This comment prompted me to look a little deeper at this. I looked at the history for each show where I’ve had failed downloads from those groups.
For SuccessfulCrab; any time a release has come from a torrent tracker (I only have free public torrent trackers) it’s been garbage. I have however had a number of perfectly fine downloads with that group label, whenever retrieved from NZBgeek. I’ve narrowed that filter to block the string ‘SuccessfulCrab’ on all torrent trackers, but allow NBZs. Perhaps there’s an impersonator trying to smear them or something, idk.
ELiTE on the other hand, I’ve only got history of grabbing their torrents and every one of them was trash. That’s going to stay blocked everywhere.
The block potentially dangerous setting is interesting, but what exactly is it looking for? The torrent client is already set to not download file types I don’t want, so will it recognize and remove torrents that are empty? (everything’s marked ‘do not download’) I’m having a hard time finding documentation for that.

You can also approach this by blocking file types at the download client.

That’s what I’d already done as per the OP, but it leaves Sonarr/Radarr wanting manual intervention for the ‘complete’ download that doesn’t have any files to import.

Oh, I missed that. My bad.
