Added some explanation on forbidding a move as a possible solution
Feb 7, 2019 at 11:24 comment added D M On the other hand, you may be correct about that not being in the rules... I'll edit later today.
Feb 7, 2019 at 11:18 comment added D M According to the preface to the FIDE Laws of Chess: "The Laws assume that arbiters have the necessary competence, sound judgement and absolute objectivity. Too detailed a rule might deprive the arbiter of his freedom of judgement and thus prevent him from finding a solution to a problem dictated by fairness, logic and special factors. FIDE appeals to all chess players and federations to accept this view."
Feb 7, 2019 at 10:57 comment added Annatar @RemcoGerlich I agree that an arbiter is not allowed to directly forbid a player to make a move. They can interpret the player playing the suggested move as "using advice" though and forfeit the game; and giving the player a friendly warning about this line of thought is appropriate/fair/covered by the rules, even if it leads to the same result as directly forbidding the move.
Feb 7, 2019 at 10:18 comment added RemcoGerlich This would be up to the competition organisers, not the local arbiter for that particular match. Forbidding a player to make a particular move is not based in the rules, imo.
