Having a manure pile or a mass-deletion of posts will not achieve anything to discourage people from posting just for the sake of getting a big score. When posts are shifted or deleted the score remains as-is, unless the forum software was altered to take this into account of course and that may not be desirable and since this forum is commercial software, it might not even be legal though I haven't read the licence for UBB so I am not sure on that last one.
