Post quality matters than replying fast

[Smartvirus]

There is always bound to be misunderstanding in a forum such as this, where just about everything is typed and depending on your understanding of punctuations, you just might not read it right as typed by who ever is making the comment and that alone is enough to create a misunderstanding or interpretation.

There isn’t something really wrong about that, it’s a discussion and there is room for clarification although, you don’t have to hurriedly jump to making a response or respond to every comment you see on your thread or forum.
You give room for contributions and you might have someone come in with just the right respond that could best what you might have had in your thoughts.

I've took noticed that alot of users are always in a hurry to reply a post expecially newbies, I know it is a good strategies to always try to make your reply to be among the first or at least fifth position, because it would make it easier for other users to see and to read it. But in a scenario whereby a user came across a post and reply fast without having clear understanding about that post such reply may be seen as off-topic or not contributing at all. And if such act continue as your post are always around the first-fifth position it may lead to you being ignored by other users.
So anytime you see a post take your time to understand the concept before making any reply, for instance you came across a post about security and privacy and more. If you don't have much Idea about it don't jump in and quickly reply take your time read the post after reading do some research for better clarity and understanding. And if you came across any word you are not familiar with always do yourself a favour and use the dictionary because neglecting or Ignoring such  may cause you chances of getting a proper understanding about the post.So doing all this would help you in Acquiring more knowledge and also improve your posting skills, helping you in becoming a good poster.

Even if they reply first, it doesn't give room for understanding. knowing what the thread is talking about is the most important thing. Most of the newbies does that all because they want to earn merit, but forgetting that a post that receives merit is not the first to reply, rather the reply that is meaningful and can contribute to the welfare of the forum.

I've seen some people making their post on the second or last page and they are earning their merit, it all depends on the quality of what one is posting, any newbie that tend to rush in making reply will definitely post shit because it will not contain the quality standard required, instead, it will show that such user is trying to make himself got noticed, you can agree with me that you will need to make some kind of research and possible reference to a reply you may want to make on any post to give the right and accurate information and before you can gather all these, you would have seen more than five replies ahead of you, which doesn't mean that your own will not be placed on higher quality than theirs.
