Not much to add here, as I agree with the administration's current approach and they've pretty much covered it.
Regarding tone :
As someone whose job involves speaking to lots of people, there's a saying I think is applicable here.
Never regret being a good person to the wrong people, your behavior says everything about you, and their behavior says enough about them.
Admins should not have to compromise their preferred behavior by becoming angry/rude when dealing with these kinds of things - it's just not very healthy in the long run for all parties involved.
In most cases, being the better person with a polite approach will achieve one of two things :
A) the other party is receptive to the approach, and it can be a positive influence on them
B) the other party gets incredibly cheesed off and starts throwing a tantrum
Both of these outcomes should be agreeable with you, as they either learn from it or dig their holes deeper.
