"2. DUPLICATE files are not allowed and will be removed. You are expected to run a search for duplicates prior to submitting a torrent. Duplicates may be accepted when part of a themed collection.A file is considered a duplicate if an existing torrent has the same format and similar size (<10% difference) and has at least one seeder."
Still doesn't answer the question of whether .mkv are considered the same format as .mp4. I've had torrents deleted because they are. Yet other file types - "formats" - seem unaffected. Which seems inconsistent.
I'm mainly seeking clarity so that I can correctly follow the rules and, believe that it should be stated in "The Rules", to which people look for guidance, and not buried somewhere in a topic thread or two.
Other opinions are also available. They're not right, obviously, but they are available.

.mkv are considered the same format as .mp4.
No ...
I will paraphrase these :
While both .mkv and .mp4 are video container formats (they hold video, audio, and subtitles), they are not the same format. An MKV file generally supports a wider variety of codecs, multiple audio tracks, and advanced subtitles, whereas an MP4 file is highly compressed and universally supported by almost all devices and web browsers.Key Differences
Compatibility: MP4 is the industry standard for universal playback, meaning it natively works on iOS devices, smart TVs, and web browsers. MKV is an open-standard format that is fantastic for archiving but may require specific media players (like VLC Media Player) on some devicesFeatures: MKV shines when dealing with high-definition media because it can store virtually unlimited audio tracks, chapters, and high-quality subtitle files. MP4 limits the number of allowable tracks and formats.
Error Resilience: MKV has high error resilience, meaning the video can often still be played even if the file is partially damaged or corrupted. MP4 lacks this capability and can be rendered unplayable if broken
Quality & Size: The container itself doesn’t affect video quality. If the video and audio streams are identical, an MKV and MP4 file will be nearly identical in size and quality. However, MKV files appear larger when they bundle multiple audio/subtitle streams.
as I've said write MKV @ the end of your post title in order to be evaluated, about subcoded/hardcoded sub titles .srt file has nothing to do w/ it ... That is different story ...
Now the MOD staff has only the access to decide what is best ...

@john32123666 And as I said, I'm not talking about whether they ARE, I'm talking about how they're treated HERE. These are two different things.
I did confuse the issue earlier when talking to MrMazda by including .srt files in the equation. I'm talking about a straight .mkv file compared to a straight .mp4 file compared to s straight .avi file compared to a straight... which all contain exactly the same information.
If .mp4 and .mkv files are NOT considered the same format HERE, then - according to the rules - they're not duplicates. And, following that logic, why are other file types ("formats") not considered so. Or maybe they would be if the file's size also matched.
Yet I've had a torrent with exactly that scenario removed, and another where a single .mkv file containing multiple soft coded subs was nuked as a duplicate because a .mp4 with separate .srt files existed.

@john32123666 That doesn't address the point I'm making.

@john32123666 No problem. I WAS talking to a member of the team. I simply responded to your comment when you joined in the conversation. Glad you're done, as you seem to have totally missed the point, and not really added any value in this case.

I'm already confused on the ff duplicate rules ...
They have exactly same in size w/ 1.24 MB difference, and different file format ...When it comes through reporting dupes :
Remember: we do allow the same movie in different formats. A duplicate must be the same size and file type.
