Disclose AI assistance in a post

  • The AI-assisted checkbox appears on thread creation, quick and full replies, and inline and full editing.
  • Tick it when AI helped write or substantially rewrite a post.
  • A text badge appears beside the post's attribution.
  • Each post keeps its own disclosure. An opening post does not label replies.
  • Authors can change it within their normal post-edit permissions. Draft restoration is supported.

Quote AI output

  • Use the AI quote button beside the editor. It wraps selected content or inserts an empty [ai] block.
  • Or type [ai]AI output[/ai].
  • The block shows the heading AI-generated excerpt.
  • A quote does not mark the surrounding post as AI-assisted. Tick the checkbox separately if needed.
  • AI tags inside quotes, code and plain-text blocks are not counted as excerpts.

Optional private reminders

  • Off by default. An administrator turns on Enable disclosure reminders at Setup → Options → AI Disclosure Label.
  • During author previews it checks a small set of English and Vietnamese self-reference phrases and privately suggests the checkbox.
  • It never labels a post or blocks submission, and it does not detect AI authorship.
  • It runs locally with no external service.

Search for disclosed posts

  • On the Search threads form, use the AI assistance and AI excerpt filters, alone or together.
  • They combine with keyword, member, forum and date controls.
  • Filters are unavailable until the initial index rebuild finishes.

Staff: change labels and view reports

  • Changing another member's label needs Manage AI disclosure plus post-edit access. Changes are logged.
  • Reports with View AI disclosure reports show counts by forum and post creation date.
  • Reports count visible content only and respect forum access.
