Same here! I think most languages use double-negative sentences. At least all Romance languages do.
In Catalan you would write:
No ho facis
mai més.
Neg. Pos. Neg.
No = don't.
Mai més = ever again. Actually "mai" means "never". So the literal translation would be: never again. That makes two negatives.
