Can you list the top facts and stats about Nukewar (warez)?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
In the warez scene, to nuke is to label content as "bad", for reasons which might include unusable software, bad audiovisual quality, virus-infected content, deceptively labeled (fake) content or not following the rules.[1] Duplicates and stolen releases from other pirates that do not attribute the original pirates will also be nuked.[2][3][4][5] When a scene release is "nuked", a message is attached to its listing informing other sceners of its "nuked" status, as well as the specific nature of the problem.[6]
Contrary to what the term implies, a nuke does not actually destroy offending content or prevent anyone from downloading it. A nuke merely serves as a cautionary flag to potential users. The person that uploaded the nuked content to a site will lose credits.[3]
