// Bot responds: "Please keep the chat clean."
```

### `censor` - Replace and continue
```javascript
profanityPlugin({ action: 'censor', replaceWith: '***' })

```javascript
profanityPlugin({ action: 'block' })
// Message is not processed
```

profanityPlugin({ action: 'log' })
// Logs violation, processes normally
```

## Custom Violation Handler

```javascript
profanityPlugin({
  action: 'custom',
  onViolation: async (message, result, context) => {
    // Track repeat offenders
    await trackViolation(message.userId, result.profaneWords);

    // Custom response
    if (getViolationCount(message.userId) > 3) {
      await banUser(message.userId);
      return { blocked: true };
    }

    return { blocked: false, warning: "First warning..." };
  }
})
