Prevent blank line breaks in torrent description
#1
All fakes and virus-filled torrent use this technique of filling the description with a huge amount of blank line breaks in order to hide the comment section.
They do this so you don't see the comments calling out the torrent for being fake and having viruses.

It would be nice to filter out all the blank lines in the descriptions to prevent this.

Thanks.

Which is why you don't need to see the comments.

And consider that while every torrent with a huge amount of blank line breaks is fake, not every fake has comments. So hiding the blank lines--the sure and certain giveaway--would make it harder for you to see which torrents are fakes.

How about just convert any line breaks that are 2 or greater, to just one? Its probably a whack-a-mole game...
