I've took noticed that alot of users are always in a hurry to reply a post expecially newbies, I know it is a good strategies to always try to make your reply to be among the first or at least fifth position, because it would make it easier for other users to see and to read it.

I've seen some people making their post on the second or last page and they are earning their merit, it all depends on the quality of what one is posting, any newbie that tend to rush in making reply will definitely post shit because it will not contain the quality standard required, instead, it will show that such user is trying to make himself got noticed, you can agree with me that you will need to make some kind of research and possible reference to a reply you may want to make on any post to give the right and accurate information and before you can gather all these, you would have seen more than five replies ahead of you, which doesn't mean that your own will not be placed on higher quality than theirs.

But in a scenario whereby a user came across a post and reply fast without having clear understanding about that post such reply may be seen as off-topic or not contributing at all. And if such act continue as your post are always around the first-fifth position it may lead to you being ignored by other users.
So anytime you see a post take your time to understand the concept before making any reply, for instance you came across a post about security and privacy and more. If you don't have much Idea about it don't jump in and quickly reply take your time read the post after reading do some research for better clarity and understanding. And if you came across any word you are not familiar with always do yourself a favour and use the dictionary because neglecting or Ignoring such may cause you chances of getting a proper understanding about the post.So doing all this would help you in Acquiring more knowledge and also improve your posting skills, helping you in becoming a good poster.

Even if they reply first, it doesn't give room for understanding. knowing what the thread is talking about is the most important thing. Most of the newbies does that all because they want to earn merit, but forgetting that a post that receives merit is not the first to reply, rather the reply that is meaningful and can contribute to the welfare of the forum.

There is always bound to be misunderstanding in a forum such as this, where just about everything is typed and depending on your understanding of punctuations, you just might not read it right as typed by who ever is making the comment and that alone is enough to create a misunderstanding or interpretation.

There isn’t something really wrong about that, it’s a discussion and there is room for clarification although, you don’t have to hurriedly jump to making a response or respond to every comment you see on your thread or forum.
You give room for contributions and you might have someone come in with just the right respond that could best what you might have had in your thoughts.

I don't think this action only applies to newbies because I have seen some higher ranked users here too rushing to be the first page posted although I can't be certain on the notion of them actually rushing to post but sometimes it just feels like it's what they are actually doing, I think I have even come across a posts of users being accused here of actually using their alts account to ask a question and still supposedly being the first one to actually answer them correctly all in the name of achieving merits.

My guess is that those higher rank members who post in a rush just wanted to earn merits especially when a newbie created a new thread asking for help and also to reach the required amount of post needed to get paid in the campaign that they have joined. i also see higher forum member ranks that do that as what you have explained what they did. I also noticed that some high ranking forum members that doesn't have signature on their account didn't post much but when there's a signature campaign then they almost post everyday.

There is no issue with posting everyday as we need to be active in the forum most especially if we are members in a signature campaign. But replying more fast than it seems without making it sure if the content of the post is constructive or not, that is simply showing spamming and post bursting just to reach the required post of every campaign. I cannot say that it’s more on chasing for merits, because if they really aim to attract merits, they will put a lot of effort in every post so that other members will notice and appreciate its content, even if it means it will be posted in the last page of the thread.

Nobody knows it all and learning is a continues process, making a constructive, informative, meaningful and helpful posting should be paramount other than making a drastic posting that has no value, building up a quality posting habit is more like building good personal reputation and laying down good foundation. In my opinion I think individual reassessment will be of great importance as regards to making a quality posting, always keep in check that my point to know if you are deviating or not.

It's spam, there are several users here who have that bad habit and it happens a lot in gambling.

Nothing to contribute for these users just make the post, let's say one could eventually do it, but the frequency with which they do it is defined as: spam, troll, shilling, disrespectful, etc. Or, Ah! Pay Per Post.

There is only one user who can be there and never be off-topic, or in that shit-post zone, and currently he doesn't...

I think only newbies are not in a hurry to reply any post, I have seen many big users are also in a hurry to reply the post even I have seen it in this thread. There are many people who rush to reserve the post and reply immediately even when they see that their post is not up to standard, they later edit it to make the post up to standard.

Right. There is always this tendency among members, they actually compete to be first in the thread for which they make a small post and edit it later. It would have been better if they took the time to write quality posts and posted the entire post at once, but due to the rush, now they use this strategy. Everyone wants to put the blame on the newbies. But I think this tactic is mostly used by high ranking members, because they do these things to fill the campaign post quota and represent themselves as the most active member.

It is better to write a very comprehensive comment with quality thoughts and ideas in it than to write some shitpost for the sake of completing the post count or whatever. IMO, good posts are not only on the first page of a thread; some quality posts from some reputable members can still be found on the second or third page of a thread, and it doesn't really matter as long as they are giving a quality idea that is far different from what others have said. Although some members like to be on the first role comment because they feel it's what gives their comments the possibility of getting merit more easily, that's not a fact; comments on the second or third page usually receive merit as well.

I don't think this action only applies to newbies because I have seen some higher ranked users here too rushing to be the first page posted although I can't be certain on the notion of them actually rushing to post but sometimes it just feels like it's what they are actually doing, I think I have even come across a posts of users being accused here of actually using their alts account to ask a question and still supposedly being the first one to actually answer them correctly all in the name of achieving merits.

I'd say both are important, you might have to write your constructive or quality post before someone else does it because the forum is full of users with vast knowledge and many would know the answer to a question along with you, if you are late, someone else would have already written what you might have in mind, and remember, a post, no matter how well-constructed, isn't considered to be a good or constructive post if it is repeated which means that if someone else has already written the same thing, you don't get any credit for writing it back.

So, someone should reply as soon as possible if they know they can add something constructive to the thread, and it is important for them to check if someone else hasn't posted the same thing earlier so that it isn't a repeated post, otherwise, it will be useless as it doesn't contribute anything to the discussion.

Are you sorry that someone discovered him or that he is still doing the same things regardless of knowing that it is wrong? I'm just sorry that very few people on this forum have a moral compass that points in the right direction, and that it's much easier for most to turn their heads to the other side and pretend they don't see anything Sad

Well, first off, I agree with others who pointed this out, how do you define a quality reply? Just 'cause a post is long doesn't automatically make it good.

I think a solid reply shows you digested the original idea and are adding something relevant. Maybe you're asking a good follow up question or making an observation that pushes the dialogue forward. Or maybe you're respectfully disagreeing. But your reply should flow outta paying close attention, not just rattling off whatever pops into your head.

Quality over quantity, is what I'm saying.

Quality over quantity should be the standard but it's sad that this is been compromised because there's this perception that comes with the fact that a scanty or few word post could be a spam post or less of a quality post and this is mostly see by signature campaign managers, they sometimes see less word post as not been quality enough because we'll I stand to be corrected but I've seen it common amongst most persons who are in a signature campaign making very long post just to appear like quality posters.

Making good replies at time mustn't be lengthy, you could go straight to the point and make your contributions and the message will be sent across as it should be.

Most shitty posts on the forum are always in two lines or three but there are few members that can make a very short quality post, it doesn't matter if you have something good to say, everyone who want to reply to a post must have had something in mind in the first place, either fast or slow doesn't matter.

Every newbies and beginners have their first time experiences, we just need to encourage them to keep making good posts, some newbies will even sound like they did their bests, it's only a matter of time, I believe they will get better, a bad member (spammer) must have been corrected many times already before they are given the ban hammer.

I am not bothered about fast replies, is the fast reply making sense? That's all we should care about, by the way, how can you tell if someone is very eager to reply to your post or not? I will like to know, because anyone can be called a fast replier or something.

I think that the time duration that it takes for a member to reply or quote in a thread doesn't really matter, what matters is the quality of post, because a person can take one hour in replying a post and it'll still be a shitpost, while another person with a vast knowledge of the topic can just reply in a few minutes. I'm not bothered about being among the first set of people to post in a topic, what matters is my quality contribution to the thread, we're not in competition in this forum, so we basically share our thoughts so others can see things from our own perspective.

Being the first or being among the fifth members to reply, I did not see it as a matter of a member hurrying to be the first to reply, but I just viewed it as the act of being active on the forum always, so I just see it as the act of being active on the forum all the times. When a member spends more time in the forum, they will definitely be among those who reply first when they have an idea.

In fact, I don't think spammers are always the first five members to reply quickly. You will always find them hidden on the second page or probably replying at the bottom of the first page, but you will hardly find many of them being the first to reply because they know they will surely receive criticism if their reply doesn't make sense.

Why would a member even try to respond to a post that they don't understand? The only people I believe are engaged in that behavior are some members who are part of the signature campaign and are trying to find a way to match the amount of posts, particularly those who are with alt accounts in signature campaigns.

If you can visit some discussion section, you will see some senior members trying to be the first person to post in a particular thread to correct some things about the thread so that it will give newbies clear understanding to follow the topic very well.

I don't think this is the most common reason. I can think of two others:

1) If you are the first to reply to a thread you don't have to think as much to elaborate your reply as if there are already several replies (this would be the most important reason in my opinion).

2) You give better exposure to the company you are advertising if you are in a signature campaign (here it would not be as important to write exactly the first reply as to have a habit of replying on the first page(s) before the last page of mega-threads).

Quality post matter a lot to users in this forum, and it always give legendary and hero members joy whenever they come across such post in any discussion section, and it has motivated a lot of users to go deeper into research to increase their knowledge that will make them to improve in quality post. Newbies will always act like newbies in the forum which everyone here has experienced before we became perfect in quality post, I believe moderators in each section discussion are doing a great job to delete some off topic post and replies made by newbies and other members.

First of all if we replay any post we have to read that post well first and reply to the post accordingly. If you don't read or understand a post properly then you will never be able to give a proper answer to that post.

Is not always the newbies that like posting in a hurry even the higher ranked members, Sr. members Full members e.t.c, I do that at time you OP do that also, we're all guilty on that and I can't say if is good or not. Sometimes it gets into our head and we do it, like let me just do rough post on this topic (not everyone is responsible for this though).
Some of those who rush just to be the 1st or 2nd to be on the first page sometimes do post out of point, the post doesn't tally , the just post for other members to see them as the 1st or 2nd to drop a reply or to show that you're very brilliant to be very fast in dropping an answer and those who are responsible for these are those who find it hard to read what the OP is cooking, that's where they do tag such post as shitty post. It will look like you don't have anything to offer but you do only if you take your time and remove that competitive mentality off your head, life is not about competition.

Quote from: Marykeller on February 17, 2024, 07:50:54 AM

The most important thing about replying to a post is to understand the post head and what it says before being the first to reply to it.

Being the first to reply to a post doesn't make one a good poster that will receive more merits than others, who will reply to a post when it passes the first page.

That being said, every member of this forum understands that whether their post is on the first page or the last page, it will be read by others and have outer exposure and explanation given. However, it doesn't matter when you find it necessary to reply to a post because what matters most is the quality of the post not when you have the reply to a post, posted.

Posting is an easy thing, that only time it gets difficult is when you don’t know what to post to make it more interesting and informative to the one who can read it. Not all members in the forum are knowledgeable on every topic posted, most of the time you still have to make extended research out on every topic so you can share your best shot to that topic. And it’s just a bonus if you can post your reply quickly, but it does not matter anymore, as the major content of your post is what matters most, how it will create an impact to the next posters of the same topic.
