Flaming is something related to hacking as it is very common to call other players "hackers" or "noobs". First, I'l say what flaming is.
If you flame then you complain - usually without a reason - about another player. So you tell him that he's a $&/§" cheating noob that has no skill. That's it basically.
If you flame then you show the other player: "I don't respect your skill." Therefore I'd consider it as being unfair. If you feel that someone is hacking, then don't start to write it. Wait a few rounds, and if you are sure that he is cheating, then say it once. Maybe others see that as well. And always remember: The other team has better chances to see whether someone is cheating or not as they can switch into the view of that person. SO just ask whether they can have a closer look on a possible cheater.
If you feel that you have to flame now, then you should take a brake and stop playing for half hour or so. Just shut down your PC, go outside and walk with the dog or stuff like that. If you stay in-game, then your anger will just grow and you will either go mad or flame.
This blog tries to show what is 'bad' for online gaming. What is not fair. What you shouldn't do.

What to do against hackers?
There are several things you can do in almost every game to fight hackers / cheaters. First, you should ask whether someone can kick him out of the game by votekick. This works in games like CrossFire or WarRock. But be aware: don't spam or flame as this won't help and will probably result in others not to kick the hacker because they think you are just a "QQing noob".
On the other hand, if you are sure someone on your team is hacking: Kick him. You should always be sure that the person you kick is cheating for real. It is neither good to kick out a legit player just because someone else said he were cheating.
If you caught a hacker, then report him! It is best if you can take screenshots and/or video material of the cheater. In games where you can save the full game as a replay (e.g. Crossfire) you can use this and send it to the company running the game. The support team will usually check your proof and bann the cheater if possible.
You can even go beyond this: Find out where the hacker downloaded his cheat and report the source file. But you should NEVER EVER download those files! They can contain viruses and your game account might be BANNED if a hacktool is found on your PC! Anticheat software like HGW or PunkBuster checks your PC for detected hack tools!
But e-mailing the link of a possible hack tool does help to get that hack detected fast, do it if you can!
