Topic: Enough of bad posting (Read 411 times)

I take two replies (yours and DdmrDdmr's as examples):
Whenever you want to leave replies to multiple users in only one post, what you should do is simple:
1. Quoting the original post, including auther name, link to topic, and time.
2. Separating orginal post into piecies in order to leave your comments. At this step, only the first piece will have full original links (author, topic, identifying number of post, and time). The rest pieces of the same person's post will be quote with pure quote block.
3. When you finish your comment for the first person, you should simply put hr to separate between two people.

Like this:

Good to know you actually read my topic
It's not too bad if you could not find what you need in my topic
DdmrDdmr also guided some types of snip when you unnecessary to quote full original post.

Now, I hope you got what you asked for.

The idea is not to avoid quoting, but to use it wisely, delimiting the quoted content, and avoiding creating enormous quoted which are unnecessary.
For example, I referred to your post by quoting it with a simple empty snippet body, with the intention of responding to your post with mine, being the context that your OP will be rather near mine and, therefore, I do not need to quote it (since it can easily be found above my post).

On other occasions, the referenced post to quote is long or a bit distant from my response, and therefore I extract part of the post I’m specifically answering to, and enclose it between "<…>" (<…> extracted text <…>), therefore giving context whilst minimizing the quoted part of the text.

Maybe too much quoting may not look good sometimes, but my purpose of quote is that i want to show to whom i am giving the reply to. There are 100 of posts in a thread and if i write anything without quote, no one will know in what context i am talking and if you need to do real discussions than Quote are absolute necessary.

I have gone through the link you shared but my contradiction is when it said quoting a post because some time you will need to reply to a single post to either answer to a question or give solution to his  problem. That should not be considered as a shitpost.

To avoid bad posting, one of easiest way is to avoid pyramid quote. Avoiding pyramid quotes first, then thinking of quality of your contents.
Tips to avoid pyramid quotes

Don't do what Donny Don't Do Does by over quoting (case in point)

but don't you think this quote over and over again is usually because of the above person going of topic and the only way back is to quote something which needs an answer or ideas and discussions going??

I have small contribution for your topic, so if you think that these two points are good, you can edit your OP with link to my topic, or only quote of these two points.
In short: Read > Learn > Read > Write. It's a cycle.

spamming is one of the problem we have in this forum.  I think it is important we know all this style that spammers are using and thank you in sharing this with us.

The key word here is idea. You need an idea before you post which is something you want to share with others and this has to be on topic.
If you think that sharing your real opinion makes you a good poster you are wrong! You can go to any spam topic and see that most people share their ideas there. The problem is that their ideas are simple obvious and repeated many times by people above them.

The only secret you could have in order to be a good poster is to share your own personal idea without faking it. Sometimes, shitposting happens when a person's shitpost was kept unnoticed. Since this forum is made for cryptocurrency and also considered as a forum for the financial industry, professional must always be applied and adopted.

For us to be able to help the community and keep the said professionalism. We have to adopt being professional and become a good example from the newbies.

Yes, the posts does not need to be long for what important is that the post was related to the thread and make sure also that your idea was not taken already if possible or one can qoute an idea and support to it or comment something about it might do also.

Though I am not particular in sections of this forum especially in the discussions thread where I was able to learn from.different users by just reading basic ideas where newbies could make use of it as reference in the conduct of acquiring knowledge about cryptocurrency.

Good work sharon! Most of the newbies does not know why and what they are posting in any thread. They are not taking time to read the op and post they are planning to reply it.
I suggest everyone please read the post and reply it with your own idea or suggestions in it.

That kind of posting also needs to be change or stop so that you won't become a spammer because of quoting all message. There are already solutions to that but posters always do quoting whole post and will result in pyramid quoting. You stated that quoting whole post will become spammy well, it's very true and even some posters already know that but they are still doing it all over again.

I believe it more appropriate to quote the part of the post your reply is in agreement or contradictory to rather then quoting the whole post and with intention just to address a paragraph out of the post. Thumbs up to the originator of this topic learning how to make constructive and quality Post's is the number lesson any member either newbies of higher ranking member should learn cause that is your reputation on the forum.

In addiction many of these quotes deviate from the original discussion to start a new one. Even at that, quote over and over again is likely to loose it flavor on the discussion matter and most forum member abuse it purpose. Although many a-times, the causes of these Egyptians pyramid is a a result of post count from forum members who joined or join paid signature campaign. There are many spamming methods adopted by forum members to spam on the forum and quote and re-quote is one of these style. Wonderful tips.

When it comes to qouting (this might not be considered as bad posting habit) but I don't understand why people make a reply before quoting what they're replying to. e.g if I was to quote reply a particular part of your OP just like the user above me have done I think that's the appropriate way to quote reply instead of writing the reply first before quoting what I'm replying to and i get more confused when they qoute reply different replies in that manner. It looks confusing to me and most times i just skip reading that reply.

That's why if you look through my meriting record I haven't merited much reply posted in that manner because I don't read most of them.

I feel dizzy when I'm reading some replies with a massive amount of quotes, I rather want to read some replies with a few quotes but the sentences have the part that I'm seeking the answers with. Quoting all of the posts doesn't get us anywhere, it will only make the post a bit spammy.

           Think before posting
One good way to be content in this forum is contributing constructively with your post. It's important to note that there are huge members on the forum and what ever you post here would be viewed by many everytime you create something redundant and appalling you lose

      Why do I need to be diligent with my post
Well this question might run through your mind especially newbies or members who had not been constructive but gained rank elevation due to the merit era.
You need to be diligent with your post because
*to maintain a standard post history.. It might interest you to know that sometimes when you make a post some members do a check on your post let's take for example you made a good post that drew attention some member before taking any action go through you post and if it is not at least average might takes that your good post as a fluke. A good post history is always to you advantage
*good reputation... A good name they say is better than gold.  I would take myself for example when ever I make a post there are some names that i get a sense of achievement if they give there own opinion on the post why you may ask? because they have achieved that level of reputation
*bounty selection... Well Ironic this is one of the main reason why some people spam  to meet up with bounty task is the same reason one needs to be constructive... Well if you are interested in bounty that not a bad idea but if you really want a good paying bounty you have to be Good at your posting because good bounties when advertised get a good number of applications so in other to be selected you should have a good level of posting and also the higher the rank the higer the pay and as you may know to get merit you ought to post well.

      How do I make a good post/or what is considered as a
      good post?
This question is like asking what is philosophy? There is no generally accepted answer to this everyone has his/her own perspective to this
You as an individual have got the idea of what you want to post so that your part but how to deliver it should be where you must be detailed
*a good post is not always dependent on its length but quality of its content
*sourcing article is OK but do not copy and paste absorb the content you are sourcing and reproduce it in your own understanding
*make it at least appealing to the eye.  There are some post that are so jam packed(without spacing) that even if the content is good you just don't feel interested to go through, avoid text coloring except it's to lay emphasis(it appears amateur) be OK with your English or better still download a writing correcting app e.g grammarly.
*make use of those message icon available to you when necessary but be sure not to abuse it
*dont abuse the quote button.... There are some post that is quote on quote on quote until a massive Egyptian quote pyramid is attain. This is not so soft on the eye and the worst part is after the quoting your reply is unnecessary.
*skip redundant one-line post....
It's good to be humble and all that but there is no need to create a post like "thank you sir" "good advice I would take to it" and so on it would inflict a bad blow on your post history
*cross check your post before posting.... After writing a post go through it again and if possible again and be sure that it would be helpful to someone out there rather than constituting a nuisance
