Today the Internet is full of strange and sometimes incomprehensible phrases and expressions: spam, flood, offtopic and much more. It is very easy to get confused in this chaos if you do not have an idea about the most common concepts. The topic of this article is flooding, what it is, what it happens and what is connected with it. After all, probably everyone has heard this word, but not everyone will be able to explain what it means.
Flood - what is it?
Firstly, the meaning of this word on the Web is negative. Translated from English, flood is a “flood”, “flood” or “a stream of something”. Of course, Internet flooding has nothing to do with natural disasters. And in a figurative sense, this is really a stream of words, unnecessary information, which is deliberately brought down on users in places where they communicate.
Where you can meet the flood
Where it can interfere with normal Internet communication: in chats, forums, social networks, etc. On every popular forum you can meet a fluder - a person who deliberately floods and prevents other people from calmly discussing hotsubject.
What does a flood look like? What is this?
These are, as a rule, absolutely meaningless messages that the fluder publishes in a general topic after a short period of time. In this way, he disrupts the normal operation of places specially created for communication.
Flood can contain huge texts or very short messages. It can be a variety of sets of numbers, letters, words or sentences. In large messages, this nonsense is repeated several times in a row and takes up almost the entire page. A flood can also be various pictures of vague content. But the main thing is that it does not make any sense. Such behavior is usually punished by a ban (closing access to a forum or a specific topic). There is also a telephone flood. This is a kind of technical attack. A large number of requests are sent to the mobile device, as a result of which the phone loses contact with the satellite.
What's the point? Why are they flooding?
Firstly, in order to harm, harm, annoy and prevent people from calmly communicating on the Web.
Secondly, the flood is a kind of helper for hackers. During DoS attacks, this automatically generated traffic clogs the necessary Internet channels, which loads them and reduces the level of protection.
Third, no point. Just nonsense, lies and abracadabra.
Who is this flooder?
So, now that you know almost everything about flooding (what it is and how it happens), it remains to figure out who is involved in flooding. Well what forit's done, obviously! In order to piss off users, interfere with their calm communication. Who needs it? People who are offended by everyone and everything, with an unbalanced psyche and sick pride. Most likely, through the flood they assert themselves, feel their importance.
As a rule, these are losers who are not needed by anyone, who have a huge wagon and a small cart of complexes and who are afraid of everything and everyone and despise. Such people are not able to pull themselves together and change the situation, so they take revenge on others, blaming them for their failures. And flooding is one of the ways of such a kind of revenge.
