you won't have to do it for that person again.

How may repeat offenders do we have? It seems to me that if someone is so concerned about his XP that he tries to remove content to avoid downvotes, then he'll probably learn pretty quickly that that approach doesn't work. Especially when the content just reappears.

You can frame it as saving-work-for-the-editors, but it is still a punishment. And it would significantly impact the ease of posting for those so sanctioned. Downvotes and comments about the immaturity and ineffectuality of content removal are likely to go a lot further.

If we really do have a significant number of people who do this repeatedly, then maybe it would be worth implementing. But then there should also be some way of tracking how many times they did it because removing a privilege like that shouldn't be done until there are at least three strikes (and by that I mean incidents, not nodes.) Also, I'd think this sort of power would properly reside with the gods only, not the editors.

I really don't think this is a good idea in any case though.
