The relationship between educational qualification and quality of post.

Do you think the level of academic qualifications and life experience that a member of forum has, has a direct influence on the quality of post that  he/she makes here on this forum?
Do you feel users who are known to be quality posters in various boards are individuals with high educational qualifications and vast experience.

Not entirely, ones academic qualifications can be reflected in the kind of post the make but that doesn't mean that everyone with high educational qualification makes good post and others make jargons. The quality of ones post greatly determined by the individuals level of determination, knowledge about what he's sharing though most time life experiences too matters alot.

It has effect somewhat.

In order to make a good post, you will need many things

• At least, acceptable, not broken English
• Better, with proficient English, well grammar, well sentence structure, and good vocabularies
• Knowledge about things you post about: Bitcoin, security, privacy, etc.
• In general, your education has effects on your post but your attitude to make good contribution is more important. From constructive attitude, you will spend more time to research, read and make helpful answers/ discussion

Not entirely,

I tend to agree, not all are fluently using the English language and can speak very well on it even they had a level of academic qualifications.
The quality of our posts doesn't determine our educational attainment or determine academic qualifications, some of them are just being lazy of making a quality post because they care about the quantity over the quality.  Let's say just because of the signature quota they will force to post unsubstantial posts.

You can make a good quality post if you're knowledgeable about it and I advise everyone doesn't interact on a topic that you didn't know which only can create spam.  Quality means, correct grammar and spelling, should be on-the topic and contribute to the community, and shouldn't redundant answer.  It doesn't matter if you're a doctorate or even master degree holder.

Not really. Even language isn't that important. Lots of people have made great posts in other languages and enlisted others to translate them.

I think it's mostly a matter of attitude, of wanting to help. You have several English speakers trolling the "Politics & Society" board, just to make their signature campaign's quote, and seldom (if at all) making a useful post, and you have others making great posts in broken English, or directly in a foreign language. I think nothing beats willingness to help others. Of course, you need to also know what you're talking about, and general knowledge also helps, but in the end, you can be the most knowledgeable guy in the world, but if you keep to yourself, you're useless.

It's true but it can't be used as an judgement guide, not all academic education and experiences of forum members are related to their posts because they have different fields of life and interests.

Post quality is relative depending on who is judging (with different levels of knowledge).
If knowledge level is 1 to 10 and mine is 3, then I can judge the posts of people with knowledge level 5 (in my opinion) are of good quality while it's not good enough from a level 7 point of view.

[jackg]

I think the experience part has the biggest weighting here.

If you're good at accurately learning/doing research then your posting quality will probably be at its best regardless of what education status you have (even if you can learn things better in another language).

[Mpamaegbu]

First, you need to get this idea of education qualification being equal to brilliance or intelligence off your head. There are lots of people who've high degrees they can't defend; no spark to show brilliance. When some tertiary institution graduates talk you will want to question the authenticity of the paper they hold as degrees. That's it. Having quickly dispensed with that ugly situation, let me say that one's academic brilliance has a way of rubbing off well on one's posts here. Being educated means being exposed to varieties of views and thought patterns as that's what books are for. Those two have a way of finding themselves in one's posts, whether those written in English or other languages. I'm one of those who believe that while English shouldn't be a yardstick for measuring one's educational qualification, those who can't write well in that language should be proud to maintain their vernacular than writing broken English. I enjoy reading well constructed posts, and not the other way round.

I've seen people with nicely written posts telling basically nothing, I've seen people with posts quite difficult to read, but containing very well thought informative things.
What I want to say is that while education and experience can help one create better posts, making a rule on this would be a mistake.

Partially correct. Basic education and knowledge about cryptocurrency is all one needs to fit in. A post written correctly with  less typos and grammar errors will reduce the quality of the post, discourage readers from reading the whole thing even if the content carries relevant information.

Bitcointalk is a forum dedicated to Bitcoin discussion. A professor in arts or science is just the same as a newbie who dropped out of high school when it comes to cryptocurrency. For example boards like Development & Technical Discussion, Bitcoin Technical Support are very specific. You can tell by the quality of posts written on these boards that posters know what they are talking about. I don't think they all graduated from MIT or Stanford, but I believe they read books about the subjects they talk about because they are genuinely interested.

[hatshepsut93]

A person with higher education probably written quite a lot of essays and maybe even some academic works, which easily puts them far above an average poster with severely broken English. Also people who studies math, programming, computer science, economics can use their knowledge when they talk about Bitcoin.

But I would say that the quality posters are first and foremost Bitcoin enthusiasts who are very passionate about Bitcoin and spent a ton of time in this community. Education is not a requirement, it's a bonus.

We should not take schooling for education, the first education a child will got is from home, but the first school are the basic classes. You do not have to go to college or university before you are educated, but going to school increase the chances of getting more educated.

It depends, people that are educated about bitcoin, altcons, economy, politics and society et cetera and people that find other boards interesting as a result of what they are exposed too should not find this forum different. It is not about how good someone is posting in English but how he can be able to express himself and in the process contributimg something meaningful to people.

Academic qualifications are not necessary for telling others about information or knowledge, and yeah life experience is matters for making a post more specious. For instance, If I really know about something or I really experienced one thing then I can share with you the whole thing very effectively because I was into that. For sharing real experience, I don't think it needs any academic qualification.
Academic qualification helped us for learning base concepts of any related things. For example; in this forum, all of us are mainly from crypto backgrounds, If we know much about programming then it could be easy for learning the blockchain, how it works, and its associated things. Specific qualifications are needed here to write effective post.
I think anyone who is in crypto industry, has a helpful mindset, he/she can help others in this forum.
You can also took me as an example; I'm doing a BSC degree in Medical Physics, where the academic qualifications does not effective here. All my sharing information is from real-life experiences or I know properly about those things.

On the contrary, I think it does. Writing is by far 99% a literal skill and one has got to be grounded enough to not only pass information but pass it in a meaningful way. By that, I mean the presentation of such information matters too and makes it more appealing. This is what education actually equips one with and as such, its a necessity for everyone who has taken up writing for a skill.

Intelligence is a continuous variation  that grows on individuals, your IQ from 10years of age and now is greatly different and so does your presentation too. This is the same as per your post quality on the forum, though might be grounded in a thing through an informal education process or any other learned skill, when it comes to writing or creating a post to be more appealing, you could always fumble. Your articulation, paragraphing and organisation skills would always be lacking. Education  takes care of all that!

[Upgrade00]

In my experience what an education does or should do, is make one teachable and curious about different topics. Schools would not prepare one to post constructively in a forum discussing a unique technology like bitcoin, But it can;

• Improve their use of language and construction of sentences,
• Build their ability to research on different topics,
• Make them more open to correction and the opinion of others.

mate the answer to the question you asked, is Yes, because knowledge is creativity and creativity is knowledge, if you are not academically sound you can find it very difficult to understand the system of creativity, the level of your intelligence contributes for research and enhance solutions to a problem.

Through the statement or explanation of user in the community will let you know that such user is academically sound, educational ability how to speak positive or negative about you.

Therefore, there are concepts of practice and theory. Having only theoretical knowledge, a person will speak in memorized terms, completely unaware that experience is of great importance. Those who have gone through this or that situation will most fully tell all the subtleties, in comparison with the usual theory. This applies to everything. How can a doctor who has never operated on a person tell a better story than one who performs operations regularly?
Therefore, education says little until we experience everything. See how juicy the posts of our gurus who know what they are talking about are, and how dry the posts look formulaically from those who have no experience.

[KingsDen]

Op pointed out educational qualification as a reason for making a quality post. I thought you would have placed experience in the other side of the defence to narrow down the debate.
However, both experience and educational qualification contributes the post. But I believe you didn't point out the most important, which is having a good writing skill and passion for writing.
Person who writes alot, with bitcoin experience will succeed here.
Some persons are good, but they don't have passion for writing, maybe change here to audio messaging and see them display.

The level of academic qualifications have influence on a post of a member if only the member have good understanding on what he/ or she is writing , the expression will be clear to anyone who reads  the post. But If the writer have no good understanding about what is been written, such post maybe seen as low quality post to people who read it.

Having educational qualification even to its highest level does not equate to moral upbringing, some can be educated but lacks integrity, some can be educated but yet behaves like an illiterate. Education is just an eye opener to civilization while personal distinction, modesty, integrity and loyalty were unconscious learning that follows personal interest and choice to decide. While education is a conscious learning taught by institutions.

You don't have to be an educated fellow before you can make a quality post, but education can go along way to polish your post with pleasantry savor and also help communicate in English which is the most generally accepted language. I also believe that to be able to read and write, education is the basic foundation to it, though we have educated fellows from various locales with a responsible sense of humour yet have not educational qualification.
