We once had a "moratorium" about using the -f switch on console commands (for those who don't know, -f is typically --force AKA, "execute this command no matter the consequences, I know what I'm doing.). I'll let you imagine the cause but we all knew who it was about.

Another time we had an incident where the whole login process died for the whole day. Next day we were cc'd on an email informing us that security team is not allowed to use scripting anymore :D
