Moving the "Remove My Account" Gun to a Safer Location
When I'm finished editing my profile, my gut instinct is to quickly scroll down and click the button at the bottom of the page to save my changes. The problem is that the button at the bottom of the "Profile" page is the "Remove My Account" button. The smaller, less obvious, "Save" button is about 50 pixels north.
The buttons are clearly labeled and I'm sure there's probably a warning prompt before the account is completely removed, but I wonder if fewer people would shoot themselves in the foot if that particular gun was moved to a safer location.

Inappropriate?Thanks for the suggestion. There is a confirmation step, but we'll have a look at other account removal UX patterns and consider moving it to a safer place.
