This is utterly fascinating - Scene nuke rules.

From wikipedia:

In the warez scene, nuke refers to labeling content as "bad", for reasons which might include unusable software, bad video/audio quality, virus-infected content, deceptively labeled (fake) content or not following the rules. Also duplicates and stolen releases from other pirates will be nuked.

So that's all well and good, but the extent to which these rules are organized and spelled out is pretty impressive. For example, take a look at the MP3 release rules which are signed by a large number of groups, or the general nuke council rules (yes, that's a real thing).
