One thing I liked about AskReddit was their rule that OP can't answer their own question in the root post. Because as you can see here and in askreddit threads from before that rule, all it does it make every reply about arguing with OP instead of answering the goddamn question.

Anyways I'd remove apologize. Because I'm sick of people repeatedly saying "I apologize" 30 times in a row while continuing to do the thing they're apologizing about.

    It's very obvious that a lot of Ask post are just thinly-veiled airings of opinion. I've been guilty of it myself, but I try to only ask questions where I do have a glimmer of curiousity or a willingness to consider other evidence or engage fairly in conversation.

    I think your proposed rule is a good, objective way to lessen the reward to bad actors.
