[Resolved] Filtering User Posts for Foul Language

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Filtering User Posts for Foul Language using Toolset form

Solution:
There is no native solution available to check for foul words.

But a possible workaround would be using the Toolset Form's hook: cred_before_save_data
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_before_save_data

You can make a list of foul words and check against the submitted content and if found remove those words and then assign the filtered content to the field.

Tell us what you are trying to do? I would like to ensure that custom posts made by users, using the Toolset Post Forms, do not contain inappropriate language. How can I do that?

Is there any documentation that you are following? I couldn't find any.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
