What does sage do, is that a term for flagging?

for anyone who doesn't know, sage is the stem of the japanese verb 'sageru' meaning 'lower'
'sage' lowers the thread in priority, whereas 'age' raises a thread.
the more you know, the more you can enjoy 4chan

Wow

The sageru thing is correct, but sage does NOTHING but to post in a thread without raising it to the top of a list.

You sage, someone posts one second later, nothing was accomplished.

Saging is pretty much like a car horn; people just honk their horn when they are frustrated and need a button to slam their fist on, it does nothing productive.

Negatory
Sage doesn't lower a thread's priority, it simply does not bump the thread, while an age bumps it (even though any post even without an age attached will bump it to the top)

Basically, as the saying goes

Sage does nothing

The only thing is DOES do is add to the post count, so that eventually a thread will reach its posting limit and can no longer be bumped back to the first page. Though this only happens after 100 posts or so.

while it's true, it does nearly nothing, there is a side effect of sage
once a thread hits a certain amount of replies, it can no longer be bumped

on occasion, you will see a thread full of sage replies from the same person, because they wanted to prevent the thread from ever being bumped

if anyone replies normally during the sage spam, the thread is still bumped as normal, but once the reply limit has been reached, unless posts are deleted, the thread won't be bumped anymore

i think the rules say you aren't allowed to do this outside of /b/ though

>i think the rules say you aren't allowed to do this outside of /b/ though

They do and it it's usually enforced.

Sage also has two other entertaining purposes though:

1) Expression of disapproval. A sage gets attention, and even when only used for the innocent purpose of not bumping a thread, is assumed to mean someone thinks the thread sucks ass. Which will either draw more sagers and trolls to kill it, or more trolls to keep it bumped until deletion.

2) Sageing REALLY pisses some people off. And it's good, clean fun to sage a suck thread, and watch the OP jam a broom up his ass about it.

You can't post images past 100 images

as for regular post bump-age, it's something like 500. In other words, unless there's a shit ton of you saging, or you're one really dedicated faggot, you're doing nothing, better to ignore/report/minimize the thread.
