 * I learned today that when using frontend form, users can actually input harmful
   things (codes???) to do damage to our site, and it requires the “sanitize” feature
   to counter that. Does EM have that?

 * Hi angelo_nwl,
 * May I know how to **hook into em_event_save filter which is located (for reference)
   under events-manager/classes/em-event.php **?
 * What are the steps to do that?
 * Will those steps “sanitize” and prevent frontend event submission form users 
   from input harmful things that would damage our site?
 * If not, are there any plugins that can do that?
 * Thank you.
