Anyone could build a brick that would shutdown the server or ban someone or whatever. If you release this, kids will turn it on all the time and their experience will be made worse and they won't know what's going on.
It's easy to blame them for turning it on but really the problem is that the design is so prone to failure that it is almost unavoidable. Please don't fight me on this. This would be another eval nightmare if released.

Badspot failed the add-on since people who were not admin could use the /ban command. Zeblote complained that its there fault for turning it on. Badspot said that people would download it to see what it does and it is the add-ons problem. Zebelote posted the file and said "you should have admin only events on" when people could forget or for servers where people could event. Zebelote got banned for being an starfish and trying to still insist his add-on was good.

You gotta explain how posting an add-on that
[*] Was requested
[*] Can be extremely useful for people creating gamemodes without scripting knowledge (unable to create the wanted event, and need a solution to call a command asap without waiting for others to fulfill the request hours later)
[*] Might be very dangerous if used wrongly but therefor with a clear warning to not run it unless absolutely required and admin only events turned in, together with a sample image showing a very dangerous use of the add-on
is 'being an starfish'.

because if you look at his post he had a picture of the failed add-on he made that had been addressed directly by badspot to him
and then he gave a little note cleverly dropping in how to acquire the mod by changing the file extension on the image URL
Gen. Hothauser:
So why not add restrictions in the event's coding to permanently set it to admin-only?
