It was popular to flood the forum. What did " flood " mean? Was it good intentions or bad intentions?
Using the term "flood" on a forum is usually a pejulation because it implies that a lot of the same information is repeatedly posted in the forum content rather than actually participating in the discussion. This behavior is seen as disrespecting the opinions and contributions of others and may be seen as a form of spamming or advertising. Therefore, using the term "flood" in the forum may be regarded as malicious behavior. However, sometimes forum administrators might use the term "flooding" to deal with inappropriate behavior such as posting a lot of low-quality content or junk mail. The use of the term "spamming" in this situation may be a well-intentioned attempt to help the forum management deal with spamming and inappropriate behavior more effectively. However, under such circumstances, they should respect the rules of the forum and community standards.
