Comment (by dd32):

 Having heard of this before, it does make sense to me that there we may
 need more of a warning on what's about to happen.

 Perhaps a message of "This will cause 9 Pages, and 30 posts to be
 permanently deleted" for the delete term, and default the new-user for the
 posts to the current user, Either could be left as the default, but making
 it clear (Perhaps a "Are you sure" JS popup) could be worthwhile to
 prevent such accidental deletions.

 Not having a default selected and forcing the user to choose one or the
 other is also a potential solution to force the user to read what they're
 about to do.
