Translations:Meta:Flood flag/1/en

The Flood flag, sometimes referred to as a pseudo-bot flag and designed to prevent RecentChanges flooding, is a temporary user group that administrators can grant either to themselves or to other users when performing mass editing or log actions on a repetitive basis that is, or is likely to be, non-controversial. Though less common, global functionaries, inclusive of Stewards and Global Sysops, can also add and remove the  flag from their account, without involvement of a Meta administrator. Administrator discretion applies both to the length or manner in which the flood flag is added and to the reason(s) for which the flood flag is added.
