Warning message when publishing places

It’s really easy to publish places—too easy.
It just so happens that the one place that I should never publish to is right next to where my mouse is whenever I want to change the group of the place I am publishing to.

If I end up switching which group I am publishing to often, chances are that I could misclick the options on the drop-down menu, and override a place with thousands of players on it at a time. All it takes is one easy misclick to cause a very bad change. The drop-down menu is literally hovering over the one button that I don’t ever want to click.

My suggestion is that there should be more warning messages in the process of publishing to a place; the “Cancel” button rarely actually works for me, and if I’m publishing a small place, it will disappear before I am ever able to click it. Perhaps a warning menu that says “Are you sure you want to publish to (place name)?” placed in the middle of the screen would make this less dangerous.
