The only way I know to deal with that scenario is to disable posting permissions while the old period is unlocked. (Role Maintenance / User Maintenance).

Interesting ... the reason this came up is because the re-opened the previous period and before they got it closed again, somebody else posted to the wrong period ... the perfect storm as it were...

That setting controls the Accounting / Module date, not the Posting Date.
Document Date warnings (if turned on) are just warnings.
The only firm control is that you cannot post to a closed GL period.
