Blacklist

In the admin panel of sites based on Lara-script the functionality is implemented of a blacklist (Blacklist), which allows blocking problematic clients and, if necessary, sharing information about them with other exchangers through integration with the aggregator Kursoff. The blacklist functionality allows you to globally block a site user. After being blocked the client will no longer be able to create new requests, and any further cooperation with them will be terminated.

This mechanism is intended for:

  • protecting the exchanger from fraudsters and risky users;

  • increasing transparency and security within the exchanger ecosystem;

  • centralized sharing of verified data about clients.

When a client can be blocked:

  • The client behaves aggressively, uses profanity, or resorts to personal insults.

  • An exchange has requested to stop accepting funds from a specific client.

  • Monitoring recommends blocking the user.

  • Fraudulent actions, attempts to use someone else's details, or other suspicious operations have been detected.

Adding a client to the blacklist

Available path

Admin panel → Blacklist → +Add

Available categories

When adding an item to the blacklist you must choose one of the categories:

  • Fraud

  • Overpayment

  • Spam

  • Other

  • Chargeback

  • Suspicious source of funds

The category directly affects the system's subsequent behavior when this user creates requests.

Fields of the add form

When creating a blacklist entry the following fields are available:

  • Category — the reason for adding to the blacklist

  • Name — an arbitrary name / client identifier

  • IP address — the client's IP

  • Email — the client's email

  • Description — administrator's comment

  • Export to Kursoff — export toggle

  • Attachments — screenshots, evidence, files

  • Payment details — details that the client used for transactions (you can add several)

Export to Kursoff and global Blacklist

Export operation logic

If when adding a client to the blacklist the "Export to Kursoff" toggle is enabled:

  1. A request is created in Kursoff to add the client to the global blacklist.

  2. The request goes through Kursoff moderation:

    • Approved — the request has been approved;

    • Declined — the request has been declined.

  3. After approval:

    • the client is automatically added to the blacklist of all exchangers, that have integration with Kursoff configured;

    • the item appears in the admin panel of all exchangers in the Blacklist section;

    • data is synchronized automatically.

❗️Information about which exchanger added the client, is not shown to other exchangers.

Statuses and display in Kursoff

In the Kursoff personal account (for users with account type "Exchanger") there is an available blacklist section where you can:

  • see all submitted requests;

  • track their current status (under review/approved/declined).

Flow of work:

  1. Creating a request from the exchanger admin panel

  2. Review by Kursoff moderation

  3. Propagation of the approved item to all exchangers

Influence of categories on request creation

There are two system behavior scenarios, if a client from the blacklist creates a request.

1️⃣ Marking the request (without blocking)

For most categories:

  • the request is created;

  • the operator sees that the client is on the blacklist;

  • the request is highlighted with a special color in the "All requests" list;

  • the operator makes a decision manually.

2️⃣ Full blocking (without generating an address)

A deposit address is not generated, if:

  • category:

    • Fraud

    • Suspicious source of funds

  • category Spam, BUT:

    • the blacklist item was created locally by this exchanger, and not received from Kursoff.

An important exception

If the category "Spam" came from Kursoff (added by another exchanger):

  • address is generated;

  • the request only marked in the list of requests.

Editing blacklist entries

  • A blacklist entry can be edited.

  • If it was exported to Kursoff:

    • changes are automatically synchronized;

    • updated data is distributed to all exchangers.

  • Changing the category also affects the blocking and marking logic.

If you received the data from Kursoff import, you can remove this user from the blacklist specifically for your exchanger. Thus the client will be able to create requests only with you, among the entire network of the global blacklist by exchangers integrated with Kursoff and Lara-Script

Recommendation:

In the "Description" field indicate the most specific reason possible (for example: insulting the operator, attempt to scam with a card, exchange request). This will help quickly understand the basis for the block if it is necessary to review the record in the future.

After adding a client to the Blacklist you will be redirected to a page with the list of blocked users, where you can always view block details or delete a specific record.

Summary

Blacklist functionality with Kursoff integration:

  • provides a unified mechanism to combat fraudsters;

  • allows exchangers to share verified information;

  • automatically synchronizes data among participants;

  • reduces risks and support load.
