Yes, because of the sentiment they convey.  If someone wants to say
"go away," they can, but they will be perceived as unfriendly and
hostile.  If someone doesn't want to be perceived as unfriendly
and hostile, they don't have to say "go away."

They can't have it both ways.

Fences cost a lot more than signs, and, as I explained earlier this
evening, don't convey a clear message.
