It isn't clear for which member(s) this works. Does it works if someone send a PM to admins, moderators, any staff member?

Yes. You should select those groups in ACP mod config. Then every member of those groups will be able to setup personal warning (see screenshot). Like "Read forum rules, prior to ask", "Please, see our knowlegs base befor asking" and other bullshit

When user try to send PM for such stuff member, he will see warning and text "please press button again if you are really shure".

There is a conflict with custom prefixes. If a board has custom DB prefixes, this will result in a database error if people try to send a PM to staff members.

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.3:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT `lasttime`
