In order 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. |
