replies: text: You need references for how the warez scene sets the standards, current references are just supporting that the standards exist and are correctly referenced, but don't link them to the scene. You need a reference that says "the warez scene sets standards for releases, for example standards X and Y to release programs W and Z " --Enric Naval (talk) 15:29, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Please update the WEB rules basing on: (Official MP3 Release Rules V1.1 active since 2007-06-01)
Encoding Quality
For releases made from MP3s (online bought) and which are not SBD:
VBR (all combinations, but no maximum bitrate limit) and CBR is allowed. The minumum bitrate for CBR is 192kbit.
=> You release the MP3 as is. It is NOT allowed to re-encode! If the source is below 192 kbit CBR it's not allowed to release it. Release the MP3 unmodifed as you downloaded it. Only adding/changing ID3 tag is allowed.
If you want to release a -WEB- mp3 file with constant bitrate (CBR) then you must choose the best version (320->256->224->192 kbit) available at the shop.
For ALL other sources (CD, Vinyl, DVD, SBD, CABLE, LINE, etc.):
You must use either: 
- LAME 3.97 (final version!) with preset V2 and VBRNEW ("-V2 --vbr-new") or 
- LAME 3.90.3 (modified version preferred) with preset APS ("--alt-preset standard").
For both LAME versions additional switches which would affect the mp3 quality are forbidden, especially no minimum or maximum bitrate limits.

thread_title: Update

message: "Game releases by the scene in iso format started in 1998. Before this period there only existed game rips, even if the full game was included. This is most likely the first game iso scene release: Heroes Of Might And Magic III released by CiFE on 1998-02-21. Since the game iso rules started on 1998-02-01, there might be releases from before 1998-02-21. Scene game iso is always rar.
These are the first and only scene game iso rules:  They never got updated because the game iso groups could not agree on new rules. Newer rulesets do not exist. The ones that are floating around from later dates are done by Unleashed and got never signed by any scene group. There are only some new unwritten agreements that are not always followed by all groups."
Putting this info here since it's not sourced and could be wrong. --Ondertitel (talk) 21:51, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
