Topic: How to post more effectively and get more Merit. - page 2. (Read 493 times)

More often than not, what is appreciated is that the content of the post has been thought through, has a proper structure, and is expressed in a readable manner with a proper flow of words.

One-liners 99,99% of the time do not meet that criteria, and very few people can get away with posting something relevant in just one line. Nevertheless, piling bullshit word upon word in order to extend the post’s length a couple of lines more does not differ too much from a one-liner, and can be counter-productive.

Large posts are not that frequent, and should be justified in any case by its content. Some take posting as a personal log of all the flow of disordered ideas that come into mind, ending-up with massive walls of text that may seem entertaining at first, but that are later never read in full. Others are technical and require a thorough explanation.
What I do find is that long text from Newbies are immediately suspicious of coming not from the author’s mind, but from some other non-referenced source. That may lead to people giving the post a pass in fear of meriting a plagiarized post. Even if there is a reference to the source, I personally look for a meditated thought along with a summary, and not a pasted text with a source.

The format as you say should be simple, and normally a few fancy things may be thrown in if the text is long, in order to break the monotony. In any case, going further than using bold, cursive, or underlined text is not necessary (perhaps the odd surgical colour may be used). Capital letters and changing the default font size normally acts as a deterrent.

I don't agree with this. If you can show clearly what you mean in short words, then don't use lengthy words.
bullshit is more annoying than 1-liner shitposter.

Right, the length of the post doesn't really matter. What count the most is the information and ideas you put on your post. If your idea/information is not scarce to look, just usual / common sense logic, it is very hard to get merits to rank up. There's really no other way to learn how to post 'correctly' other than reading the posts of top merited members.

It is still the knowledge and how witty an individual will going to present the details of his posts. Aside from that hardwork will going to matter. Posting some informative content that will going to cater for more hours, days or even weeks on doing it will probably ideal to get a merits. Usually I have seen a user doing like this was DdmrDdmr in his/her statistical posts that gathered a lot of merits.

This is really difficult to do this is why many newbies and lower rank whining about not getting merit.

lol okay the word bullshit was a bit extreme, it's more like use a short opening-statement , i mean some people reply with a "Yes" or a "No" when they can say something like " well, it's impossible to know for sure, but i think it is a YES", even though a single word would suffice, it will still be more like a shit-post to most people.

Absolutely not.
We have enough bullshit in this forum already.

 I Didn't know where else to post this , this goes to newbies ranked members all the way to legendary members.

 Rather than telling you the DOs, i'll just list the DONT"s


1- Don't be a 1-liner shitposter

this is not Twitter, you will seem like a shitposter who is only posting to get paid for the signature campaign, even if there is nothing much to say , just type some bullshit to fill in your actual words.

2- Don't post  China great wall text

nobody has got the time nor the mood to read 30 lines for the same person unless it was Satoshi explaining  how to get free bitcoin.

3- stick to simple format

don't use capital / bold / kinder-garden like colors / weird ICO symbols on your tittle.



if you stop doing these 3 annoying things, you will be more effective, get more merit, more love and you can thank me later.

Cheers.
