Topic: How to Make a Quality Posts in the Forum - page 3. (Read 781 times)

I must really confess as a newbie it's hard to spot the difference between low quality post and high quality post. I know what you are driving at, but you didn't put it in the manner that people will understand. In a public forum like this it's hard for someone to say something everybody will like. Sometimes it might be that you are saying the right thing but didn't arange it in appropriate manner. I am new here but judging from the post I have been reading in different places I discover that creating of quality post is not by rank. What you said concerning chemistry, biology or physics does not inply that the are hear but it's just an example of areas of concentrations like politics, business, gambling or religion. If you check out in this forum not everyone is good at gambling and gambling now becomes the major focus here in signature campegn.

Just like me am not good at discring how clubs started and their success so far. But I can play gambling with betting app by checking prediction online. But if you ask me more than that it's a problem except I will start to study about it. If you don't know much about a particular thing don't too much comment on it to avoid being focused because you might be going contrary or out of point. For example this kind situation was discussed before.link==>

As far as I know a quality post refers to a post that give substantial information about the topic.  The post should be relevant to the topic being discussed and does not derail the discussion by citing a non-topic related stuff.  It does not necessarily needs to be a long novel, (other adds more unnecessary words to make their post looks longer) and it would be great if it is direct, short, and can be clearly understood by readers.

@OP it is really indeed a need for knowledge to be able to interact to the thread wisely.  And slimming its research for knowledge down to a single board can really help the member to easily gather information, discuss relative information and post quality reply and topic because his knowledge is centered on that board.  It makes learning  and mastering of knowledge faster unlike having all board in mind at once.  Worse a confusion may occur like when one is trying to learn Bitcoin and altcoins and participating both on Bitcoin board and altcoin board, if not careful, the knowledge acquired might get mixed up resulting to crappy and possible spam answers because of the mixed up understanding of the subject involved.

I wanted to quote a lot of comments but when I see your post worthy to the topic. 99% of the comments here are out of point, I don't know if they understand the topic. From the various comments I have seen here , the topic really serve his purpose because these are some of the reasons this thread was created and I am seeing that even established legendary members do not understand it. It is only few legendary members that understand the thread and for the full members, their comments are very far from the thread. I don't know if they really understand the thread. What you said is exactly what I mean. I also like what he said 👇

. Yes, I agree with what you said but the newbies who doesn't know where to start and how to start are the one these thread is mainly meant for. And those members and full members that made comments here not alt accounts for higher users because the way they sounded did not look like their profiles. If a real newbies make comments on my threads I will know.

I wanted to quote many comments but I just decided to quote both of you because seen that you understand the thread more than others. And from what they have said, the purpose of the post is accomplishing.

What if the area that someone is good with is not discussed in the forum? there are many topics giving tips on how to make quality post, and there will continue to be this kind of topics with everyone having their own style. It will be good to focus on making sure that you learn and then have enough knowledge to be able to help another forum member with the knowledge of what you have learnt. Learning is both on the forum and outside the forum.

That's why I advise anyone new here who's without the basic knowledge of Bitcoin to start with the Off-Topic and Politics sections. At least, there must be something that will get their attention there. That was where I started too until I was able to step over them to venture into the mainstream Bitcoin related discussions.

As for making quality posts, I think that's relative. It's relative in the sense that what makes for quality posts to Mr A may not be so to Mr B. However, I dare say that no one can give what they don't have. People write the way they know best. The person whose posts you think are not constructive may have written their best, which may seem not to be best enough. That's life.

Reddit don't give a strict fuck about spamming, shit posts and plagiarism checker unlike what we have here in the bitcointalk community where all of those are taking into serious consideration which makes the difference between there and here obvious. The maturity here is something that speaks volume for itself.

Mistakes some people make in the forum is thinking that they must drop a comment in every thread they come across even when they lack ideas to contribute. The forum don't expect you to be everywhere, just stay your lane where you are good at sharing useful knowledge and informations.

Base on my experience, these are the things that helped me ranked up, and make what I think are quality posts.
Just be you, research things, and don't post on threads that you, yourself don't have any single knowledge of it.

Researching things will help you make better post because if you know what you will say to that thread, it will translate to a better post, or a quality post they should say. I guess me just being me while posting also helped in making some quality posts. I don't consider my posts that good since I'm not that good on the technical aspect of things, but somehow I got ranked up from a Full Member a few days before the merit system has implemented to now a Legendary. It took me a long time though, but it's all worth it.

Making quality posts aren't that hard TBH. It's just that, we need to know something about the thread in order for us to say many things about it. At the end of the day, spending a little time of your day researching, and watching educational videos will help you in the long run.

To me, a quality post is a writing that is relevant to the community. it could be a few lines that answer questions or contribute positively to a discussion. It could be a discovery or an advancement of an old idea. You don't also need to be a master in English grammar to be a quality poster just ensure that your post conveys the right information simply and understandably.

You don't write posts because you want to rank up. You start a topic because you have something relevant to discuss. It is better to respond to threads than to start some threads that will contribute nothing to the forum

In the teaching and learning process anything or field of knowledge can be used for explanation. Chemistry might not relate to any board but we can use chemical processes or components for illustrations.

I comment when I have something to say. I think it's enough.

I was long Reddit user, people don't care what you write there and you'd often see one word responses and no one would bother. If you were to write same one word responses here, they are sure to be deleted.

Welcome message tells you how.

Write less, short, insightful, informative and on topic posts. If someone already answered the question, don't repeat it because in that context, your answer will become useless.

This is a forum that frowns at low-quality posts, which is why one should write it at the back of their mind to be quality in writing or not write at all as it's not by force to write.

This takes me to the best psychology of posting, and if you want to make a quality post, just be organic and do not push it. Let the post come to you by itself, and if there is a post you do not understand its context very well, skip it, it's not by force to reply to any post. These would save anyone from low-quality posting and the embarrassment that might come from it.

People are just over analyzing about everything they need to do in this forum while they can make all of it as simple as they can. They don't actually need to write long text to define their quality but rather what all they need is to stay relevant on the discussions entering and have sense regarding on what they post so no other users will point out that they post bad or worse doesn't have any relevant on threads where they post those messages.

Having enough knowledge in this forum is pretty fine and the only thing you need is to be a consistent poster since for sure you can do all of what other people concern and create some good post which other people appreciate.

Research is important recipe so that we became a more better user of this forum.

It seems like your post is too long, there's only a little content. Mostly descriptive in my opinion, but this post is worth a read. The point is:

1# The quality of the post depends on what is in the account owner's head
2# Write comments or opinions on boards that interest you
3# Don't create spam because it is useless and can get your account banned
4# Don't try to cheat by plagiarizing or using AI

 Insightful post indeed, but it's not new to this forum, don't you think op? I've read of you castigating others when they seem to make posts that have been created before and you are here doing the same thing. I wonder what that makes you. Asides from making low quality posts, are repetitive posts not also aimed at fulfilling post count? There's definitely no big deal about post making; you just need to understand the basics which is trying to understand what is being discussed and then pitch in your two cents.
 The sad thing is even if this were a new piece, those who want to spam or discuss out of point will still do it and thats where the mods come in. We all understand and assimilate things differently so the rate at which one picks up on a particular subject matter can differ so when you mentioned that the individual ought to base in a particular board just sounds demeaning to me, like the person's slow to grab or something. Personally, it doesn't matter how long you stay at a particular board, if you can't understand what's being discussed, you won't be able to make meaningful contribution.

I support. I also have a slightly different education, which is practically not discussed here. Should I stick to one topic until I understand I have completely mastered this science?
OP, why do you see the forum as some kind of scientific publication whose topics need to be carefully studied? Have you heard that forums are designed to discuss various issues? I want to specify various problems and not stay exclusively on one topic. I'm really surprised by people who say "should" about someone on the Internet. Likewise, I would apply the word "should" only to human qualities: respect, honesty, and decency.
People have different views on the usefulness of a post. I think you, OP, found your post helpful as well?
Too many polemics.

Making good and quality post involves having a good overview of what the thread or topic one want to create is talking about, as if really you have transferred an information to the readers and the information being given if it related to what the forum depicts.

So before one can know if they are making a good and quality post they must be able to pass an information that can proffer solution(s) to it's readers.

Yea sure but, why are we overanalyzing this? Just post if you have something to contribute and simply do nothing and read if you have nothing to contribute — simple as that. Why do we need to talk about "mastering" boards as if they're like university courses or something? They're just forum sections!

Creating a good thread with high quality content may seems difficult even though when the writer knows what he/she want to teach especially if he/she is new to content writing but with time there will be improvement.


Most of the subject listed are not relevant in writing content in the forum. I think one way out to help you creat good content is to first get familiarize oneself to the forum, this will teach you how things is been done right on the forum.

I was about to point that out also, because most at times, the discussions that members of thos forum create a new topic thread for are mostly not worth start a new topic on them, just like this one, because when it comes to the issues with the quality of posts, I think that the moderators are doing quite a great job by deleting comments that fail to meet the forum standard, aside from this, when it comes to the quality of posts,  based on forum members' measurement of what makes up for quality posts it then depends on the individual reader in question and how best they can understand what the other person is saying and grading them based on their own personal perceptions.
In improving the quality of your posts, it is simple,  Bitcointalk is just like school and we constantly are weiting exams daily a d for you to be able to write something meaningful and on point, then you have to read a lot and do research on the subject matters to build enough informations and knowledge around them.

I hear you but do you really believe this is worth creating another topic in beginners & help? We already have so many threads on the same topic, old and recent. Most times these topics are seen and read by members who have no need for it, those (newbies) who need it seem to ignore the advice given. And I know for sure we will still see newbies asking the question “how do I make quality post” even though all the information is available on the forum.
