Misuse of a safety mechanism, like a fire alarm, danger hotlines or report buttons on a website, to censor speech without regard to the intent of the safety mechanism.
A type of rulebombing.

Fire alarming is a problem, because it:
(a) disrespects actual instances of dangerous events the mechanism is designed to prevent, and
(b) causes people who have to monitor uses of that safety mechanism to show skepticism to future uses of that safety mechanism, since the number of serious instances are diluted.

Hey man, I went over to Becca's house during her little brother's birthday party, and I did a perfect fire alarm! They actually called the fire department!!!

Get the Fire Alarmmug. When people are evacuated from a building, usually during times of harsh, brutal weather, and are left standing in the blistering cold for a long period of time for no reason.
The fire alarm went off and we had to stand outside in the blizzard for three hours when there was never a fire to begin with
