Disallow specific extensions from some categories
#1
I did a search for disallow and another for extension but didn't find any threads.

I ran into a fake torrent the other day where the torrent contained an EXE. Certain categories like videos or porn (other than porn games), containing an EXE within a torrent is a high indicator of being a fake or malware. Maybe even .VBS, .BAT, .COM would be a flag for fake as well. WMV might end up being legitimate in some cases, but I've run into most of them being DRM-enabled.

I can see these torrents being uploaded, then being auto nuked. Would save the mods some admin time.

Certain specific extensions are already blocked from being uploaded to certain categories.

But we're not here to stop people sharing. Quite the contrary. So we only ban/block things when there is excessive abuse.
