How to set only delete permision in a directory and theirs subdirectories.

Hi all! I can't use kernel quota module and I would like implement a substitute for it. My idea is run a 'du' every night that it counts the amount of disk space that every user has in his own home. The matter is, how can I prevent users from using more disk space than the allowed by their quota?.
