We tried that about 8 years ago. It was called the United Adult Sites (uas.org at the time). You couldn't get people together on anything for long and only then was it the biggest companies when a real big issue threatened their well being. Also those guys put in the money that went into helping all the little guys and scammers and they got tired of doing that.
At the end of the day it's like "Freakonomics" says and it's all based on human incentive and motive. People are driven by the desire to make money, that's why they are here. That desire when weighed against what is considered unethical is on a different scale for each person but you have to figure that Internet culture is so based on free everything that the side of the scale with self policed ethics is going to be light. The only other thing that can be added to that side of the scale is the fear factor of negative consequences which is barely enforceable so it remains light as well.
