Question

I am building an Internal social networking website on SharePoint. Since its a networking intranet, I want it to be Open and non moderated. However, I also dont want people to use abusive / Foul or bad language words in the portal.

I tried Googling and wasnt really sucessfull in finding a solution.

Microsoft Forefront will do that for me, but it only does for Documents. But I also want to do that on Lists since Discussion forum on the SharePoint is in a list format.

Answer 1

You may create site solution/list definition for your site using Visual studio Sharepoint Site Solution Genarator. Create a custom list and name it as you wish. I would name it “AbusiveWordList” in the following code example.

After creating site solution/list definition, Add below code in Item Adding function, which will iterate through all column in the list and will check from the custom list that is created named “AbusiveWordList”. This list contains abusive words.

The chkbody function which will reference list item from custom list named “AbusiveWordList” and check if the bodytext contains item from AbusiveWordList.If yes, then it will throw an error.

*base.ItemAdding(properties);

foreach (DictionaryEntry
dictionaryEntry in
properties.AfterProperties) { string
bodytext = “”;

bodytext = bodytext +
dictionaryEntry.Value;

finalwordcount = finalwordcount +
chkbody(bodytext, properties); }

if (finalwordcount > 0) {
properties.ErrorMessage = “Abusive /
Foul / Illicit information
found.Kindly refer to the terms and
conditions.”;

properties.Cancel = true;

}
