[p4] How can I prevent a user from using "accept mine" during resolution

I'm rethinking my earlier statement about not being able to check it 
with triggers. If you take any integration options and look at the type 
of the integration record, offenders will show up as "ignore from" if I 
remember correctly. This can at least let you identify potential 
offenses for follow up. You don't want to ban "accept mine" altogether; 
many times it's the right thing to do.
