Rebelling Against Rebels?

I agree with Jason. Making those rules won't get those that don't post to post more, and only limits those that want to and appreciate posting here regularly on here. It's like trying to force the rebel kids in class that don't want to participate to participate in class discussion/activity and stopping those that really want to participate in class.

The rebels don't care if it affects their grade, because their grade is not their priority, thus, they still won't participate. The ones that WANT to participate then begin to see the class discussion/activity as stagnant or boring, want to jump in but are reprimanded when they do, and then they become angry, sullen, or lose faith in the purpose of that discussion/activity altogether.

Plus, this is not a classroom where all the members are physically present together in one location. Some members may not have read this site in a while - I know I didn't when I was gone for a week and some on vacation, right? =)
