How about just forbid people from banning for wrong settings, but  
still allow us to order them?  Or better yet, allow banning for  
persistent and clearly deliberate wrong settings, but not for one or  
two battles where you misread, or didn't get the order, or just  
forgot...or thought that the General's settings were stupid.

If we can order settings, that gives people an idea of what's good to  
use for this battle, and they can choose whether or not to follow  
it.  But don't make it an inalienable right, because that will just  
lead to a lot of confusion.
