinding tips will be banned.
