“The collective search for truth” might sound a bit too grandiose if this is implemented server-side (but I'm primed by reading this ChristianKl comment); maybe “In posting this, I am making a good-faith contribution to refining the art of human rationality” (as per the LW tagline) or similar?

How about... "Are you sure you'd like to post this?"

Any other message would have probably immediately driven me a way from this place.

I'd agree with that for a default implementation, but as a userscript I like the "collective search for truth" one better.

Best of all, I think it would be cool to have a server-side implementation with the text customizable, set by default to "Are you sure you'd like to post this?" (and possibly opt-in).
