to echo what Kyle said on a PR that wanted self-harm-battoning to be removed, currently the actual punishment for it is dismissable, a couple seconds of the "electrified" status or whatever, especially compared to how before, you'd just stun yourself for 30 seconds straight.
I think the mechanic is fine. It reminds Sec Offices to be concious of what they're doing, even more so during combat. And you could even make a case that "lore wise", self-harm-batonning happens if you're inexpirenced with using a baton.
However, I do think that whats currently going on should be explained better to the player, as currently its very much confusing for anyone that hasnt had it explained to them.
