Is there an alternative to allow scripted destructive actions without the risk of deleting important stuff?

Modern OS's will warn you if you try to delete stuff, but you can still ultimately do it anyway, I don't see it as something particular to UNIX.

The only similar problem I had was on windows, 98 I guess, I deleted all my files that weren't readonly by fiddling with a .bat script.
