I figured I'd chime in over here, as well, since the discussion's going very differently.
I like "make them pay", with the (very large) caveat that I'm talking about "pay" as in "pay for beer", not as in "pay for your crimes".
I think it's possible to, say, modify the system so that if you're using Plot Points to step on somebody else's niche, it costs extra. Preferably a lot extra, as in it's rarely an attractive option. If they spent the same amount of points to, say, help that other PC solve the challenge (which is better as far as spotlight and niche protection go), they'd get more more "oomph" for the cost.
I guess part of the issue is that while I'm saying "charge em", I'm really talking about fixing the rule.
As a firm and fast rule, punishing a player in-game for anything, even something that bugs me, is something I'm so firmly against that it's hard for me to not use Eric's grandma-unfriendly words in condemning it.
