Hi,

you may use a simple transformation with a conditional pattern. 
Having a list of rules named rlst:

IN[1]:= rlst = {s1 -> -11, s2 -> 12}

then the following 

IN[2]:= rlst2 = rlst /. Rule[x_, y_ /; y < 0] -> Rule[x, 0] 

sets rlst2 to be the following list of rules:

OUT[2]= {s1 -> 0, s2 -> 12}


Hope that helps.

Clemens
