Deconstructing the RD server under luddite rules? (or ever)

[essnato]

I had some round (15024) where I was the only scientist as RD and some borg got luddite and started taking apart all of science, including the research server which reset all the tech and since the artifacts were bad and I was the only scientist I couldn't really do anomalies, so science never recovered and we never had tech again. Is it allowed to do that? because it made that round terrible tbh
