Pirates had their own way of getting what they wanted. These ways, for the most part, involved extremely violent behavior. Pirates often used torture as a way to get the most amount of loot they could from ships they had taken over or raided. On the off hand that there was a captain who enjoyed doing the torture, a sadist if you will, they tortured enemies solely for the fun of it. Personally, this type of behavior does not sit well with me. Doing unimaginable things to humans just for a little extra loot and maybe some enjoyment is just not the way people should go about things. In addition, if a crew member steals any loot whatsoever from the crew, or if they flee from battle, they were to be marooned. Basically, they leave a member, or group of individuals, on an island away from any mainland whatsoever, to punish them. The Crew never returns for them and they are to be stranded and, as the pirate code states, "are sure to encounter hardships". This way of dealing with a bad crew or some particular members of the crew is rather sinister but not as sinister as what they put their enemies through. Nevertheless, i do not agree with any of their behaviors for they are terroristic and sadistic however you look at it.
