Yeah. It boils down to "imprisonment is lame". OOC permission only, basically. It's similar to why complete mind control/possession moves aren't allowed for durations longer than a post. Without OOC permission, it's lame.
Like, you can try and set up some elaborate scheme to trap a player character without OOC permission after beating them in a fight, but if they don't want to be stuck, they can escape in like a post - and even if they somehow bypass your millions of contingencies for stopping them doing that, no judge or mod is going to rule in your favour if you try to get one involved. Best case for you is they make a sloppy escape attempt and you kill them. But, being stuck and not able to do stuff you wanna do is just lame.
Of course, if they're game for being stuck in your makeshift jail, go for it dude. And, if they're an NPC of yours, it's fine.
