File Randomizer

I had this idea:
A random download button, that takes one file at random (or from selected genres), and removes the filename for something like 'Random File (generated number).mp3'.

Seems like it would be great for dares and people who enjoy giving up control (I get the impression there are some people like that around).

Thoughts?

The first thought that comes to mind is 'what about curse files?' Your idea sounds a bit like Russian roulette.

There used to be a 'random file' button, but the site has changed a lot since then. (I think the one I'm remembering is from before we had forums)

I'd suggest some way to limit the selection; maybe have a list where you can tick any categories/types that you want to exclude.

Yeah, definitely sortable by categories/types/genres to include/exclude; like with the effect option of curse.

I would definitely use this if we had a few exceptions to make it less like actual Russian Roulette. Like excluding incontinence files and feminization files.

I guess it would just be the same qualifiers as the file search but you just have a random button instead of a search button.
