Topic: Quality over Quantity (Read 917 times)
Sometimes a long article writing makes no cogent point of understanding during the reading because the read will not be concentrated when reading a such article, but their is something I understand concerning long writing, some people think that long composing article is what makes you a quality poster in the forum, but I do stand to say that long article is not what makes some of the writing or some of the writing styles to be good or bad, so an article quality is measurable by how meaningful is the article not by the length of the characters
This happen here often, people create thread, not minding how the audience being the contributors will feel, I know that threads are not created to entice anyone because what matter is the information that is attached to it, every is supposed to convey a good message that will trigger users to come up with their various opinion, I don't believe in versed writing, I go for a piece of writing that solves the problem with good quality, creating thread all the time will course this, but taking much time learning and relearning will help to come up with good threads that tend solve users problem, passing your information to readers must not be in large text, so that many readers will be interested in what you are bringing to the board.
Recently I've seen alot of threads where people just jump into writing an incredible episode without putting their readers into consideration.
I'm not a fan of reading very long articles and most times I think some posts ought to be simplified and summarized to get ease of attention and from my observation, it seems most users confuse quantity with quality and think, writing very long post simply means the post has quality which is wrong.
I've seen very short and straight to the point post doing extremely very well on the forum and people ought to them learn from them.
I agree, many people prefer brevity and clarity in their messages. Some people believe that long texts are not always necessary to convey information. It is important to find a balance between length of text and content in order to attract the attention of readers. There are very few topics that can be read with satisfaction. I'm not a fan of reading very long articles and most times I think some posts ought to be simplified and summarized to get ease of attention and from my observation, it seems most users confuse quantity with quality and think, writing very long post simply means the post has quality which is wrong.

I believe that those who can simplify complex concepts in a clear and concise manner are truly smart. Many folks fall into the trap of thinking that explaining things with complicated terms makes someone a genius and looks cool. In reality, that's not aligned with the goal of enlightening others. It's the ones who break down intricate ideas into straightforward explanations that truly shine. So, let's appreciate those who make things easy to grasp rather than those who add unnecessary complexity. It's about making knowledge accessible to everyone, not just the select few.

Well most people mistake quantity to quality and vice versa. The quality of a post doesn't depend on how short or lengthy a thread is but it depends on the body and information it carries. Lengthy post shouldn't be a problem except it didn't carry the necessary information, trust me there are some thread you will be reading because of the information it contains you will be interested to read .
However, not all lengthy post are useless some are very interesting

It can be so confusing sometimes before you finish reading the article, you may even forget what the article is all about. Despite the fact most long articles contains details information of what the writer is talking about but it should be precise and direct then if the reader ask for more emphasis then you can explain more to them on what they want to know about your article, my own opinion though

Long posts may contain new knowledge that must be conveyed coherently and regularly. maybe it's okay to make a long post like that.
However, if the post is like a copy-paste of the article, it will clearly be very annoying. why not summarize the main points of the information shared so that it is shorter and the purpose of the information can be conveyed briefly and simply.
We must still emphasize the forum's purpose for discussion, the information shared may be long or short. and each member's writing style is also different. but hopefully whatever is created will still have content.

Basically it's about orientation, most persons have got the orientation that they must make a length post to gain attention enough and merits probably because they think quantity means quality meanwhile it's not applicable in most cases, like you rightly said some straight to the point post even gat more quality than some episodes.

I think this post is most applicable and important for newbies so they can be properly oriented, in a bid to get a writing pattern they should also have this at the back of their minds too.
Basically I don't have issues with long post but I have issues with people confusing quantity with quality and in some cases, an informative post can be long without an offense and not the other way round where people write very long post and after burning your time to read, you discover the writer was only talking about one same thing.
I also agree with you that it is also an orientation guide that causes writing very long post and most times, when people introduce the forum to others, they give them the orientation that longer post attract more merit which is wrong

This also sometimes happen to me as make post with much words without considering the readers. The funniest thing is that I myself most times fine it difficult to read post with much words. Like OP has said, it's better to be small with quality rather than quantity.
Well, it’s not actually on the length of the post that matters, but it’s how the post is written precisely and direct to the point. While some posters often resort into writing long articles especially that all details should never be missed because they’re all important to make the reader understands better, but let’s also consider that reading long articles is time consuming and it will only make the reader gets bored and tired eventually. That is why as much as possible, avoid making long articles, it will only confuse the readers the main point of the article.
Shouldn't the quality of the post be what is looked at?
Exactly, quality is what shoukd be looked at irrespective of the post length and basically I have no single issues with the length of a post provided it is quality and informative but where the issue lies is with people who make unnecessarily long post that end up having no quality or passing no relevant information maybe in cause of making the post seem having quality.What I'm saying in general is that, some persons at some point confuse quantity with quality and some persons think that simply because is lengthy, it doesn't have quality but that isn't the case as I've also seen very short post doing absolutely well.

Shouldn't the quality of the post be what is looked at? I mean, the post can be long or short, it shouldn't matter as long as it is informative. This is just my opinion.
I've been on this forum for a while and although I've not been active and still new, I've read a lot of posts. Some posts need explanation and it has to be long for it to be fully explained.
I agree that there are posts that are just long and full of nothing, but condemning long posts shouldn't be the way to handle it.
I'm still relatively very new here, so I stand to be corrected.

That’s true, so many instances of writing a very long article and talking of same thing over and over again has confused many people in this forum, most especially the newbies.
I will advise that when writing an article one should pick out the vital parts to discuss and make it brief so that other can read and be enlightened on it.
Each user's writing and explanation style is different, sometimes it is long like a wall of text that is difficult to read. Sometimes there are also short but meaningless ones, and it all really depends on knowledge. There are long posts but they have meaning, but short posts that are concise and clear are the posts you might expect. It's up to you which one you want to get, it's not a problem. But you can't change someone's style easily, and if their posts repeat themselves without any meaning then report them as spam. I will advise that when writing an article one should pick out the vital parts to discuss and make it brief so that other can read and be enlightened on it.
I totally agree with you here, it always quality over quantity, but for beginners like me please pardon us because we are most times not properly oriented, we just want to feel active, but as I saw this post, you really caught my attention and for a matter of fact you are right, quality over quantity.
The best advice is for the person to go for quality and forget about even buying them because there is nothing more appealing than. Nowadays, considering the price you will spend when you go for quality, a lot of people will rush and go for quantity just because of their pocket. This mentality is killing the poor because in the process of going for something cheap you will realize that you have even spent more and that is what he was aviod.

Quality and quantity are both important, because "quantity makes quality".
I don't agree with you on this and I don't think quantity actually makes for quality as I've seen very short post that contained Alot of quality and even earned Alot of merits as a show of appreciation for it's quality.I'm practically not against lengthy post especially when there is actually a need for it and I also agree with you that the case usage also matters Alot when talking about quality and quantity.
Talking about JayJuanGee, I think we all know he doesn't just make random post but rather takes Alot of effort and time to put out a post and his exceptional.
I think the both of you are not making a mistake in your opinion cause you all are correct but when it comes to short quality post, the ability of the writer to summarize the message or information that is contained in his post in few lines tells how much writing skills he has but nevertheles, not everyone has the ability to summarize some useful information in few lines but if the writer is able to increases the length of the post due to his inability to summarize it in few lines without going off key, I am the quality still counts because of how detailed the information is presented and the message it carries.
A lot of people in the forum has the ability to pass good informations just by writing few lines while others must write very lengthy post to be able to communicate effectively but once they remain inline with the subject of discussion without going off key, I think both writers are said to be good writers regardless of the length of the post they make.
From a campaign perspective, quantity is important, you must create 25 posts every week to be considered qualified
From a merit perspective, quality is important
The two must work together, it's useless if you only make quality posts once a week.
Some people just write without proper enquiry of what they are talking about. This is an educative forum, a lot is shared and learned in this platform. So making proper enquiry before coming to share idea is a very necessary part of the process in the forum. Making quality post will help readers get proper information and understanding in the propose topic that is being discussed. But due to the several campaign task given to users, the rush to meet up with the task of the campaign will bring rise to people posting quantity instead of quality. From a merit perspective, quality is important
The two must work together, it's useless if you only make quality posts once a week.
To ensure proper quality content, do your findings and research on the topic you’re trying to talk about. So that readers can find your post relevant and useful. Posting both quantity and quality post should go in handy this will not only help build your profile but also give you the merit you deserve. Even though you can’t make quantity post, but make sure your few lines is authentic and relevant to the community.
Do you see that what I wrote above is irrelevant? I'm just keeping it very simple, so quality and quantity are important and they have to go together. The point is, you wrote it quite long

This forum teaches the quality of writing and not the quantity. If there are still those who pursue quantity without quality because they have a Signature task, of course it is the Manager's job to provide an evaluation to its members. But not all Signature supporters do that. In fact, I have to think 10-20 minutes to find supporting fact data. Because usually the argument will be better if it has a clear data source. I also agree that quality does not have to be long, but sometimes it needs a long explanation to provide a more detailed explanation because the understanding of members of each forum is very different.
I completely agree that quality is the most important thing a poster should strive for over quantity, even if you are posting within your campaign's maximum payout amount. Posting more isn't a problem as long as you're doing it for something of quality rather than just to avoid deleting posts that keep you from getting paid.
