Hey Dolby, if you guys check all addon uploads for virus then woud it be too much work to check for:
- readme.txt files
- Hidden DS store files
- __MACOSX folders
There are still addons around that contain this and they all unzip into the eso folder and make a great mess.
From Curse I know that the Mods check for this things but here and at wow interface I even accidentally uploaded an exe file (png converter) with my interface and noone saw it.
Also it shoud be possible to mark your own addon to be not downloadable with Minion so you can upload fixes or textures for other addons.
