Yeah, I'm surprised that was mentioned. The only way you'll get me to agree to consequences for no-show is if you pay me to show. I mean I already have consequences for no-showing -- my reputation. I've spent a long time building a reputation as a speaker who not only always shows up, but can do a talk with less than a day's notice. So I'm likely to show up so as not to ruin that reputation.
