Exactly. Or visit them with a sucker rod. Or have a department chair
have a "talk" with them.
Human to human interactions and controls work better than installing
complex tools or automated constraints. Sure, sucker rods are a joke
and no we don't actually bop users on the head or the desk or whomp them
upside the head with a manual, but in most cases a stern talking to
followed by locking their account unless/until they formally agree to
change their ways is more than sufficient.
