Are you sure you want to power cycle? | DO Ideas

Are you sure you want to power cycle?

There should be an "are you sure" prompt for anything which involves the immediate shutdown/reset of a droplet.

Somehow I have actually managed to accidentally power cycle a droplet in a production environment at a peak time.

Can I suggest for a name change on this feature request to be more in line with the current control panel UI? There is no "power cycle", it's simply "Turn off".

I agree with the idea though. The placement of the "Turn Off" button so close to the account switcher and enabling of floating IPs is terrible. Way too easy to power down a droplet in a single click. There needs to be a confirmation prompt.

I can see this happening to me...
It can be done with one line of Javascript and has the potential to save a lot of trouble.

It comes very often to me.
The problem is when I click to "Access", all the text change to th console access istantly, but the key still stay to "power cycles" for some seconds before shows "console access"

Yeah, this should not be something you "suggest," potentially destructive actions should always have a prompt.

I'm disappointed that we actually have to request and have this voted on....
