Development - Upload - Pending - Deleted = -1 credit?

When one uploads a poster, it is then PENDING; are any credits awarded at the time it's still pending?
Or are they awarded when it's APPROVED?

My uploaded poster went from pending to deleted and -1 credit was indicated next to the deleted message.
So is one credit taken away when a pending poster is deleted?

1) When they are approved.

2) A credit is taken away when a poster you have already uploaded and was approved was deleted, not when a poster that was pending was deleted.
