Do you consider NUKED releases still as scene release? Just to double-check what you wrote about MCG. On my pre sources, more than 95% of the MCG releases have been nuked. With a certain point of view, you definately could say that this is not a scene group, because most times they dont play by the rules - or the other way around: there are P2P groups that are able to follow the scene rules better than this group is (as you also stated in your post).
They can be treated differently. I personally also collect nuked releases for my collection, but I know people who don't want it. However, regarding the MCG, I only wrote that they are a scene group, cause they pred their rels according to the scene rules, although the rels themselves don't meet them, so everyone can include them in your own collection or not. But from my point of view, they cannot be compared to eg. funteek, who generally operated in a different area and purpose. Even if there are P2P groups that are able to follow the scene rules better than some scenes.

So if i get you right on that:
If I understood correctly the rules on this forum, I suppose it would be like that. But of course this "nonscene hierarchy" is completely relative, everyone can see it and treat it as they like, it's only to simplify the topic we're talking about.

I personally dont prefer to know more detail about the release group (for both, P2P and scene groups). So I would not seperate between a "one man show" and a 2+ person group. I also would not seperate between the different P2P network (this would also mean, that you need know the background of a certain release group). I'm personally not able to know what is happening in the torrent/webwarez area - but im pretty sure that there is a lot going on - not only on IRC/NNTP, but also on the WEB.
In turn, I like to know what I have in my collection and where it's from. But of course that is just my subjective approach. As I wrote above, I don't want to separate it somehow, I'm writing it only as information, if I have any.

I would prefer to seperate between Scene/Scene-a-like/non-Scene-a-like/crap+fake and maybe move the red line to not only inlcude "real scene releases", but also to somewhat "acceptable" Scene-a-like releases (rules may be: somewhat acceptable naming of the release, having a nfo and sfv - just as an example).
In the case of my own collection, I personally use the same principle as you wrote. That's why I have so many different p2p releases and I know a little about them. But on the other hand, I understand and respect the rules that are here and since they are, I think it's worth separating what is what so that there are no mistakes.
