I'm with you. I don't like the idea of rewarding people who have more free time than others. As long as you are keeping up your commitments, you shouldn't be (indirectly) penalized for not giving more of your time.
I'm in only one online league (the WBH; it rocks). My time for it runs hot and cold. I enjoy it more when I'm participating, and I'm sure I would be more competitive if I had more time. That's enough of an advantage, in my eyes. Just my $0.02.
We do, however, penalize teams for disrupting the flow. Missing an export, causing extra work for the Commish by not managing your roster properly, stuff like that. The rewards we do have are mostly cosmetic. For example, if you go through a whole season without being penalized, you get to give one of your players a nickname.
