Floodage Vs Boulet Du Forum?

FLOODAGE— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

floodage French forum slang for the act of flooding: posting many repetitive or off-topic messages or topics in a short time so that they push other content out of view. It is used as a complaint about spam-like behaviour on forums and is the noun counterpart of the verb « flooder ».

Origin:Wiktionnaire defines the noun « flood » as an anglicism for the mass sending of messages on a discussion system, with a forum example about filling the first page of the topic list, and defines « flooder » as the verb, derived from English « flood » with the suffix « -er ». Neither page lists « floodage » as a derivative, and no page opened documents this exact noun, so it is recorded as a regular French formation (flood + -age) that sits in the same vocabulary. Forum posts of 2006 found in search results explain « flood » as repeated messages. This entry describes the practice as moderators and users criticise it and gives no instructions.
