flamewar
A heavy
discussion on wordforums/word that usually ends in total chaos. Insulting words are used frequently. Often a flamewar is started by a wordtroll/word, either in the wordthread/word title, or in an wordofftopic/word wordpost/word that is added to the
thread. wordAdministrator/words will often close
a thread if it has turned into a flamewar.

A thread in a forum where posts get too out-of-hand and result in chaos and spamming/
flamming. Usually, flamming occurs between two members and flame wars occur between large groups of members attacking others. Administrators of the message boards will have to close
the thread if this happens.
Example:
"
It started out as a discussion
poll but quickly turned into a
fu**ing flamewar."
