This would require customization. You would want to use the post_submission_filter, check all the submitted content for bad words, and then change it to draft if it fails the check. It seems like it could be a bit intense if the post body is long, but it is possible. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/profanity-filter-possible-on-post-form#post-321565 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:17:22 +0000 eCurtis 321565@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a form that takes user input and makes a post that is visible right away (no moderation, I suggested they not do this). However they would like to know if a profanity filter is possible so that it profanity is detected the post is kept but not published, with an email getting fired off.</p> <p>Is this possible? What hooks would you suggest if so? </p>
