Re: Point 4: " Don't make it easy to do destructive things like delete accounts."

This has happened with our toddlers deleting our gaming progress, and is very annoying.

Requiring a word to be typed for confirmation is a great way to lessen the chances of this happening. For example, in World of Warcraft you have to type in the letters D E L E T E and press Enter (or click the button) before you can delete your character.
