Why is so easy to terminate accounts?

When you want to terminate an account, you simply select the domain and click on Terminate. I've found that sometime a newbie user of reseller plans have deleted an account by mistake. Shouldn't be a Yes/No confirmation at that attempt?

Regards

That is interesting. When terminating multiple accounts one is required to populate a text field with a sentence. Something similar should be applied to single account termination.

Yep, enabling that for single account termination will lower my aspirin budget hahahaha

Tell me if this suggestion need to be required via bugzilla.

I submitted a feature request to the developers.

Yes, a confirmation should be requested, thought of that myself recently.

We use the /scripts/prekillacct script to do a backup of the account when it is deleted, and these backups are kept in a special directory like /backup/killedaccts so it's always easily possible to restore a terminated account.
