Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
To help users easily avoid mod posts with potential malware, and prompt mod creators to add malware scan links, a small notice/text is shown if a download doesn't include a malware scan link (must be a link).
The message can be "The mod poster hasn't provided a malware scan report for this these files. Be careful."
Issue:
Creators might just add whatever links to remove that notice, but i guess that's an issue for another time to figure out and solve.
For the basic solution, we can check the links against popular malware scan websites but it would have to be hardcoded or fetched from some npub metadata list.
More advanced solution could be manual or automatic (with the 3rd party API) check and assigning a "trusted/scanned/checked" badge to the mod, but that would require checking that the link actually leads to the website and it scanned the actual mod files it lists (comparing hashes or something).
