plural nukewars

  1. A situation where a single release is nuked or unnuked more than four times in total.

    When a release is not in accordance with rules, it can be made invalid. This is calling ‘nuking’. A nuke based on non existent rules or made up reasons can be undone – this is called and^([sic]) un-nuke. If the same release is getting nuked and un-nuked multiple times, it’s referred to as a Nukewar.
