I think it would be a good idea if it could be done.
We've all probably done it in non-competitive, friendly games and isn't this what this site is?
Of course I have no idea whether this is technically possible, or if it would just be too complicated.
But if it's a rated game -- and not one, say in teaching mode -- and one is asked to let his opponent "take back a move" as described above it seems only fair to ask him to resign before proceeding with a set-up game from that position.
Otherwise it would be a bit like playing tennis with the net down. 😀

The whole point of a "take-back" is to undo a move that you've made. This could be in a game with a real board and pieces, or on a computer. The fact that you have to "confirm" a move by clicking a button on this site makes no difference.

You cannot be serious!
The prospect of a "take back move" facility wether ur opponent agrees to it or not is simply ridiculous. In OTB play the tournament rule is 'if you touch it then you move it" - illegal moves and je dube excepted.
This is a serious chess site and where possibly the normal play rules should apply and if the MAP and POTM wannabe's ...[text shortened]... he playing format.
Thats the female perspective on this
