 that, it is recommended the module calls `event.get_dict()` to get the current event as a
 dictionary, and modify the returned dictionary accordingly.
 
+If `check_event_allowed` raises an exception, the module is assumed to have failed.
+The event will not be accepted but is not treated as explicitly rejected, either.
+An HTTP request causing the module check will likely result in a 500 Internal
+Server Error.

+When the boolean returned by the module is `False`, the event is rejected.
+(Module developers should not use exceptions for rejection.)

 Note that replacing the event only works for events sent by local users, not for events
 received over federation.

+Called after sending an event into a room. The module is passed the event, as well
+as the state of the room _after_ the event. This means that if the event is a state event,
+it will be included in this state.
+
+Note that this callback is called when the event has already been processed and stored
+into the room, which means this callback cannot be used to deny persisting the event. To
+deny an incoming event, see [`check_event_for_spam`](spam_checker_callbacks.md#check_event_for_spam) instead.
+
+If multiple modules implement this callback, Synapse runs them all in order.

 ## Example
 
 The example below is a module that implements the third-party rules callback
