Your Definition

In [internet] usage, particularly forum message boards, a user who swarms a post with useless commentary.  Not considered a spam, as the user will usually post as part of a larger group of users, and the said user will usually think their comment is [complimentary] or in some way helpful, even though it is not.

The comment is:
1) Usually worthless.  "OMG, that's great!" is not as [complimentary] as they poster believes it to be, and only serves to waste the time of the [original poster].

2) Not well thought out.  The comment is usually quick, and does not justify itself.  No reason is given as to why the user feels the way he / she does about said topic, image, story, etc.

3) Part of a mob mentality.  Piranhas don't work alone, unlike most spammers.  Their posts are usually followed by a swarm of like-minded posts, fueling the useless flood of empty comments.

NOTE:  These types of comments are usually most prevelant on a forum centered around skills development. (Art sites, writing boards, game modification boards, etc.) Where a person skilled in whatever the forum centers on is easily attacked by piranhas and his / her post is quickly devoured.
