What differentiate a quality post from a quack one ?

[uchegod-21]

Fuck quality! Say when you got something to say, and that'll be enough.

No! No one should "fuck quality," even as saying what you have to say is a valid point. You might not need that most polished grammar or tone, but still, if you poorly construct what you wanted to say, don't you think the value could depreciate or be lost altogether? Goodly written post will surely be more engaging, while badly written one could sway the reader away.

In simple terms, we need to make emphasis that posters should just ensure what they are writing is clear and easy to understand. Many writers think that quality post means big grammars and an overly formatted post. Yea, just say what you have to say and leave all the unnecessary edits just to make the post look quality. A reasonable post that has value won't be difficult to understand. Just make it simple.

So, do you mean that a post that doesn't make any sense can also be called a quality post? I don't think you are making any sense with this statement, because the sense of a post is one of the main things that makes it a quality post. No matter how good or correct your English is (if you are writing in a global board/section), your post can't be considered a quality post it doesn't make proper sense based on what's being discussed. So, quality does mean the post should make sense.

 
By making sense I don't mean the post should be completely stupid. I simply meant you don't have to congest a load of information, trying to prove you are smart or something.

You may end up confusing your readers even more. Just be realistic. A post can be as simple and short but will pass one message that majority would gasp.

A quality post is characterized by first being consistent with the discussion made in that very thread, it's usefulness to the community and it's ability to contribute effectively to the goal and aim of that thread. It has nothing to do with grammatical correctness although that can be an advantage because it helps drive the original idea of the reply with more precision but as long as the reply stays relevant to a thread its quality enough, hence others can either contribute to it or counter the notion.

Well, I would like to add something in it, say whatever is needed and say it with some good words so others can get it. That's more than enough to continue a discussion and make it interesting and helpful at the same time.

Oh yes, you both are right. May be it's easy for me to just pour my thoughts without doing any further gymnastics, so I said what I said.

... and this post made by me is considered a quality post.

Lol

[YOSHIE]

so what are the things that differentiate a quality post from a quack post ?

While you have been on this forum, perhaps you have visited several boards that talk about various discussions, such as adding educational value, interesting visual posting words, educate directly or indirectly and maybe entertain yourself and others, that's what quality posts mean.

On the other hand, have you ever seen posts on certain boards that were made aimlessly, not useful or perhaps you have even seen posts without planning, which is what is called careless posting.

Another difference between high quality and careless posts, perhaps you can also see from viral posts and are often ignored. From the explanation above it is clear which is quality and which is careless.

Once a post is not a quality type, then we should regard such as spam, because it does not meet any of the criteria to a quality one, we have to understand what "taught" means, because that could be the only way we could accurately judge for a quality post whenever we try to pick on any, a post must come with a purpose and that is where the taught come in, after the poster realized the need to why he should make that particular post and not for anything sake.

Thank you bro for counting entertaining posts as quality posts as well. I think you are first person who said that, lemme hug you!

It doesn't make sense to consider a post as spam if it lacks quality. Sometimes a few users can't write proper posts and a few newbies might post generic information and those can be considered are low quality posts but calling those posts as spam isn't accurate.

There're users who use very few words in their posts and yet those posts make full sense, I won't call those posts quality posts but I will neither call those posts as spam posts because they're according to the topic of discussion. Those posts can't help users but they're okay posts for some people.

A quality post is a post that is helpful to other members of the forum and beyond. It could be useful guides, answers to questions like the one you just asked. For a post to be described as a quality, it most be informative, most not be a vague statement and most be in line with the OP.

If you most start a thread you should search if such topic already exist before posting, a post generated by a ai, plagiarism of content is not considered quality, it is greatly frowned upon by the community. Just stay on point, help other members where you can with useful information, idea and answers,  that is what is considered a quality post.

You have said a lot and I agree to everything you said here on post quality, so what I just want to do is to add a little bit to what you have already said concerning post quality. I know that post quality differs from one person to the other, because what I may see as quality, might be shit posting to another if it's against the other persons believe, but I believe that any post where the right knowledge is being shared is quality post.
But take note that someone may be trying to pass knowledge across, but he may be passing the wrong information, at that point, he is shit posting because he is practically misinforming newbies or those ignorant community members on a particular subject, which I think is even worse, because it's misleading.

- When quoting, only quote the thing they are answering to (not the full post).

It's quite a challenge for spammers, especially in threads where they frequently call for investment (the well-known megathreads). Entire walls of citations are posted there, and the trick is to always include posts from the meritsource in the citation. This attracts attention, with the hope of gaining merit. Talking about how they bring something new to the conversation is pointless, I think. The important thing is to cite and become visible. OP has apparently abandoned this account, but their daily visits to the forum are still visible to all of us.

OP, have you heard of cookies?

Yes, that's what so many people will think off...If a particular post is not quality post and other posts on he or her profile is quality post, it may not consider as a spam, rather "it's an off topic" Spamming is when almost all your posts is not readable and also not understandable...So when you see a post that does not meet the forum standards, report the post..If the particular user receives so many post reports, those posts will be deleted by mod and it may likely be temporary ban, only if the user many posts are deleted.

How come I didn't know this trick when I was a lower ranked member?
You know I applied all the available legal means of earning merits and I did earn them, but I am totally oblivion to this tactic

[Daniel91]

I understand that it is difficult for new members, who do not yet have much experience in crypto, to write on this forum and that they do not know what to write about.
However, it is a bad habit to try to write just for the sake of writing and to show some activity and possibly try to progress on this forum.

It's only whether they are ready to learn and have enough dedication on learning. It's true for actual newbies, if are ready to learn, can learn about the forum and Bitcoin very quickly. It's only difficult for lazy newbies or people who are not actual newbies but want to make topics for asking questions not to get the answers but mostly to get merit. These people are not ready to learn and will continue posting similar topics, posts, and questions time to time.

I agree.
It all depends on the person and their motivation for joining this forum.
Some join because they are interested in bitcoin, technology, mining, crypto trading or some other crypto aspect and want to learn from the experiences of others.
Others join the forum because of the possibility of earning through signature campaigns and their main goal is to collect merits as quickly as possible and achieve a higher rank, and they write wherever they can just to achieve this as soon as possible.
From the personal history of writing on the forum, it is easy to see the motivation and reasons of each member for joining this forum, and it is up to other members to reward honest approach and effort and discourage those who are here on the forum only for personal gain and profit.

It should bring value to the table..

Or, as others said - be something worth looking at.. be it funny, interesting, or just moving the convo That's my view on it.

Thank you bro for counting entertaining posts as quality posts as well. I think you are first person who said that, lemme hug you!

I like this gesture though, and I have seen many funny posts on this platform that have gained attention and merits raining like water on them because of how constructive and funny the posts are. Funny enough, it also attracts people to the thread to comment and make more fun of it to the point that the thread exceeds a good number of pages and is counting.

The hug is welcomed and very comforting.
