If we post more than 5 can we carry over the extra posts to future days?

it's like when you are in a room full of ppl dancing and you feel too awkward to dance even though you kinda want to, but then you just get into it and do it anyway and it turns out that it's fun and no one else cares if you mess up because everyone else is also having fun

Got my five in so I can relax for the day, I am usually a thread responder, not starter. Anyway we can have a conversion rate for responses, like 3 responses equal one thread? There are a lot of quality threads out there right now that aren't getting the attention they deserve--like all of mine--because people are too busy posting their own threads.

I am only averaging 9.4 replies per post though because my other threads sucked. How did other first time thread creators fair today?

I think I FARED alright. It's only day one and I'm assuming this rule is going to be the new law of the land so I've got plenty of time to hone my posting skills to a razor keenness.

So we've heard a lot about the people who fail to post their five threads being "punished." but as there are dozens of goons still lurking, I find it difficult to believe that each and every one of them will face some kind of probation or ban. It would be a pain in the butt to track down and verify so many people.
But g0m assures us the punishment is real, so that got me thinking:
What if the "punishment" is to miss out on some kind of reward? Like, those of us who were good and posted our five daily threads all win something nice, and the others are punished by the envy they feel as those of us who participated enjoy our boon?
