Topic: Patient to read post (Read 354 times)

That one na true sha, e good mk person calm down read post before e go fit reply or quote person self but sometimes the fault dey from the poster hand, wey be say e go talk another thing for topic, come dey write another, wey dey confused person at times, especially for people wey be if dey see some kind topic like this we no go just go read first before we reply, we go just reply one time, later we go go come see say wetin we dey talk and wetin others dey talk no be the same things o, so e go better too mk we calm down dey read post before replying and also mk poster also create context mk e rhyme together with we dey create as topic and at a time some people no dey get dat strength, because one thing or the other so to save person strength and energy.

Dat your post really lengthy and no be everybody go fit sit down go through am read before dem comment about am. As you talk, d person reply you base on the topic wey your post be and dis na true. Even from looking at your topic title and then scroll down to pictures then d conclusion part, person go don already know wetin you dey get at. I don see some posts wey be say the topic title go dey different from the main topic discussion, wetin you go talk about dat kind matter for people wey dey comment to post only from title wey dey don see? Mostly dis no dey happen to high rank members but newbies, as you be senior member, person no suppose think twice say you go go off topic contrary to wetin the title be. Me I no see any problem with dat as long as the person comment dey in point of wetin the topic of discussion dey talk about.

Do not focused your thinking and efforts on how to earn merits rather be creatives in constructing post, and let it be meaningful then merits will flow on you. Like this our locals you can be actives to be giving some latest updates and if any of them gets people attention then I am sure what you want will definitely follow you. There are other people who have been here before you, including I Myself also break out by devoting time to read post and then you can contribute heavily as well; if you don't read post and you always think of merits how would you contributes to fetched you merits and besides meriting shouldn't be your ultimate goal otherwise you won't last longer here as you might be scrapped out quickly.

Na wetin make you go seatdown carry ur phone or lapi read wella if not no joy for you, and you must change your mentality you must not reason like the normal people you know, you have to be abnormal to be normal. In essence what do I mean?
For you to excel in this forum you need to remove haste and rush because we believe we all that gets to this level didn't start a day to start earning merits or to start waxing greatly in the forum. "Our people say na small small dem dey carry lick soup wey dey fire". 

No be only you many people e no fit read post mostly di long threads. To read di rule e good because dat one na to direct you weti you go do wey tok about the probs and cons. In the forum we dey guide one another, and weti you go do be say, make you ask questions whenever no something, no just mute like that. And if you dey find Merit, na dat time u supposed ask questions to create quality posts so dat people go give you Merits. Normally forum na personal race.

Guys e no easy for Ezekiel o😄 to dey patience to read post na work o expecially the newbies. After person go don read the rules guiding the forum person no go like make mistake.

Sometimes me personally no understand this forum. because the forum no get who dey guide each other. Everybody dey find merit. If many people wey dey here understand how to get merit with short story I think some quantity message for no dey dis forum.

Understanding differs, note your topic, is a succinct explanation of the content of your message or writeup, this is why people don't bother reading the full post, before making their contributions, another fact here is, as we advance in knowledge, we may not necessarily need to read much about stuff before talking about them, may be because of our versed idea on similar subjects discussed earlier, I think it is normal for things like this to happen, every post has its reply with a different opinion and argument, sometimes people find it hard to go through it rather they make their contribution and move on.

As some people don already comment, from some topic you fit know watin the person wan talk, but if you want comment e go better to read that post well well.
I've actually seen posts where the topic is saying one thing and when you enter to read you see another thing. It could be really bad if one just goes and comment based on topics. A lot of threads are really long and for us to write something really reasonable and good we need to read it and understand what the individual is saying. I believe I can't be the only one who even go as far as reading comments, if I am then maybe it's cause I'm still learning alot about Bitcoin and the Bitcoin forum.
I'm probably not in the position to tell them OG's in the forum to read before they comment, but it'll definitely be profitable to my fellow newbies here that patience to reading, learning, commenting and even writing your own thread is very important.

Na good thing you talk so but sometimes e still good to read some post even though person no get strength everything but e good make know wetin the thread dey talk, because thin you see so fit affect upcoming people to dey skip post. And one thin wey help me na to dey read post as well if not e for hard me well well here so, and if newbie begin get this kind orientation now e go hard to focused and read important thins no wonder dem dey always report our brothers as people wey dey spam because no strength and energy to read through plenty post. Yes you hit the point say here no be place wey people go dey seat down dey read every every but e good make them develop the heart and passion to read before skipping post or replying post through their titles, at least e get some kind level them go reach here then dem fit skip body of the topic.

I believe say pipo like you fit read through title dem no go fit put much eyes for you but if jjc come onboard do that kind thing people fit sanction onto say them never gain ground. See eh me no argue you for one day oo say wetin you talk no follow but me go like to also encourage our newbie to read no matter how the thread and topic long reach as them read am e go give them better edge to save their heads.

No be compulsory to read a post from beginning to di end, sometimes from di title you go easily deduce wetin di topic dey talk about and sometimes wen you read first few lines you go also know wia di poster dey go. Personally, I no dey like lengthy posts except na topic we interest me or na subject wey I wan gain knowledge. Just as Brainboss talk no be quantity na im really mata, na quality. Wia dose lengthy posts dey bad pass na if di person no be native English speaker or di person just put some incoherent thoughts with disjuncted grammar into writing. A well structured, concise and to the point posts or reply go do di work for you instead of all dose talk talk or repetitions wey no really mata.

You supposed know say some people get plenty experience for this forum so them go just connect the topic to the board where you post am to understand wetin you dey talk even if them no read every every wey you write. Na you call the person Oga, meaning say him get the experience to connect the dots. This may not be easy for person wey never gather that kind of experience. I no dey talk say reading the entire post to get all the details dey bad, but you know say some of those Oga them get plenty things for their hand... them fit no get time read every every before them contribute.

Make we no forget say as our faces different, na so our habits different too. I know plenty people wey no like reading in general;e come be long post, them no follow you for that kind play. I also know people wey dey read very fast and like to read wella... na those people we dey call jacking machine for Uniport those good old days.

Nevertheless, I believe say we too go mature reach that level for this forum. Personally, I no dey too feel bad when them criticize me because I believe say I no dey perfect; so I try to draw the lesson from criticism. Therefore, make we dey push am small small dey learn wetin the forum dey offer and I believe say we go mature with time.

Na you go carry forum for head, people get plenty things to do in life and reading through the forum isn't a priority for them. Personally I mostly just skimmed through most thread especially those ones wey dey belike article. The forum was made for discussion and for discussion to flow properly your need to make your point as easy as possible to understand and straight to the point that's why the way you write the topic of  your thread will determine if it'll attract readers or not. We need to forget dat saying wey be say "don't judge a book by its cover" because for here you can easily sight a quality or spam thread from the introduction to the thread which is the topic. Nobody owe you to read through your whole thread as discussion can be gotten from any part of the thread.

No be person wey write plenty na him dey make sense, quality isn't judge from quantity. Sometime self wetin me dey use judge quality post na post wey dey bring about quality discussion from all the paragraphs of the thread. Like people fit read your title know wetin you dey write about and give him opinion, him fit still read first paragraph or your conclusion and have something to contribute. When the whole topic is filled up of quality, discussion can be gotten from everywhere. This forum no be lecture room, it's a forum used during leisure hours so no expect anybody to dey wast him precious time to read everything wey you dey write, life hard already no add to am.

So from what everybody said here, I have been able to draw to a conclusion that we have got 3 kinds of people here on this forum, that is,
First, those who dislike long post & always try to avoid it.
Second, those who always try to have a glance through a long post to catch up the centre message to see what they can come up with (i.e reply)
Third, those who don't mind reading a long post from A-Z, in as much as it's a thread created by a fellow forum member.

And all three are totally okay, in as much as it's not compulsory to post on long thread, and whichever format gives you the ability to engage in meaningful conversation here on this forum, then you are at liberty to use any, as long as you follow the rules that governs this forum without using hateful words.

Well I even had to quote the entire thread because me self no be fan of reading long stories especially  when the stories no reay dey catchy to me and the truth be say over the time, I don read topics and threads wey I later discover say na total waste of time and most times people dey confuse quality  and quality  and them forget say quality  fit dey for less then 5 line post pass the full Bible story wey person go write.

On the other hand, once I open a thread and the story long, especially  without link, the first thing I dey do na to tap op for inbox irrespective  of the country and try let am know say reference no dey him work just incase he carry anyone from the internet.
I don't reading post  no matter how interest the story might be and it takes serious dedication  to achieve this.

Make I just put mouth for the matter after I don read almost wetin my people drop here, for my own eeh, I no dey read everything went person post before I respond or comment but once I get the centre message, I don already know wetin I go comment and most times too from the topic person fit know wetin the op dey talk about but for some people wey write plenty plenty story, once I come across that one, na to just cut something wey I wam talk about comment on that one asap.

Sometimes too if you no read post well well before you comment e go make you go off topic atimes na why you gats try read at least the first two or three lines before you begin dey respond e go help you not to go off completely.

E good say you bring this line wey i mark for RED come inside this talk because for sure them go nack am warning message join, my dear even if i know weytin the title don already talk me go still gredie read the post well, with that self i go dey find out small small grammatical error wey dey inside den come point am out for the person to do the needful.

No be every body wey get that time to dey read long story o. Some people just need short and simple sentence wey them go just read and understand unto say the sentence get full meaning. Some people go just look the topic of your post know wetin the writer dey upto then dem reply am because dem see reading of lengthy posts as a waste of time. While some go just read your topic know the content or body of the post then know wetin to reply.

But I think taking time to go through post would be more better and worth it because you will clearly digest everything to your understanding and knowledge while reading.  You can only get a better understanding of what a poster made only when you read the post. This would guide you through while replying to that post of need be.

The thing be say e depend on how catchy your topic is and how informative your content are too. We all know that reading is not a lazy man job and na why lazy student dey fail exam for school. When the topic no dey interesting some people no go even open am and if the content con long again without meaningful ingredients inside e go make am worse. The truth be say plenty of post for the forum no dey align with the topic at all or sometimes with little correlation between the topic and the content.

Best thing is to summarize your post to make am look short and informative with attention catching topic if you are making a post. If na comment you want to make, read the topic first and you go derive ideas (assume na you want to write on that topic) read the content for more information and if possible read few comments under the post if there's any and then make your own opinion. E no dey possible to read everything but the little you read should be able to help you add something to the conversation.

And again, Forum na where sentiment and agenda gather dey  you go learn to tolerate and overlook plenty things wey no add value. Some people comment na troll and discouragement full am while some na criticism and of course some na commendation too. You go train yourself to adapt. If you get the energy, you go return any similar things given to you but I go advice you to stay out of troll as someone coming up. Gradually we go all continue to grow.

Reading a post completely actually determines how well composed your reply and contribution will be be so Me I de always read a thread from starting to end if na topic wey interest me but some post de wey too long and boring again so if I de read that kind post e no de ginger me to read am finish especially when I de read am go I no con de understand the message wey dem de try pass. But me I like post wey no too long and wey the message de direct and straight forward.

Since it’s not mandatory to reply to all posts on the forum once i see you post is a lengthy one I try to go through it then if along the line I find out it’s boring I immediately close the page and stop reading it. Though sometimes e depends on my mood at that moment, I feel lazy sometimes and other times I feel so active so if at the time of reading i de lazy I just skip past the post.

Your content dey come from di topic and dat make it article. So a good op draw his conclusion from the topic nor the topical sentence so if di commentators understand di topic then they can also draw a conclusion from the op topic. So their comments sometimes correct with content with di op. Because sometimes to read lengthy text dey tire pesen. But really it is very good to read everything in di op and if possible read some comments before making your reply so dat u will know what to say from di op and other comments.

The thing be say people no dey too like read posts wey too long, sometimes dem fit just skim through the post to try understand wetin e dey talk about, if you use only post subject take reply to posts, you fit post off-topic posts oh, because e get people wey their post subject no concern wetin dey the content of the post. So even if post long, after reading the subject, na to try skim through the post, and you go definitely get wetin the op dey talk, but if you be person wey fit read posts wey dey very long, you fit read am. Me i no go fit reply to posts wey i no read, so if maybe the post dey too long, e better say i no reply than to reply without reading it.
