I think if you're unavoidably negatively affecting the people around you or are physically hurt then by all means quit. If you're just having a shitty day I think it's best to stick it out & be grateful for the opportunity to control your emotions instead of letting your emotions control you. I learn far more from the bad days on the course than I do the good.

As far as sanctions for DNF's go, I think you should get a set # per year with no penalty. If you exceed that # you are suspended from playing tournaments for x amount of time. If you're DNF's are legitimate injuries then you should be able to appeal the suspension.

**I really think something like the above idea should only apply to the upper end of the pros though. A few rating points doesn't really matter much for the rest of us & would be a waste of time & resources for the PDGA to administer. A simple internet incentive such as an iron man award for your player page given to those with no annual DNF's (or something similar) might go a long way. Go 5 years with no DNF'S & get a pin for your bag or something.
