Preventing users from moving folders.

[JonnyD]

We have a main folder shared out for our ad ops department and in those we have some shares for other departments.
One problem that seems to be growing is users accidentally or without knowing better moving folders, causing the rest of the department to panic because $FOLDER that needs to go to press just vanished before their eyes. Causing me to have to go into the system, search it out and put it back.

Is there any way that i can lock a folders position in 10.3.8? The main problem is i need the users to still be able to put things into the folder. i have tried toying with permissions incessantly and even putting a root owned file in the folder but still i cannot find a way to prevent the folder from being move by a errant drag-click. I had even tried looking into folder actions with no avail.

my biggest fear is one of these days the folder really will be accidentally deleted and restoring from our backups just dosn’t seem to be a perdy procedure.
