In the HTML source code of the subverse */edit* page, I found out that after accidentially clicking the *“Disable sub”* button (never happened to me, but still noteable), the only thing that protects one from permanently effectively erasing a subverse is a JavaScript-generated confirmation dialogue box asking: > Are you sure you want to disable this sub? > This action is not reversible! I have also accessed that edit page through a test account (/u/Ha7test), finding out that not just the owner, but **any subverse moderator** apparently has the ability to disable their subverse. I know, one should only give moderation access to trusted users, but it is enough for just one moderator to do a mistake (e.g. leave a computer unattended in a public place or have a harsh dispute) for a realistic risk of someone clicking *“Disable sub”*. It sounds rather hypothetical, but it only needs to happen **once.** Then the subverse is air. Obviously, doing it accidentially is still very unlikely, but I still think that **it should not be possible** to irreversibly disable an entire subverse **with two mouse clicks** that can be done within under five seconds. I hope my point of view is understandable. ---- ## **Suggestions:** * Ability to re-enable subverse at any later time. * If not, then at least have a grace period of 1 month (or 1 week or 24 hours, if 1 month is too much). * Require E-Mail confirmation. * Or: Require password re-confirmation. * Only allow **the owner** to disable the subverse, no one else.
