Negative reinforcement? However, I'm not certain.

It's called, "You're taking it away because you want me to stop? Nice try, but that's not gonna happen."  :smileshake:

Negative reinforcement.

Yeah it was negative reinforcement. At first I thought it was tank who had the right answer because I was confused earlier when I wrote this. So I thought the confusion was caused by something crazy I never heard before. But after further looking, it turns out it's negative reinforcement. Thanks everyone!
