Sounds like a personal problem.

At some point you may encounter a bug or glitch that requires admin commands to fix and that not cheatimg...It's just being your own admin.

If you setup your SP game with settings to fit you, there should be no need to cheat.

You can't, the only option you have is to improve your self-control.

Just don't cheat then?
If you can't find the strength not to cheat in a game, then what is that weak control like in real life?

Also, eliminating cheats will add frustration. When your high-level rex/spino/rock drake/etc. gets stuck under the mesh with just its feet sticking out will you just leave it there even though that is not an intended game mechanic?
Or what about a spawning bug. When the game won’t spawn in a certain thing, or over spawns something, the only option is to do a dino wipe. If you don’t then you will never have that creature or be unable to tame another creature when its surrounded by 500 of its friends.

Just the other day I had to ghost under the mesh to rescue two eggs and a baby glowtail that fell through the floor. I had to pick up the eggs trapped in limbo, and use setbabyage 1 to grow up the glowtail to be able to put it on my shoulder and ghost back through the floor. If I hadn’t done that then the two hours of waiting would have been wasted.

You could unassign the console key. Then before using a cheat you're going to have to reassign it, maybe your lazyiness will outweigh your lack of self control?

Could add a zapper/shocker to the console key. So you get shocked everytime you use it.

There is absolutely no way possible to prevent you cheating in single player if your self control is low.
Any method to disable it could be undone at anytime.
Even if you ripped out the console key from your keyboard you could just remap it to another key.

Just grow a pair and have some self control !

If poster is a member of h. sapiens, this should really only be considered a last resort option.
For reference see:

My Lai (village)
Auschwitz(camp)
Hiroshima(town)
Jimmy Dean pancake on a stick (gross)
Cleveland sports teams (masochistic)

Self control is clearly not h. Sapiens strong suit.

some light reading to improve your self control ...http://sourcesofinsight.com/jackie-robinson-story-of-self-control/ proving it can be done. :)

Liberal application of IcyHot or a similar product on both hands will help with your self control issues of using "admin commands".

Never heard it referred to in that terminology before; that's a first.
