AIXF Conversation Scam Warning 2.3.7

When a conversation is started by a user in a “high-risk” or “new member” usergroup, this add-on displays a warning banner to the recipient — not the starter.

Warnings are logged in the Admin CP and can be reviewed or deleted.

This add-on is ideal for forums with classifieds, marketplaces, or high-value trade activity where scammers often target members via PM.

Features​

✔ Show a scam warning in conversations​

A configurable warning banner appears only to the conversation recipient, never to the starter.

✔ Usergroup-based conditions​

You choose which usergroups trigger the warning:

• One or multiple usergroups
• Optionally require exclusive membership (starter must be ONLY in the selected group(s))

✔ Fully customizable warning message​

Admins can edit the warning text in the ACP.
Supports placeholders:

• {username} — the conversation starter’s username
• {user_id} — their user ID

HTML is allowed.

✔ Logging system (with ACP viewer)​

• Each conversation + viewer pair is logged once ever
• Refreshing the page does NOT create new logs
• Deleting a log in ACP does NOT regenerate it
• Logs show starter, viewer, IP, conversation ID, and timestamp
• Each log appears in its own card, with a delete button

✔ Separate “seen” table​

Ensures warnings are never logged twice for the same viewer/conversation, even if Admin deletes logs later.

✔ Template modification included​

The warning notice is automatically injected into conversation_view without manual editing.
