sageru?
Anonymous
Are you talking about this? Because I dont understand a word of it:
Sage
(Japanese, pronounced "sah-geh", short for "sageru", meaning "to lower") On both Futaba and 4chan, placing "sage" in the email field when posting prevents a reply from moving a post to the top of a page. As posts stop being bumped when a certain number of replies (which varies from board to board) is reached, sage can sometimes prevent crappy posts from ever returning to the top of the page. But it usually doesn't, because trolls tend to deliberately bump any saged thread they see. Some trolls also use sage as part of their repertoire, abusively (and often repeatedly) saging good or just randomly-chosen threads for no reason except lulz.
The sage feature has also spawned a visual pun involving the herb sage (whose name is spelled the same way, but pronounced /seij/); people will sometimes post pictures of the herb itself or a canister of ground/rubbed sage or an image of the Sega logo with the letters rearranged to "SAGE" with a saged post for emphasis. There are also a few "sage" image macros featuring buses; this dates from early 2005, when "sage" was wordfiltered to "bus" on /b/. Occasionally pictures of characters classified as sages (Tellah from Final Fantasy IV being popular for this purpose on /v/) or named Sage are also used.
