Quality over Quantity

[qwertyup23]

Recently I've seen alot of threads where people just jump into writing an incredible episode without putting their readers into consideration.
I'm not a fan of reading very long articles and most times I think some posts ought to be simplified and summarized to get ease of attention and from my observation,  it seems most users confuse quantity with quality and think, writing very long post simply means the post has quality  which is wrong.

I've seen very short and straight to the point post doing extremely  very well on the forum and people ought to them learn from  them.

I do think that the problem with most newbies is that they often associate quantity = quality; which in fact is not always the case.

The more users that make their post longer, the more that readers would get very disinterested in reading their posts (though this is considered in a case-to-case basis). While posts may be long, I do agree with your statement that any thread should be at least concise and straight to the point to avoid any kind of spam or unnecessary information that are irrelevant to the post.

Reading long post gets me more tiring so I'm not actually a fond of it. It would be more convenient for the readers to read a short post but the contents are well explained and summarized. Unlike those long post that have no clear point of view, and even if we get to read the whole post, I just think that I still didn't get the whole idea of the post. So for me it's best to avoid that kind of post. Let's focus on the content quality and how it can help and leave a positive impression to the readers.

A quality post is not by the a countless characters we write but some people assume that a quality post is base on a post that is meaningful and someone will learn from your response, and a quality post gives you a lecture and mostly when the conversation is involve technical questions and bitcoin development, from the four or three reply even a two lines reply can give you the answers of what you wanted, sometimes some of the long post doesn't rhythm in sentences and some of their point always be pointless

And most of those long post have countless errors as well that’s why I prefer to make a thread that is short but precise, as long as the message I want to relay is present, for me that’s good enough. However, there are also long post that deserve multiple merits, that even if the article is long, it’s still well explained and the readers can easily understand what’s the poster is pointing about. But my worries is that most of us here gets easily tired even by seeing a longer post, so just a piece of advice, always stick to your point so you can avoid writing unnecessary thoughts or ideas.

This kind of work is mainly done by people who are new to the forum, they jump into writing different episodes without addressing the main point. And they think that making a big post line like this might be standard, but it will never be standard if you write stories unnecessarily without wrong points. Also, people are very fond of such long registrations because of which most of the people do not read the big posts very carefully and rather skip them. There are many users who post such posts with the aim of increasing the posts rather than shortening them, without points such as beelines that do not work, but they are never read carefully by another person. So I think to make good quality post not only increase the episode but talk about few points which is considered as quality post, and definitely make line for posting in short form that everyone will read and gain knowledge.

They will learn over time. We were all newbies at one point, and there were a lot of things that we didn't know, we obviously used to do a lot of things that we were not supposed to do that way, but as time went by, we learned everything little by little and today we are capable of discussing the mistakes of other newbies. So, the main issue is if they don't learn over time and keep doing that even when they get old even if their rank stays the same in here.

When you are learning and growing, your mistakes will mostly be ignored because people will see that you are at least progressing, but if you keep making the same mistakes again and again without showing any growth, that makes it difficult for people to ignore the mistakes you are making.

To me, when they say quality posts, I don't think that a two (2) line or three (3) line comment or thread is quality enough to be called a quality post.

Quality post has a lot to do with the message the post is passing to it's audience than the number of lines in a post. Do you know you can write many lines and still give out gibberish?

I remember when I was a newbie and I made a post, then someone asked me if that was the whole post. Since then, I decided to create my post with more lines so no body would ask me such a question again.

Maybe at that time your post needed some lacking lines to complete a sense in your message but that doesn't mean you've to always pour in many lines to every post you' create.

There are messages you convey in a post that doesn't warrant too many lines but if you insist on increasing lines you just be reducing the quality of your post and depressing the reader with much lines to read.

The matter of quality post is always confusing in the forum, especially for newcomers and most times I do not blame them because no matter however you look at the matter, quality post in this forum is largely measured by the length of the post. This is the reason that some managers will tell you that any post that is less than 150 words would not be counted. So this does not mean that whatever anyone is writting, they should make it unnecessarily long. They should not also be rules for you to make a post. There are some kind of discussion that two lines will be able to convey while there are some discussions that we need upto 20 lines in order to have the full understanding of the post.

That is right, but new accounts will think that they need lengthy words before getting recognized in the forum, not knowing that a two-line post that conveys a heavy message is better than a ten-line post that is full of spam and has nothing useful out of it. And sometimes, signature requirements on characters to be in a qualified post for payout also contribute to written or elaborating discussion instead of just passing the message in short words and moving on.

This matter really look confusing, even me I thought quality post is when the article is very long that will cover almost ten lines, but sincerely speaking is now I understand what the quality post means. I prefer the quality than the quantity, but sometimes it depends on the type of information they are trying to pass, I have the habit of not reading long article because sometimes when I start I use to forget what I read from the beginning due to the longness of the article, and also find it difficult to understand, but if the story or the article is short I grab it easily and my understanding is very fast, and also making a reply is very quick.

I faced the same thing too. I was thinking it was a lengthy post with lots of words and expressions to everyone to read not having the knowledge that just three line sentences would make meaningful thoughts and message passed across. Until I started reading through many posts and replies to see for myself and then I realised that it doesn't necessarily mean that one would write a long sentences to make meaningful thoughts but just fee words alone can do that better. 
As you have said, some requirements would warrant one to write such lengthy post with a broad explanations and facts alongside details to make up the requirements. These are sometimes what results to the lengthy posts you see on some threads.

Totally agree, certain topics do need to be written in detail and that's very much understandable(like a walkthrough for example), but in threads where details aren't really necessary and one wants to read several posts and alike.. personally it will be a TLDR.

Besides quality Information needs to communicate, user targeted, relevant and straight to the point..if it has these qualities then it should be considered as a quality post, just my 2cents!

Most users like to avoid writing such short posts for fear of being classified as one-liners. That's posters whose posts hardy cross two lines. Again, those who write lengthy posts most times do that to meet up word and character requirement for their signature campaigns. It's not as if their intention is didactic in anyway.

On the whole, I don't like reading lengthy posts except the posts are the OPs or the posters are good at making their narrative page turners.

Well I've always looked up to you and I've always known that you barely get involved in threads that don't seem serious especially from the tittle except you want to caution the user or have very important message to pass across.
Well I do agree that one of the reasons why people write very long post is to meet up signature Character count and I think that's not right since campaigns ask for 250 characters, there is no need stressing as just a 3 line write up could get you those requirements, so no need to write episode

If the post is substantial, not off topic then no matter how short it is, it can be a quality post.

Like when the question is only answerable by yes or no.  A simple answer of yes can be a quality post. Since it can help to clear the confusion of the one who is asking the question.

I believe what matters most in this discussion is the quality of the post we write, it doesn't really matter if they're long or short but they should have some atom of quality in them so the reader doesn't waste time reading something that won't add value to his life. We can't necessary tell people how to write because we have those that love to write on the forum and at every opportunity they get they'll want to experiment their feelings in writing while we have those that always love going straight to the point without any delay and both writing pattern should be welcomed on the forum. If the forum only gets straight to the point discussion then we won't have a continuous discussion on the thread and those are necessary to keep the thread alive (but obvious they have to be on topic discussion and not offtopic).

We have some members that are re known for this posting pattern and they're doing great as their contributions gets merited and we also have those that spent time giving us full details explantation and their posts are also doing well so again I say, the context of the replies matters alot. If there's a topic that I'm very familiar with I'll love to experience myself on those topics and when it comes to those that I have moderate knowledge on, I also try to stay moderate so I don't make a fool of myself. It's also a misconception that the more your post looks long the higher it is for you to get merited and we have to let go of that myth and focus on quality instead of quantity always.

I have never heard of forgetfulness when article is very long. I know it is possible but it should be rare. If someone is reading a meaningful article that has strong connections from one paragraph to another, there shouldn't be any room for one to forget what they have read.  They will only forget if the long article is uninteresting, in such cases, I do not even have the patience to finish reading the article.

Yes. Useful. and why is it still not optimal, I think that's still normal because each person also has their own individual guidelines regarding different word limits, format and tone and what to write in their posts. Even if the delivery is felt to be lacking or something else, someone will respond to contribute and not leave the discussion.

That's right, it must have meaning, be original, have regular words, be simple and easy to understand and have content such as subject, predicate and object.

Long posts don't necessarily mean all the content is on target, some have repetitive writing, some have explanations that are difficult for some members to understand. A good summary with a simple explanation makes it easier for the reader, even if it is written in just a few lines, it is also necessary to use simple language to make it easier for newcomers to understand the meaning of what they are reading. I'm not the type of person who is lazy about reading, but I often pass by writing that doesn't really benefit the reader.

Your opinion is correct, friend. Because for some people, reading writing or articles that are too long is very tiring. Because in the end can't get too many points from the writing. But even so, each member of this forum has their own writing style. Some tend to be short, some are medium, and some are very long. However, these three criteria can be categorized as posts with quality content. But it all depends on how smart the writer is. Because sometimes there are forum members who make short posts, but the content is useless and in the end many posts like that are deleted. However, there are also those who have a writing style that is not too long, but the content of the writing is very meaningful and of very high quality.

Likewise, with forum members whose writing styles are medium and long, there will definitely be those whose writing is of high quality and there are also those whose writing/arguments are of less quality.
So it can be concluded that each person/member of this forum has their own characteristics in terms of writing so that the meaning of what they write can be conveyed well. So in the end, it all comes back to the tastes of each individual on this forum. And this is where we have to be able to appreciate what other people have made (posts, replies) and have to be able to tolerate fellow members (as long as the posts are quality).

Exactly, I agree with you, it is better to go straight to the point, so that the person reading does not feel discouraged when reading that threads, many people don't like long articles, so it is better to write it in short so that everyone understands where you are ending too, but sometimes long article is very good because he is sure that you know what you are doing but he must be in point meaning quality, some long article is very interesting when reading because you will know what is talking about the wells are in good shapes some long article, people don't understand it because language he used will not be understood by everyone, and some newcomers won't be able know what his talking about, therefore it is preferable to use common English that people would understand your Words.
