No one has been able to name a situation because there is no one-size-fits-all situation in which it is necessary. It all depends on your kid, his/her age, the action that requires discipline, how s/he has responded (or not responded) to other solutions, and your own capabilities of doing it right. Potching, like everything else, falls under “chanoch lanaar al pi darko” and you need to figure out what’s good for your kid and what’s not.
