Q&A/FAQ
Q: Who sees the scam warning message?
Only
recipients of the conversation.
The conversation starter
never sees it.
Q: Can I customize the warning text?
Yes, fully customizable in the ACP.
Supports {username}, {user_id}, and HTML formatting.
Q: Is the warning shown every time a user refreshes a conversation?
Yes, the warning appears every time —
but it only logs once per viewer/conversation pair.
Q: What happens if I delete a log in the ACP?
Nothing is re-logged.
Even if you delete the visible log entry, the
seen record prevents duplicate logging.
Q: Can I completely turn off logging?
Yes — toggle it off in the options.
Q: What if I want logs to expire after X days?
This can be added as an optional cron task — ask if you want it implemented.
Q: Does this add any overhead to conversation views?
Minimal.
One optimized DB lookup to check the “seen” table, and optional insert on first view.
Q: Can this warn about older, suspicious accounts?
Yes — simply add their usergroup(s) to the target list.
Q: Can I require the starter to have NO secondary groups?
Yes — enable
Exclusive membership in the options.
Q: Does it support multiple usergroups?
Absolutely.
Enter them as CSV:
2,5,12
Q: Can you add an ACP filter or search for logs?
Yes — filtering by:
- Starter
- Viewer
- Conversation ID
- Date range
is easy to add.
Just ask and I can build the next feature set.
Q: Will this work on XenForo 2.2?
No.
It is built for
XF 2.3+ using the updated controller and templater systems.
