AI Disclosure Label

Disclosure in the native editor

• An AI-assisted checkbox for thread creation, quick/full replies and inline/full editing.
• A text badge on disclosed posts and corresponding native search results.
• Separate disclosure for each post, with native edit permissions and draft restoration.
• Additional moderator permission and logs for changes to another member’s disclosure.

Clearly marked AI quotations

• An AI quote button that wraps selected content or inserts an empty [ai] block.
• A distinct AI-generated excerpt heading with formatted content inside.
• Quotations that stay separate from the surrounding post’s assistance disclosure.
• Excerpt classification that excludes AI tags inside quotes, code and plain-text blocks.

Optional private reminders

• Off by default, enabled from the add-on’s ACP option group.
• A small set of English/Vietnamese self-reference phrase checks during author previews.
• A private suggestion that leaves the checkbox and submission decision to the author.
• Local processing with no external AI detection service, stored scores or automatic reports.

Search, reports and index management

• Independent assistance and excerpt filters in the native Search threads form.
• Filters that combine with normal keyword/member queries, forum/date limits and result grouping.
• Permission-aware staff totals for visible posts, disclosures and excerpts by forum/date.
• A resumable historical rebuild with ACP readiness and restart controls.
• Search filters that become available after the initial rebuild finishes.

1. Check the platform and install

Review Compatibility and try the add-on with your forum style on a test installation. Use Add-ons → Install/upgrade from archive, or upload the release ZIP’s upload contents to the forum root and install DC/AIDisclosure.

An existing [ai] BBCode owned by an administrator or another add-on blocks installation. Resolve that conflict first; the installer does not overwrite it.

2. Complete historical indexing

Open Tools → AI disclosure index and let the initial resumable rebuild finish. This prepares excerpt metadata and native search records for existing posts. The search filters remain unavailable until it completes. Use Rebuild disclosure index to restart a failed rebuild.

3. Set staff permissions

Grant Manage AI disclosure under forum moderator permissions to staff who should change another member’s label. They also need native post-edit access. Grant View AI disclosure reports under general moderator permissions to the appropriate staff. Reports require staff or moderator status.

4. Choose whether to offer reminders

Open Setup → Options → AI Disclosure Label. Enable disclosure reminders is off by default. Enable it if your community wants a private prompt for recognized AI self-reference phrases during author previews.

5. Use disclosure, quotations and search

Select AI-assisted when AI helped write or substantially rewrite a post. Use AI quote for an excerpt. Search from Search threads with either or both AI filters, optionally adding keywords or a member query. Staff can open Forums → AI disclosure report to review current counts and find matching posts.

Disabling preserves labels and message text. Re-enabling queues a rebuild. Uninstalling removes disclosure metadata while preserving the original messages; [ai] markup may appear literally afterward.
