Quality over Quantity

[Jaycoinz]

That’s true, so many instances of writing a very long article and talking of same thing over and over again has confused many people in this forum, most especially the newbies.
I will advise that when writing an article one should pick out the vital parts to discuss and make it brief so that other can read and be enlightened on it.

I totally agree with you here, it always quality over quantity, but for beginners like me please pardon us because we are most times not properly oriented,  we just want to feel active, but as I saw this post, you really caught my attention and for a matter of fact you are right, quality over quantity.

The best advice is for the person to go for quality and forget about even buying them because there is nothing more appealing than. Nowadays, considering the price you will spend when you go for quality, a lot of people will rush and go for quantity just because of their pocket. This mentality is killing the poor because in the process of going for something cheap you will realize that you have even spent more and that is what he was aviod.

Each user's writing and explanation style is different, sometimes it is long like a wall of text that is difficult to read. Sometimes there are also short but meaningless ones, and it all really depends on knowledge. There are long posts but they have meaning, but short posts that are concise and clear are the posts you might expect. It's up to you which one you want to get, it's not a problem. But you can't change someone's style easily, and if their posts repeat themselves without any meaning then report them as spam.

Shouldn't the quality of the post be what is looked at? I mean, the post can be long or short, it shouldn't matter as long as it is informative. This is just my opinion.
I've been on this forum for a while and although I've not been active and still new, I've read a lot of posts. Some posts need explanation and it has to be long for it to be fully explained.

I agree that there are posts that are just long and full of nothing, but condemning long posts shouldn't be the way to handle it.
I'm still relatively very new here, so I stand to be corrected.

Exactly, quality is what shoukd be looked at irrespective of the post length and basically I have no single issues with the length of a post provided it is quality  and informative but where the issue lies is with people who make unnecessarily long post that end up having no quality or passing no relevant information maybe in cause of making the post seem having quality.
What I'm saying in general is that, some persons at some point confuse quantity with quality and some persons think that simply because is lengthy,  it doesn't have quality but that isn't the case as I've also seen very short post doing absolutely well.

This also sometimes happen to me as make post with much words without considering the readers. The funniest thing is that I myself most times fine it difficult to read post with much words. Like OP has said, it's better to be small with quality rather than quantity.

I'm glad you already realized this and realizing one's mistakes is the first step to changes and inhope you try to make adjustments to your writings.

Well, it’s not actually on the length of the post that matters, but it’s how the post is written precisely and direct to the point. While some posters often resort into writing long articles especially that all details should never be missed because they’re all important to make the reader understands better, but let’s also consider that reading long articles is time consuming and it will only make the reader gets bored and tired eventually. That is why as much as possible, avoid making long articles, it will only confuse the readers the main point of the article.

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.

Basically it's about orientation, most persons have got the orientation that they must make a length post to gain attention enough and merits probably because they think quantity means quality meanwhile it's not applicable in most cases, like you rightly said some straight to the point post even gat more quality than some episodes.

I think this post is most applicable and important for newbies so they can be properly oriented, in a bid to get a writing pattern they should also have this at the back of their minds too.

Well spoken and is good seeing newbies with more matured minds and your profile already bookmarked and I think I owe you one for this straight to the point post as well.
Basically I don't have issues with long post but I have issues with people confusing quantity with quality and in some cases, an informative post can be long without an offense and not the other way round where people write very long post and after burning your time to read, you discover the writer was only talking about one same thing.
I also agree with you that it is also an orientation guide that causes writing very long post and most times, when people introduce the forum to others, they give them the orientation that longer post attract more merit which is wrong

Long posts may contain new knowledge that must be conveyed coherently and regularly. maybe it's okay to make a long post like that.
However, if the post is like a copy-paste of the article, it will clearly be very annoying. why not summarize the main points of the information shared so that it is shorter and the purpose of the information can be conveyed briefly and simply.
We must still emphasize the forum's purpose for discussion, the information shared may be long or short. and each member's writing style is also different. but hopefully whatever is created will still have content.

It can be so confusing sometimes before you finish reading the article, you may even forget what the article is all about. Despite the fact most long articles contains details information of what the writer is talking about but it should be precise and direct then if the reader ask for more emphasis then you can explain more to them on what they want to know about your article, my own opinion though

Well most people mistake quantity to quality and vice versa. The quality of a post doesn't depend on how short or lengthy a thread is but it depends on the body and information it carries.  Lengthy post shouldn't be a problem except it didn't carry the necessary information, trust me there are  some thread you will be reading because of the information it contains you will be interested to read .
However,  not all lengthy post are useless some are very interesting

Actually I’ve never been against long post but where I have issues and concern with is people who write incredibly very long post without considering the readers and most times, you have to read a post to the end or almost the end to grasp what the op is actually trying to say and just as I’ve said in the past that the quality of a post doesn’t necessarily have to be judged by how long it is because I’ve seen very short and precise posts that were constructively written and meets all other criteria’s and there are also very reputable members of the forum who writes very short post but are very influential on the forum and some of those users are also given preferences in signature campaigns which is a clear sign that post quality doesn’t lie in its length.

I believe that those who can simplify complex concepts in a clear and concise manner are truly smart. Many folks fall into the trap of thinking that explaining things with complicated terms makes someone a genius and looks cool. In reality, that's not aligned with the goal of enlightening others. It's the ones who break down intricate ideas into straightforward explanations that truly shine. So, let's appreciate those who make things easy to grasp rather than those who add unnecessary complexity. It's about making knowledge accessible to everyone, not just the select few.

I agree, many people prefer brevity and clarity in their messages. Some people believe that long texts are not always necessary to convey information. It is important to find a balance between length of text and content in order to attract the attention of readers. There are very few topics that can be read with satisfaction.

[Promocodeudo]

This happen here often, people create thread, not minding how the audience being the contributors will feel, I know that threads are not created to entice anyone because what matter is the information that is attached to it, every is supposed to convey a good message that will trigger users to come up with their various opinion, I don't believe in versed writing, I go for a piece of writing that solves the problem with good quality, creating thread all the time will course this, but taking much time learning and relearning will help to come up with good threads that tend solve users problem, passing your information to readers must not be in large text, so that many readers will be interested in what you are bringing to the board.

Sometimes a long article writing makes no cogent point of understanding during the reading because the read will not be concentrated when reading a such article, but their is something I understand concerning long writing, some people think that long composing article is what makes you a quality poster in the forum, but I do stand to say that long article is not what makes some of the writing or some of the writing styles to be good or bad, so an article quality is measurable by how meaningful is the article not by the length of the characters
