Bitcoin Forum

If you are very active on this forum then you already meet with this word, Quality Post !

What is Quality post really?
Since merit system implemented Quality Post word become one of the most used word. But no one describe what is quality post. When questions come about merit, at the same time answers will come about quality post. And this is the only truth that if you are not able to make quality post then you will unable to earn merit.

I don't care if there is other thread about this but I like to describe myself what is quality post in my opinions. May be other members will not agree with me so they can leave here their opinions also by reply on this thread. Perhaps it will help newbie to make quality post. Let me describe below;

1. Useful topic; I always consider useful topic as a quality post and I send merit them if I have. Those post or topics help other users,  that kind of post I consider as quality post. For example, you made a post about how to save your wallet, if your post is unique then obviously I will consider it as a Quality post.

2. Constructive reply; Its doesn't mean you have to make always new topic in order to make quality post. You can make quality post even others post by reply your own thought. Constructive reply means discussion on topic and make best answer or solution. For example someone ask how can I save my wallet, your reply should on this topic and you can share your tips. If its unique and best idea then I will consider it's a Quality post.

3. Infographics topic; Sometimes need make post with infographics for better explanation. For example how to sing a message with btc address, you can make this post with infographics, so other users will understand easily what you want to say. Most of forum people's aren't native English, so they will easily understand your explanation. That kind of post I will consider as Quality post.

4. Analysis post; You can make topic or reply with analysis. It could be about this forum or crypto-currency. Sometimes we can learn lot about this kind of post. Form example you can make analysis post about merit, trust and other crypto related. We can get new data from your analys, but your analysis should be unique. This kind of post I will consider as a Quality post.

5. Historical post; Most of us very weak on history really. Or we don't bother to know. So if you can make historical post then it might help us to know about something. For example you can make post about history of bitcoin. But your post always should be unique, research yourself and write it. For historical post you need to know everything about your subject. This kind of historical post I will consider as Quality post.

6. Experimental post; You can make experimental post about forum or crypto-currenc. For example you can make experimental post about blockchain, how its work and how could we improve etc. That kind of post I will consider as Quality post.

7. Suggestional post; Suggestional post is more important for newbie. You can make any suggestional post that would help forum users. Also you can make new and unique post about forum improvement. If your suggestion is unique and useful then I will consider it as a Quality post. Don't repeat old suggestions and don't just copy others ideas.

8. Help community; You can help community by lot of way. There is not any limitations, like expose scam guidelines about forum related or crypto related. For example somewhere you found phishing website, you can share it with community so that they can avoid it and save their money. This kind of post I will consider Quality post.

Now come to proper English,  this is the requirement of Quality post. Your English should proper like grammar, spell etc. Reality is we can't make high Quality post without know proper English. Although my English is broken but I am trying to learn more. So if you are weak in English then you have to give priority to learn it. Always you have to make unique post, it's very important to make quality post. Copy others post or idea will not consider quality post in my opinions.

However, I just share what is on my mind. If you can share about your thoughts, so newbie will know something new and they can make Quality post.

Apologies for broken English and long post. I just wrote this post to know more from reputed member so other user will benefited from it.

Not all have its proper English mambo jumbo when getting merit I myself don't have proper English and you don't have proper English also OP, still we got merit. Even then and than I don't know and lose vs loss or lost sometimes confusing still got merit. Nothing wrong with having a post with sources or have some idea from others. Even this post is from other users idea and I have read so many posts like this. People got an idea from other people not on my mind the only thingy, ain't no one is an is-land mate.

Sorry mate for my words just stating the fact. :D
Ain't no lemons here. Just saying the truth about this forum, most merited post now is just finding spammers, abuse, scammers, videos trolls or any troll post and people who are trying to have an idea that is already been rewind in this forum without checking their own mistakes. ;)

Never mind, but you should encourage newbie to learn. This topic as like a suggestion and you should give proper suggestions. Is it necessary to mention that we don't need proper English to earn merit although we know it. Should we not try to learn? Use of proper English increase chance to earn merit, I have missed lot on beginning. Your intention shouldn't just gain merit, your intention should make quality post. Doesn't mean that you will receive merit every quality post because every different people's have different judgment. For example this topic you didn't consider a quality post but some other might be consider it as a quality post.

So encourage people's to quality post then they will make at least good post.


That's called off topic.

I describe what is quality post in my opinions. You can describe your opinions instead of argument. So newbie could learn. Don't encourage newbie to forum politics.

What is lean? How to lean mate?

Ain't against anything I just want to say make your post or edit your latest post first before sending a message of proper English. You guide people but your English is also a broken record? No one says this to you but you have wrong English and think posting something like the one in META theymos where is your merit source will help you? No, you are just pointing out that merit source is like shit who doesn't do their work coz you have agenda of wanting merit source yourself.

No lemons, just activist here for the better of BTT. New year new life mate. ;)

I don't mate. I have been watching you and got some weirdo feeling of stinky smell on your account. (joke :D)
No argument here just me staking my opinion.

Happy Valentine's Day mate. :-*

Language barrier should not be a major issue, as far as one can communicate effectively for readers to be able to read through whatever errors the write-up may contain, then the message has been passed. It would be also be impressive to see progress in a users grammar over time, it shows effort and should be rewarded.

Learning a new language is not an easy task, hence there are local sections where one can discuss in their native dialect conveniently.

For me, a quality post is a post where you get knowledge from reading it. I like your conclusion which sorts of quality posts are very popular. A quality posts is always easy to read and that's important to consider it as a Merit worthy posts.

Another issue when it comes to bad quality posts is poor formatting. Formatting is important and can really ruin or improve your posts:  

- Bold, underlined and italic fonts as well as colors can be useful to give your text a structure, but don't use them too much. Especially too much colors can be very annoying.
- Use tables to visualize your data.
- Don't post text walls, divide your post in useful sections.
- Make proper quotes. Don't quote the entire OP or the entire post you want respond to. Using -snip- to shorten the quoted posts can be helpful.
- Don't use capslock in your posts.
- Don't increase the size of your text. Normal font size is pretty fine.

OP is a good example for a decent but good formatted post.


And sometimes it's better to keep a post short, sum up a point you want to add to the discussion to avoid a long post which can be said in a few words.

A quality post in my opinion is a post made with the sole purpose of either informing, educating or answering a users questions thereby adding value to the forum through positive contribution by the users involved. Now when this type of posts inrespective of their qualities are been recycled numerous times by other users, they lose quality to me with exception to few (e.g informative posts and replies answering OP questions.)

People are caring about post quality because they want merit to rank up account and get more BTC.

Most of users worried about post quality just want to post anything to get +1post. That's not how things work here anymore. Of course there are many spammers in old sign campaigns, but those users are less and less common nowadays.

Just read more than you write.
Take your time to write posts and you will have a good post quality and get merits.

Great informative post of the newbies and for those who might really be wondering what they must do to have a post that has good quality content.
The biggest aspect of all is to have knowledge of what you are going to post. Always make sure you know what you are posting and members will appreciate your efforts in every way

Mainly for quota and hoping for +1 as you said. Zero interaction between members and just answering some century-old OP. Yesterday saw two 2yo threads being necro-ed.

These people.

I guess below is the best topic to understand about high quality and low quality post.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091552.msg

Nice try OP. Its really important for our newbies to learn proper english. Without having this its not an easy task to participate on our forum several sections discussion. I beleive every thread that written by someone who really works for the forum has got a lot of things to learn.

Hey mate It doesn't matter if anyone take it funny just only for a little spelling mistake. I wish newbies will obviously get some valuable basic knowledge from your thread.

Making quality posts has stood in the way of many,in earning merits for quite a long time being on the forum,and the issue remains their posts lack the quality and content to be called a quality one and hence to be rewarded with merits
And just as OP has rightly pointed out basic factors that makes a good posts,more work on each of the points and definitely one would be earning merits frequently.
Quality posts are simply posts with useful and worthy contents

A "quality" post is oftentimes a subjective description. One man's trash could be a treasure to another. Pertaining to the Bitcointalk forum, your post would be deemed "quality" if it conforms to the groupthink of the merit-rich.

If you want to avoid politics, there are ways to provide unquestionable "quality" posts such as a service, analysis or new important information.

Through out all analysis, i had to ask  that what is the reason behind of most impact full statement in quotes?

Being good in English is not really a requirement for a quality post. Users with poor english can simply stick to their local board and contribute. I believe there are many forum users who do not write well in English but are knowledgeable in blockhain and crypto-related topics.

This is really useful for all members and covered all area about quality post. But recently I saw many new members created new thread and discussing about topic which is already exits in the forum. So I think OP could add that point too in the quality post

Think before posting

Before making a new thread use search option to find out if the topic already exits in the form or not? If it's already exists then you can contribute their besides creating a new thread. And if you think your idea is unique or something special then you can create new thread. But on the same topic so many threads not necessarily.

Hope it's help

I'll give you one more.

9. Any post that is helpful in one way or another, and or something that isn't just pure shit.

People are over-analyzing what a "quality post" is. It's simply just basically almost anything that isn't spam.

Impact is one character of a quality post. A post that can not impact on the reader in any manner wisely can not be referred to as a quality post. A quality post can be minute but still contain very useful knowledge in it

They should be as I know that there are still newbies still doesn't know anything what  quality post means or how should we know that the post is quality post or not. The information op provided is correct. Why does the quality post can be a help to all of us?
1.) Useful topic can be helpful and useful in future topics that is related to the topic been discussed before.

2.) Constructive reply will be easy to understand as it is constructed nicely or correctly using only the most or crucial informations about the topic being discussed.

3. Infographics topic can be very helpful to all of us if the topic can't be explain using sentences or words easily or you can't understand it right away so with the help of infographics the topic can be fully explained the situation or the topic without making or constructing long sentences or even paragraphs.
So creating or having posted quality post is really important to all of us and we could also benefit from it.

Newbies must have the desperation in ranking their accounts up. For them to be able to rank their account up they must acquire merits and to acquire one, they must reach the qualifications of quality posting. The forum was made for people's interest and benefits, they must have something senseful to get once they visit the forum so it will be informative enough and still keep its essence. The forum is tightly requiring the members to submit with the qualifications otherwise they will be banned.

The post which is informative for others is a quality post also if the post has fulfilled other doubts regarding that particular subject. In quality posts, there is always a clear agenda that is useful and unique also it covers the topic from many angles.

There are many definitions of quality post but in this forum i think the quality post is when you read all the previous posts in the topic and post something which is unique and relevant to the topic and that is not already been answered in the thread. If you only follow this one rule, most of your post will be quality ones.

How to Get More Merit Please Anyone Explain Me 🙏

Let me define a quality post in my own way as any post intended on a particular aspect to bring something meaningful as information or enquiry about the area it is intended at, whereby the target audience received the attention of the post and see it as something worth giving their total concentration on, the sender must be abke to carry the required detailed information to the targeted recipient and it is very important to think twice before creating a thread or post a reply, this is one of the reasons why some post are being referred to as off topic because they are extremely out of point.

There are some members who already described it. But not sure whether it is clear enough or not. Sometimes, I assume the description of Quality Post is quite subjective, it depends on the individual's perception. So, the answer can be varied and we can't strongly state which one is true or false.

Yes, quality post should meet the standard of correct grammatical, constructive, informative, meaningful, and factual. It is surely low quality or even shit post if the post is made by broken grammatical, hard to understand, no point, meaningless, or not according to the fact. About copying other people's ideas, it is a bad way to create a topic. Instead to call as quality post, it is probably categorized as a plagiarism of others' ideas.

You've been here for quite a long time (2018), you should know better that making all your posts in the bounty section isn't going to get you any merits, you get merits through quality and constructive posts that you make, but with your post history looking that way, i'm afraid you might struggle to ever add to the single (1) merit you've earned on the forum thus far. If you are serious about being a useful user in the forum, then change your posting habits, or nothing is definitely going to change for you.

short concise and clear question LOL. When you have been on this forum for a long time and ask "how to get merit" you will only be directed to a lot of threads discussing getting rewards. You are not trying to improve your post, be a good contributor, and build this forum. There are many things you can do to earn merit. You have less effort to achieve that. When you have 1008 posts and only get 1 merit, of course, your posts are just trash posts, social media bounty tasks that are completely useless LOL. no one will give you merit if you keep doing it.

Who the heck bumbed this topic?
This isn't to discriminate or make anyone feel bad but I'm afraid I'll have to say this out. how in God's name does anyone understands this whole Post ?? The original meaning is buried in that discontinuous language impediment, holy shit! I know that a language cannot really barrier communication but how TF would someone not improved since 2019? and his writing style doesn't change?? It's Messy.
On the other hand, I've learnt a little from the scraps that I could understand and I think since someone from the first page had said that we've got something like this before, then I'd better go look up for that.

Thank you for providing this very important content especially for the newbies like me to more about rules and regulations here in this forum and also to produce more good quality content so that the newbies can also learn especially the basic knowledge about cryptocurrency while earning.
