Why it's so painful to terminate multiple accounts?

Please make an option just to terminate accounts, without requiring to copy+paste annoying text.

I personally believe that its good to have the text in place, it helps limit the potential damage of accidentally deleting all or a large majority of accounts.

How is that "Easy to terminate"?

You login as root, go to TERMINATE ACCOUNTS that says your accounts will be TERMINATED, you CHECK the accounts that you want to TERMINATE and click button that says TERMINATE.

It's not like those things can happen by accident.

Although we are all admins and generally have a good knowhow, you would be surprised: some resellers may be silly enough because they may not be as smart as you.


Think of it like this: remember that "by default" every OS and file manager ask first "Are you sure you want to delete these items?" and when you go to the Recycle Bin and try to empty it, it asks you again if you are sure you want to do that. Even knowing that you had to click on DELETE FILE and after that confirmed the action with OK button, and then after opening Recycle Bin you had to click the EMPTY BIN button,... A GOOD UI SYSTEM MUST ALWAYS ASK FOR CONFIRMATION. A GOOD UI MUST BE AS FOOLPROOF AS POSSIBLE, and also provide the needed settings to disable confirmations for those like you thinking that this behaviour is annoying.

It's Apples vs. Oranges

Windows is for general public use, reseller accounts are not.

The whole world is dumbing everything down.

Well. Just to point out one example, we have plenty of reseller accounts managed by graphic designers. They are busy and lazy enough even to setup a hosting package and also are not willing to pay an extra fee to delegate the task of managing their accounts. You surely can reserve the right to refuse admission to that customers, we don't and won't. That's why I ask for this foolproof workaround.
