Yes, rework the confirmation rules. I've actually been pretty vocal about the whole "people are afraid to fight back because they'll get yelled at/banned" thing several times and the fact it actually got/could get worse due to the current incarnation of the write is １００％ ＢＡＤ.
(WARNING: NERD OPINION ZONE) Most times if you can get Really Really Sure about those things, you're already dead; visual contact with an antag that's gone loud, i.e. someone defibbing/stabbing you/a wizard fireballing you, without any means of protection is basically ensuring your death. Making everyone have to be goody two shoes who need to be TOTALLY SURE before they can do anything (also having no sec because sec is nofun for many people) is crippling them. Besides, even if you fuck up and hit the wrong guy, we have Ghost Drones now to prevent him from stewing all round. I dunno. It just feels unfair to whomp on people for trying to not die, even if they're misguided. It's intentional shittery that's the problem.
