I, too, am over the no consequence thing. I'm also over the "let's bend over backwards to make sure kids get high grades rather than deal with the potentially upset parent" mentality. I feel like grades are becoming more and more inflated, and I don't think standards based grading with the numbers is a way to go either. No matter what system you use, there will still be problem if you cave to parents. I seriously feel that since "rigor" has become more common in schools, it's actually gotten less rigorous.

Do you have a late work policy? If so, I'd say you have a late work policy and plan on enforcing it. Now, if you are 100% online, I do understand that there should be some grace, but those kids also needed to make an effort before that!
