After all, nobody died in the first class except Mei.

Maybe if they all just accepted Mei as that quirky ghost that likes to hang out in class 3 and go to school with them everything would turn up rainbows and roses?
I had a similar guess. I wondered, which are the differences between Kouichi and his classmates? Now I can't check if he was born in Tokyo or not, but the birth place could be a discriminant (or not, if we count Akazawa's countermeasures as mere guesses). The second thing, that made me guess a sort of acceptance rule, was that Kouichi has formally asked the name to Mei and she formally answered. So the rule maybe requires acceptance from both parts.
So the original class was saved by the fact that they all knew Mei Misaki.
Rephrasing the hypothetical safe rules we could say: you don't see/speak about/wahtever her and you don't believe in her existence. BUT if you accept her then you mast be accepted by her.
