Topic: How to create quality posts (Read 453 times)

I have seen this thread for a long time and it is my guide when writing good quality posts, here is the thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/signature-campaign-guidelines-read-this-before-starting-or-joining-a-campaign-1684035 carefully read all things and reading it is full length will allow you to gain knowledge and be a good quality poster.

the first thing that can make a quality post is we must understand the first topic. then we must understand the point and convey the importance points clearly and precisely

I appreciate what you want to express. Even though you had quality post you won't be able to earn merit as soon as possible. All we need is our post don't need long just to answer instead we'll answer in one word on what do we need to have a good quality post is common sense. I'm sure it is understandable word. We don't need a long sentences or we may need if you join a bounty with characters needed like 100 chars minimum. There are lot's of answer what to do on how to create good quality post one of it is common sense like a mention and honesty is also one of it.

I agree with you sir, There is no need to worry on what criteria they require because it depends on what you are promoting right now or later on but keep this in mind that common sense is a must and about explanation, for example you are explaining to someone else be sure not to explain it again what you did explained first. Hope it helps and understand what my point is.

When I ask a question I would rather have a few quality answers versus a huge quantity of bull crap answers. I enjoy when someone puts thought into there post.

You should change what you been posting, post something different you cant force people to like your posts if you want likes you have to post something that's likable something that grabs someones attention.

In fact today some people who get merit do not have good qualifications, as you say that many people are exchanging merit. But I admit there are still many people who deserve to get merit, they make things useful by creating quality posts and also can contribute to the forum. This is a happy thing of course, we are still in the development stage to apply the merit point in the right target.

There is no discrete rules as to what is constructive post, quality post, its totally just readers discretion but I see your current ranks helps too, if you are lower rank no matter how good your writing is there is no chance you get any Merit.

The merit you see given around it is mostly not because of the content is Meritable it is because they are friend and they exchange Merit between them.

QUALITY - a distinctive attribute or characteristic possessed by someone or something.

As the standard of quality isn't defined in this forum, considering the definition of quality, individuals can then choose what represents quality based on their own disposition.

A quality post should be informative, it should address an exciting problem, it should answer existing questions of many forum users and beyond, it should be able to inform and direct people. Just create value to people and quality post and merit would flow naturally.

Look at the forum read people's questions and provide advice or expertise based on your knowledge, Thats Quality.

The more help you give the more help you receive. Its a natural law.

Creating quality posts is subjective. It is in the eye of the beholder if you are talking about 'merit-earning' posts. The credibility of the writer is largely irrelevant, although if you consistently post short, spammy one-liners, followed by one literacy masterpiece, then suspicion will be aroused (copy pasting). Best bet is to stick with topics that you are interested in and can impart some knowledge on the wider community. If you know about altcoin mining, write about that, expert on gambling sites, then join threads related to that subject. If all you are doing is repeating what previous posters have written, then you are unlikely to be acknowledged. No point posting on a thread that is already 50+ pages long, look for new interesting threads and get involved. I find the threads that generate the most interest are ones which condense a lot of information into one post, either with useful links or bullet points; people are always looking to save time, so appreciate the effort when someone has already done all the legwork for them.

Everything matters. Especially the reply to the thread. That is very very important. The core reply should be constructive with language that everyone easily understand. Take time in analysing datas required for the reply and contribute. This would certainly screen your posts quality. A small trick would be, take time in reading replies of Legends, Hero Members and Seriors' and learn what they are towards about and what they write through. You will learn more things and your posts will speak your quality work towards the posts.

Re: How to create quality posts
1.Give a summary on a particular post-post to make it easy for a member to follow a thread discussion, give the index an initial post to make it easier for other new members to join thread discussions
2.Amate the thread on the existing local board, what issues arise that have been answered and note what knowledge / topic has not been discussed and is in the other thread.
3. Make sure that what you find it will be of great benefit to other members, especially local board Indonesia. Even if you ask, make sure the question is not a question that can easily be answered by googling, or it contains specific questions such as how to draw funds from a particular exchanger because it does not need to ask questions here, ask where appropriate.
4.While it is not required, but seeing the condition of the local board tends to be full of spam, it is recommended that you enable self-moderated features to help moderators in spamming and such that agan threads do not become spam nests and eventually close. By enabling self-moderated and managing agan threads, in the context of local board Indonesia, it can be considered as an effort to help in eradicating spam. Although the idea is good but the thread is filled with spam, it will make agan threads most likely to be dialed.
5. Do not just create a thread because it hopes merit and such. Merit will come to agan itself if indeed agan make a great contribution to this forum.
6. Be the responsible TS or OP. Monitor agan threads and delete spammy post-posts. If the thread has been restored, it is advisable to be locked in order not to be spam.
7.Susun agan thread according to the format or thread guide above, obey the other forum rules.
8.When there is new information that matches the topic agan, update and convey in thread agan so the thread will always continue and continue to be useful for other members.

They don't read, so this'll be wasted on them.  If you really have to ask how to write decent posts, then I should say the chances of you writing one are slim to none.  And to my jaded eyes, this is like asking how to turn a doorknob.  There really isn't much to explain, unless you live in a special home.

Wow, is this really happening?

A Member asks...

Shall we start taking bets on how many more days we need to endure these types of threads and posts?

That's completely right.

The fact that creating quality posts are involving the community to your consideration.
for an instance: Let's all commit suicide cause I'm very exhausted for being human, is there any other way around to do this easily?

That question statement telling that the one whose constructing the words a person and talking to another individual.

With that consideration in mind you will engage and ensure that you are involved in conversation because you're talking to a person on the other side of the globe/geographical location.

Very well said leowonderful! It has been prevalent that ever since the merit system was established, the focus of most of the members here is to post constructively to earn merits. They don't understand that they are missing the point here, and that is  to share your knowledge with the other members for them to understand the concept in a different perspective. I think that no matter how well composed a reply may be, if it's just repetitive of what others said, then it doesn't have much value. So remember, everytime you post, you do it for the sake of enlighting  your readers and not to earn merits because that's what forums are for, to share your genuine opinions in the most natural way you know how.

How good a post is or if it is of quality is completely opinion-based, but generally posts that aren't considered to be good will not answer a question that is asked, go completely off-topic or just don't contribute to a conversation going on in a thread.

A post doesn't need to be extremely long or elegant to be considered of quality. What matters is what you're talking about and how you're contributing.

If you (or anyone on this thread) are looking to improve your posting, the one thing I suggest you do is forget about merits (if you haven't already done so). Everyone's hunting for merit, but you're not going far if you're actively thinking about getting it. Gain experience in something you're interested in, and watch for incorrect posts (correct them) and help out those in need of help.

If you want to create quality posts, you should make sure that your post will actually help to contribute knowledge or information to each topics you want to respond. Some post can be long but can also be short but make sense and informative. Giving statement is very important because what you are going to post could affect everyone who reads it so better make sure that you are not giving any incorrect statements. Just make sure that what you post will never go off-topic because even if your post is long or grammatically correct, it is not actually useful if it is not pertaining to a specific topic.

If you look at the very definition of 'Quality' then you will get your answer.


From that you can see that quality is a subjective thing. Before posting ask yourself something simple like 'is this post adding any value to the discussion or not?' - if the answer is yes then in time you'll gain merit, if not, don't post.

Different members have different criteria to judge a quality post. Here is what I consider as a quality post:

1) First thing is that it should contain unique information. If the response i just rephrasing the content posted in other replies, it is useless even if it is of considerable length. Also, it should answer the query in simple language. For instance, suppose a new member has asked about legal issues related to bitcoins. This should be explained giving specific examples like laws in a particular country.

2) Next thing we should consider is how responsive or active is the member. If he has responded to the query earlier, he should be given preference.

All of the questions you asked,  the answers put together gives you merit point. The most important one is the last. Reader discretion. It is left to the reader to evaluate the quality,  length and others for him or her to score you.

I try to look for helpful posts.  Did you answer a question for someone correctly?  Did you provide a unique insight?   Did I learn something from what I read?  Do I agree with the point you've made?

If you need to ask that means you can't do it. If it doesn't come naturally then you should not expect merit..

As far as I know it is high quality, constructive and have a good sense of humor in discussion.

Why not before asking, find time to read each pin messages in every section of this forum. For sure there are tons of information about it. In some humans, common sense is literally present and only those who used it has the edge not to be embarrassed in this cruel world. So don’t post this in Meta, as i don’t think it is even fits in here.

What are the criteria to conclude that the post is with quality?
The length? The statement? The point? The credibility of the writer? Or is it just upon the discretion of the reader?
