A software that causes flaming and/or flame wars when mentioned, discussed, or otherwise brought up within a community.

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 wordn00b/word had started an innocent thread about graphical differences between Half-Life 2 and Doom3, but when Brassmonkey came in, the discussion turned into a flamewar, until Abom|nation had to close it down.

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.
