[SOLVED] Forum suggestion regarding video file extensions

[lagprogramming]

In order to attach a video file to a message, a user has to put it in an archive first. It complicates something that can be done straight forward.
My suggestion is to add video file extensions(like avi, mp4, mkv...) to the list of file extensions that can be attached to a message.
At the time I'm suggesting this improvement I'm aware that there is a 500KB file limit for attachments.

Spammers already have the text, the links in the text and they can attach images, too. In fact, if they want, they can attach videos by using animated gif files.
I have doubts that allowing common video file extensions would significantly encourage them to spam.
Ordinary forum users don't know how much spam is removed by the forum moderators. I'm sure that the moderators have enough experience and they will analyze this suggestion properly.

Might take a bit to consider... Will revert on the topic later.

I have allowed mp4 for now.

Will wait and see how it goes.
