File-type upload permissions
Request additional options with the "Attach Files" permission on channels. Specifically request the ability to limit file uploads to media types only, including images or videos, but disallowing executable, compressed, or unknown file types.

Still no option I guess... I want people to post pictures but no zip files etc..

There is another wave of people going around sharing EXE files trying to hack people's information. I have seen a few servers shut down by this type of phishing

Been looking for a way to restrict file-uploads by type, just mentioning that it would still be nice to have this as a feature
