It happens that a person without noticing it himself, deviates from the given topic for conversation and carries it away with a stream of red blood and a desire to share experience with fellow people in a completely different direction. That's when he starts to flood. What does it mean? If the moderator is kind - make a comment and send it to the floodplain, but if the evil one - hang a ban. And the second is much worse than the first.

At a smoke break

If you really do not like to deviate from the given topic, but you understand that the remark can do, then "offtopic" will come to your rescue - this is another slang word from the World Wide Web. You can write: "Forgive me for offtopic", and after expressing my thoughts "off topic." Such a message will be regarded as an excuse, but you will still flood. What does it mean? Well, since you apologized, then you will not be punished severely, although the offtopers are also not very fond of it. It is better to be brief, otherwise the moderator will again threaten his finger.
