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

[Dave Lewis]

I think its surreal, they are willfully destroying other people's
work!  Its a bit like software terrorism.  I don't understand the
value of continuing to employ such people.

If I just randomly obliterated revisions from the depot, you can be
sure people would be upset, and I'd be out of a job.

While its not the same as obliteration, it is similar in effect and disruption.
