Accepted your suggestion, thanks a lot!
I think "don't abuse X" has more value as a slogan, and it's more memorable (partly because of its tautological wordiness?). That's the reason I chose it initially, but your point of view convinced me that it's worth signalling intellectuality in this case.
I think it might be memorable because of the imperative. I'm skeptical that tautology or wordiness are productive, even of memory.
