I think this entry needs revisiting.
For one thing, the last sense ("to leave a tasteless message") should probably be labelled as Internet usage. And I don't think "tasteless" is right. I think it may be more like "off-topic" than "off-color".

At any rate, I have some gathered some material which I will add on the RQ when I have extracted the best bits.

Editor:
1) Another couple of references that mention nothing about "tasteless" or "flooding":
a) 仅仅说中国网民喜欢灌水和分享照片,那还太保守。
b) 灌水 "posting low-quality articles on BBS's"

2) Plumping:
Wp ~ Plumping, also referred to as “enhancing” or “injecting,” is a term that describes the process by which some poultry companies inject raw chicken meat with saltwater, chicken stock, seaweed extract or some combination thereof.
注水肉或稱灌水肉,是加了水以誇大重量增加牟利的生肉,是一種劣質產品
