"Hell you could even turn future payouts off if it were necessary to allow such a function. It is better to be correct then to make money." I have the same feeling about this..

It could also be an option you are presented at the beginning of your post, if you choose it to be editable after 1st payout, you will not have future payouts. If you opt it to be non-editable, then you are good with future payouts.
Or something along those lines.
Although would like to hear from a more knowledgeable person what it could mean for the platform.
