@Taldin I have to disagree. There's a reason confirmation dialogs fell out of favour: users quickly learn to stop consciously noticing them. If you (for example) decide that a delete option is dangerous and add "Are you sure?" and "Are you really sure?" dialogs, what happens is before long users are habitually clicking "DELETE, Y, Y" whenever they want to delete without really thinking about it. End result: More hoops for the user to jump through and no real improvement in preventing mishaps.
