I might be a bit late to the party. I just found out about the GSoC program yesterday and submitted a brief proposal ! 😅

I just posted a potential enhancement or plugin that could be built into the composer / editor window. Link the discussion is [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/pre-emptively-warning-a-contributor-about-the-toxicity-of-their-post/60357).

The gist of the plugin/enhancement is that a user’s post could be pre-flagged and they could be notified that what they are about to post may be toxic and that they should take time to review it. I think the [Google Jigsaw](https://jigsaw.google.com/) team has been working towards developing something like this. @codinghorror linked google’s [perspectiveAPI](https://www.perspectiveapi.com/). I haven’t had time to play around with it myself but it looks promising from my initial glance. Maybe a plugin that uses that api?

What are your thoughts/feelings on something like this?
