Flagging
🤣 Rest In Piss, Flagging 🤣 | |
Smoking that Flagging pack tonight. |
Flagging is a type of booru vandalism/spamming where someone makes a bunch of low effort posts of a variant by photoshopping country flags into the 'jak. Its main purpose is to inflate the variant's post count, which pisses off many users trying to find gems, while also making the 'ru more annoying to scroll through due to all the coal clogging up the 'log.
When they somehow run out of countries (even doe there's only a few hundred) they also may start editing in American state flags, political ideologies or pride flags.
People who use this tactic are called Flaggots, both as a pun and because it's a portmaneau of "Flaming faggot" which is what they are.
Its possible, though hard to prove, that Slopjaks started as both a parody of this practice and as a satire of Countrywars in general.
Origin[edit | edit source]
The roots of flagging can be traced back to the Cobson-Feraljak War, where both sides spammed country flag edits in order to overtake the other side in post counts. The first example of flagging in action though was the Cobson Gangnam Style dance spam.
