The act of throwing a thread in a discussion forum off topic, oftentimes so much so that the original discussion is unable to continue.
A common result of a troll attempting to have fun at the expense of people actually trying to use the forum.
A common result of a flame war between multiple users.
Commonly helped along unintentionally by people who are simply off topic, as well as the occasional Grammar Nazi

Here is an example as might happen in the forum of an unreleased video game:
Topic: Post your ideas for things you want the developers to put into the game!
Original Poster:

Grammar Nazi:
Man Original Poster! What's with all of the huge run on sentence! Use some punctuation while you are at it too. Also, don't say ur, abbreviations are for text messaging, no one's gonna take you seriously.
Troll:

Original Poster:
Hey, X-Com is still rated the #1 game of all time by a lot of people! Who cares if it's got dated graphics, and if you get the right version or a fan made patch you can run it on a modern system easy.
Moderator:
Troll, stop trying to derail threads, this is your first warning, two more and it's a ban.
And Grammar Nazi, don't correct people's grammar in a thread, if you absolutely MUST do it, send a private message instead so it doesn't clutter up the forum!
I see you two derailing a thread every time I log onto the forum. And Original Poster, get back on topic or I'm going to lock this thread,

The Panda Threat Level (PTL) is a subsequent result of harvesting Panda Points into an undesired amount. Although the expression of the level is different per individual the increase is paired with increased explicit comments, sexual harassement or obscene gestures.

Get the Panda Threat Level mug.A influential punk band in the 80's. They were instrumental in the formation of the DC HarDCore scene in Washington, DC. The band was fronted by Ian MacKaye and included Brian Baker on bass, Lyle Preslar on guitar, and Jeff Nelson on drums. The band is probably most famous for the song 'Straightedge'. MacKaye currently fronts Fugazi, and Baker plays in Bad Religion.
