YouTube is trying to be the angel on your shoulder, testing a feature that would ask users to think twice before posting rude comments.

In a post on its support page, Google said the reminder would pop up before users post a potentially offensive comment, giving them a moment to reflect on it and revise the phrasing before posting.
