NUKED (warez)
A cracked game, game DLC, video release may be NUKED for several reasons. It may be because the group responsible for the release requested it, or there may be something actually wrong with the release. When a release is nuked, a permanent mark is placed on it, and it stops being actively promoted or distribited. Often, a “REPACK” will follow from the same group, fixing the problems, or another group may release a “PROPER”.
When a "warez" scene member’s release is nuked, managers of the topsites and other distributors obliged to warn their users of the nuking, and the reasons for it. The user responsible for the release can lose respect in the community, and may also be punished in the form of a ban or fine of “credits” within various topsites.
