What is a Quality Post?

[qwertyup23]

Post that answers a question:

It starts with this how to determine a quality post.  No matter how it's lengthy it is as long as it answered questions.
But usually here that has a signature campaign that follows the required length of the post.

That's good input and nothing else to add but one thing that I suggest is that surely you'll have a quality post.  Never interact with a topic that you don't know because it creates a nonsense reply or it's off-topic.

This actually sums everything up- a post that answers a question, provides some insight, shares some knowledge are one of those qualities and factors of a quality post. This seemingly and relatively easy task is what most newbies (and even some veterans) take in consideration. Most of the time, whenever they see the title of the thread, they non-stop comment without even reading the discussion of OP or even some replies.

By answering the question, this will definitely get you in the mood of creating a quality post all throughout. If a newbie wants to increase the chances of gaining merits, then this simple yet forgetful advice would help them in their forum journey.

OP has really made some crucial points to a quality post no doubt, but I'll suffer by arguing that a quality post is subjective to the reader in context. For what might seem to be of a quality post to Mr A, might be said to be of no quality imprinted to Mr B.

In other words, irrespective of the criteria that be about a quality post, our discretion towards what could be regarded to as a quality post generally is subjective.

Thanks for opening our eyes on how to view quality posts. This thread is very useful for beginners who are still curious about posts that can be considered quality. Post quality is subjective, not all posts that are written at length can be labeled with quality. One line posts that answer other users' questions can also be considered quality, meaning that posts will be considered quality if they are put in their place.

The actual quality of the post is Relative. I, you and other users are not able to assess the quality of the posts we write, a quality post can only be seen from the eyes of other people. I am also very sure that you will not dare to say what you write in this thread is of quality, but I will say that the thread you just created has value (quality).

Quick question OP, is this your topic a quality post? Some will agree while others will disagree. I believe most old users of the forum will disagree because this type of topics has been discussed numerously on the forum so seeing it repeatedly kind of seems spammy to them as such they deem it not quality of their merits so once again quality is subjective and shoudn't be defined generally. Personally I consider an on topic discussion as quality, it doesn't matter if the post is informative or just a question. Provided you're not spamming or trying to make your generic reply sounds reasonable and you're on point with the discussion then you're contributing positively to the forum.

Your reply mightn't be helpful to me but it could be to others and bringing about a totally new discussion. Everybody cannot be educated on the same level so quality could come in different ways. Just be original when responding to posts on the forum and don't try to look smart with others thoughts by copying and pasting their contents without giving proper acknowledgement.

Good work OP but is quality post this complicated? Many newbies may get wary or cold feet in trying to make a post that is quality seeing that there may just be a rule to it. Some times trying to hard is doing less or more harm.
A quality post can be as simple as a Newbie inexperience question on things they don't understand. Or something they just solved. Take you time guys a post that has you level of reasoning and doesn't constitutes nuisance, can have the pass mark of a quality post.

When you say a quality Post, we have different way you can make a quality post, so i want us to understand that a post that is a solution or answerable to problem is a quality post, A post that educate us of what we don't know and not familiar with, is also a quality post. So therefore a quality post doesn't have a measurement, because sometimes a post mr A seen as quality, mr B might not regards it as quality, it depends on individual understanding towards your post,  so that's the reason while not everyone merit a post you think that it's of a good quality.

[Jatiluhung]

OP! one example of a quality post is yours on this one.

Quality posts are sometimes subjective. because everyone sometimes has a different assessment, because everyone's standards are sometimes different. But in general, the characteristics of a quality post are indeed what you present in your writing.

Even an explanation that is presented with the right nuances of words that can make the reader's mind imagine what the author means is also a quality post. like the words in a novel, we read the writing (the arrangement of letters) but our minds project a complete image like a cinema.

Newbie nowadays thinks that having exaggerated post into a topic is like a quality post that's why some of them are trying to copy-paste from google, tip for the newbies to this thread for your rank up, based on my experience I just share my knowledge and skills here in the community and also contributing needed by the members seeking for help and not just only me but our era becomes a newbie at the same time and keep motivated to share our knowledge and will continuously do that because that's the purpose of the forum sharing of information.

While there aren't any surefire methods for writing high-quality posts, there are some measures you can take that will help you have better posts. For example, proofreading is important for your post's content, as well as for its spelling and grammar. If a reader sees a post with many typos or grammatical errors, he or she may dismiss it immediately. In addition to proofreading your post before publishing it, you can get a second pair of eyes to look at it, perhaps a colleague or friend who knows English well, and make suggestions. The most important thing is to post something that is worth reading. If you find something interesting, it is worth thinking about it in detail and sharing your opinion with other people. It takes measurably less effort to put together something that is of average quality, which is why I'm okay with only "just okay" quality posts as long as they engage people to want more discussions about it.

Nice write up buddy.
Op has always been making useful threads like this and It's so satisfying to see how he's realized its significance, and have kept the consistency. Kudos!!
I believe new users troop-in every single and ofcourse, a self oriented thread like this could guide 'em on the forum's operatee. Something like "how to post links" as he said - is something I learnt on a thread, from an OP which, it was last edited on 22/2019 (you could imagine the time it has stayed just to educate me)? So I'd encourage every new user to follow the rules and etiquettes as well as FAQs that have been analyzed above. This could also help to reduce spamming this section of the forum? Yeah?

A Post that can stand the test of time:
Some posts could be quality today and lose its quality next week. But when you see a post that is monumental. Even after 5 years, all the information therein is still fresh and usable. E.g In the famous I AM HODLING post, the idea in the OP will remain valid as long as bitcoin lasts. He explained that he wasn't a good trader who will understand the signal of bear and sell and know when to buy again. He decided to Hodl and therefore doesn't lose.

And as likely said, this is an example of a quality post, as it has all attributes listed above and could equally still stand relevant even in the next 5yrs, in as much as the "bitcointalk.org" forum still exist,  and people eager to know what does a quality post actually contains.
And in as much as the new to writing a quality keep increasing, so will both Newbies and anymoe interested be know to makes

I already said Quality is subjective, but with all modesty, this thread we are on can generally be said to be a quality thread. The thread is very unique, such that even if you search the whole forum for those threads that has discussed similar topics, you will understand that this thread stand out. It didn't copy any of the old ideas or method, from the top to bottom of the post is unique.

This is justified in the quote below from Op;

Post that states an old idea in a new way:
There's hardly a totally new idea, but your ability to refine a general idea and present it in a more unique way could make your post a quality one.

Speaking about old members not finding the post worthy for their merits because it is not new to them. See, what I said in the introduction.

It will be fine to understand that quality is largely subjective. It's also related to the mood of the reader at that particular time. If my portfolio is 45% in minus, and I am scanning the forum, a simple text like "HODL bull is near" will be more quality to me than a comprehensive guide

Anyone from senior member to legendary member has already known what a quality post is, so this topic doesn't in any way solve their problems. It is fine if they don't drop their merits. The once that merited the post didn't do so because the post helped them, maybe to appreciate the efforts of the Op. And that is what you always do to encourage good topics. There is hardly anything in this forum that you are not aware of, yet you kept giving out support to numerous users.

A quality post needs not be complicated or maybe be in exaggerated form. Even if it’s simple, as long as it’s direct to the point and give solutions to the problems, and brings us new ideas to ponder, that will always be a quality post. And basically, if you create a post based on your own experience, the post will become more reliable.

Regardless if it’s short or lengthy, as long as it answers the question and bring solution to the problem, that will always be considered a quality post. And I think that’s the main purpose of a signature campaign, to create quality and reliable posts that will bring out valuable ideas. Other than that, e everything is considered unvaluable or low quality posts.

Thanks for this post it looks so interesting to me because I can know the kind of post I will be posting now, I will make it look attractive to the read. Making a quality post always make them have interest in your post all the time.

[Ojima-ojo]

From my slim experience in the forum, I have realize that post quality is about individual perspective and what mr A consider to be quality post may be low value post for Mr B.

So the please on person's perception play a vital role in measuring quality posts.

[romeitaly]
