Here is the sceneario I've been in a few times:
- Accidentally tap, click, or activate something with my keyboard while I'm being clumsy.
- Just about immediately activate the confirmation dialog that follows.
I've just deleted a character (intentionally, thankfully) and the delete link and confirmation button are easily in about the same spot, which makes me uneasy.
World of Warcraft had the idea that delete a character, you have to type their name into the confirmation dialog. (So it will say: ok, you are trying to delete Dickbutt. If you mean it, type DICKBUTT below.) That means it's definitely deliberate, and you definitely know exactly who you're deleting.
Could we have the same here so that accidental character deletion will just about never ever happen?
