So while morally, I completely agree that no one should have to tell you to not do something damaging/silly - I do think a very simple statement would go a very long way. I agree with many people that when we were told to turn off our WiFi, a simple statement of "Stop throwing stuff" would've fit right in.

Agreed. It won't ever come close to ending until FIRST makes it very clear they don't want it to happen. Most teams I bet don't even realize it is discouraged and others just think some think it is only grumpy people on CD that complain about it and hate fun. Just the general feelings I have gotten when talking to others about it.
