Interesting question OP.
I think we are talking about two different things here.
One is the content and the other is the writing style.
In order for someone to be able to write a quality post on the subject of bitcoin, one obviously needs to be an expert on bitcoin. Today, bitcoin and crypto are not taught in schools, but on the Internet.
However, in order to make the post easier to read and understand, it is important to pay attention to the writing style, grammar, and write clearly and concisely, concretely answering the question or topic. It is easier for academically educated people to write such posts.
There are ways or paths to learning and actually getting an understanding out of what is been taught to you. Yes, having to have a good content is one thing and having to put your content in writing such that, it is comprehensible and can be easily understood is another thing.

Both you can afford through some quality education. It’s had to have some one who went through a proper institution of learning where your not been taught the course of study but, have an exposure to general and divers fields before any form of specialization not to easily understand concepts and not just that, to put them in an easily understandable pattern to writing.

90% of persons will always have an advantage over the others.

Do you think the level of academic qualifications and life experience that a member of forum has, has a direct influence on the quality of post that  he/she makes here on this forum?
Education and experience have a great influence on how one posts as they will write about something out of facts & knowledge one has attained over the years and the information will flow without having to think hard about a topic which could easily translate into producing quality posts!


Do you feel users who are known to be quality posters in various boards are individuals with high educational qualifications and vast experience.
Never thought of it this way!

But are we saying anybody that is well informed has a high educational background..no!! We have people that are more knowledgeable in certain fields because of the experience they have over the years,  meaning if its not a great educational background  then they have learnt it through experience !! By no means can post quality determine ones educational background,  sometimes it just takes interest in knowing more about the crypto niche.

As of our quality posters, let's just say it could be one of the two or both attributes that makes them reach this level.

I think the academic qualifications a person has would somewhat influence the level and the quality of the posts made on here. For someone from an English speaking country, you do not need an education to be able to speak and write English. But you do need some education in order to know how to write those words properly and be coherent in his written thoughts.
I think quality posters may not always be individuals with high academic qualifications(although a whole lot are highly educated) but are surely individuals with vast knowledge and experience.
To an extent a person’s educational background may influence how he participates in forum discussion but I do not think that academic qualifications will determine if a person is a good poster or not. This is a bitcoin forum, the main discussion here is bitcoin. Anyone be it a college dropout or a graduate who has a decent knowledge of bitcoin will both be able to contribute fairly to new and existing topics. Likewise, a newbie is a newbie regardless of your achievements in academia.

Yes, it do have some part played in quality of what a user dish out to the community and how they make the presentation as well in a well and understandable manner, we should not get it wrong that educational qualification is the reason why we offer a quality post, we have people with higher educational qualification but yet not having good reputation and lack the required and expect standard to make a post, this forum here is another school of taught everyone interested will have to pass through for a successful cryptocurrency experience.

Maybe they may have some a good educational background also to have boosted their performances on the forum and how they have also attached themselves to learning always, these people we are talking about took their precious time to invest by learning new things because they can adapt to change, this can also be achieved by anyone of us if we so desire to learn and give it all it may requires during the process, it's all about personal development.

Not really, since it will all matter on their experience on cryptocurrency since not all educated person who know crypto can contribute very well in this forum in terms of posting. There are college drop outs out there can share anything they learn thru the research they do so I guess educational attainment is not so important for staying relevant on every post they made in this forum.
If a person is self educated in cryptocurrency, their posts will be top notch regardless of their writing style, grammar etc. Readers respect the knowledge found in a piece of work over the grammatical errors that follows it. A good number of forum members think the best writer make quality contents in the forum, while so others may value the information shared in the content. A person with a PHD in English, who is not vast in cryptocurrency won't make any quality content in this forum, until he dedicates time to study bitcoin. Despite his writing skills and experience, he may not be able to contribute in the terms acceptable in the community. The education qualification should be centered on cryptocurrency, then it'll be a good attribute to quality posts.

This is the reason why we cannot discriminate people which didn't finish their college since overall with this it will all matter on the passion of people. If they are so interested with cryptocurrency for sure they are the one who can contribute more even if they didn't finish college than those people who just came in because they think its easy for them to learn it since they are college graduate and smart enough to know everything about crypto in short period of time.
A new subject takes lots of time to understand and same is required of bitcoin. A school certified professional cannot respond to bitcoin questions correctly if he doesn't read about bitcoin. In such scenario a person who has been studying about bitcoin will always be accepted to speak to a crowd of people about bitcoin other than a certified professor in a different field. Everyone listens to talks from individuals that have been working on the niche for a while. Their answers will be qualified as a genuine and quality information. Which is the benefits of learning from the qualified and educated person in the bitcoin market, regardless of their certifications.

In this point I will say yes because I know that the levels of your intelligence depending your educational background can cause you to make a proper arrangement of your words in bitcointalk, what we should ask our self is that what is a quality posts, a quality post for me is a post that is well polished in English language and also meaningful, so your educational or academic background can make you to have a good thinking faculty that will bring a new thing and development to the forum, they you know that someone that graduated with extension can be hired for thinking for a particular industry way of uplifting and have more firms.

I'm gonna say YES!
WHY? cus it's impossible for you to read in here when you've not got the basics in real life tutorings on how to do so. The reasons why anyone would wanna go to school is just to be able to read, write and learn how to think - these qualities are really imperative in here as nothing can be achieved without even knowing what it is; assuming the person in question can read few words technically (say - with his natural tech), how does he go about deciphering what he's read? Sometimes, peeps like these cannot even tell the sense in what they wrote with Thier own hands in English,( that's if they can write) but if they're intellectual developed, then Thier local dialects could help out, which is also promoted in here.

But then, take a look at people like o_e_l_e_o and LoyceV. These guys are too rooted in bitcoin things, out of experience they profer solutions to any bitcoin related questions and their posts are the most quality. I wouldn't want to question their educational qualification because it doesn't really matter.
Since I'm mentioned here: I haven't had any "classic" education about Bitcoin, but I do think an academic background helps. Once you have research skills (which nowadays is not much more than using a search engine and picking the right sources), you can learn and write interesting things about anything. It takes a lot of time though.

I cannot confidently say about the educational qualification but I am pretty sure that experience or knowledge of bitcoin and cryptocurrency guarantees quality posts in this forum. No matter how intelligent one may be, if they do not understand how bitcoin works, their posts about bitcoin will not be well connected. They will not be able to explain simple ideas in simple ways to newbies.

In the other hand, a professor of English grammar who knows nothing about bitcoin will only excel in boards like Economics, Politics and Society, etc. It is in such boards they will exercise their writing skills. So, bitcoin experience is what is need to make quality posts here.

I think experience is the king of it all. Your level of commitment on this platform will greatly affect on the quality of posts that you make here. This is not to completely do away with the academic qualifications which can help you to easily dissect and understand problems posed by members of the forum.

The only thing that can make a legendary on this platform with a low academic qualifications rate highly and more recommended that a Snr Member of this platform with PhD qualifications in a relevant field, is the EXPERIENCE!

Hence, this is why it is pivotal for every member  to remain committed.

There's some relationship between education and post quality. However this education is not the type acquired from the University or high school. It is the type acquired through rigorous study, reading and writing. This is the type of education that makes critical thinking possible such that the user is able to effectively make an argument for a statement without seeming to attack the OP. The more educated you are the better the quality of posts you make.
Yes, I agree with you, we can't find any education about how to be the best poster on this forum, and I also saw a few specific lessons about blockchain in several schools in developing countries. This is about how to process thoughts and ideas which can find it on any basic knowledge on college. So, the more we get educated the more quality post, however on this case, sometimes an educated person can't even keep up with this because have disciplined knowledge that can't implementing it on any post, usually this person has enough idealist, so his post considered like spam.

Most of these things are based on interest. There are some persons that always write quality posts before but when they get occupied, they might start reducing the quality of there posts because of they don't always have the time to seat down and write long quality posts like they used to. This cam happen to anyone. Sometimes you might just decide to reduce the quantity of your posts maybe because of illness of the present circumstances that we find ourselves. There are thousands of reasons that can make us to reduce the quality of the posts we used to make.

Writing on the forum has nothing to do with your qualifications, provided you can write and understand english to the extent that you can easily communicate your information without sounding dumb, you'll be fine.


Education basically plays a fundamental and a prime role in building a person’s personality. This gives us the understanding and awareness of how to maintain relationship with others. On the other hand posts on the forums serve another important purpose. First, they establish a structure that makes it easier to understand each other’s point of view in the network within the community. Second, quality posts contribute to valuable knowledge, understanding and communication and foster learning environment. This provides sufficient information to the beginners and the repetition of question and answers give a stimulating experience. Accordingly, if the posts has no meaning, then the learning process will be disconnected.

An educated user who has no idea of Bitcoin will definitely write a low-quality post in Bitcoin related topics while flourishing in other topics. However, when such an educated user gets information about bitcoin and digest them, they will make more connected and meaningful post than and an uneducated user also has information of Bitcoin.

That is the education we are talking about. For someone to ne able to communicate fluently without sounding dumb, that fellow is educated. The person mustn't be a professor in a particular field of study.
Talking about an uneducated person, it means this person may likely not know how to engage in healthy conversations. Not necessarily the grammar aspect.

I think those two aspects will definitely have a big impact on the quality of posts in this forum. Because everyone who has academic education and long life experience, will most likely excel in this forum. Because if people have an academic education, if they are leveled, most of them will definitely understand and understand how to make posts that are neatly arranged. This will make it easier for them to discuss with fellow members in this forum.
 
Likewise with the life experience factor, this factor is no less important than academic education. Because sometimes there are many lessons that cannot be obtained from academic education but can be obtained from life experience. So in conclusion these two factors will definitely help every member who joins this forum to make a quality post. And there is only one more factor that cannot be missed, namely learning about bitcoin and crypto as a whole. By having these three factors, I'm sure it will be easier to make a quality post.

Regarding education, I don't know, but what I believe, these people must be people who have very broad knowledge, especially in the field of crypto.
And when it comes to experience, I'm sure most of these quality posters must have had very extensive experience, in various fields.

I don't think so, academic qualifications are nothing people learn things when they start doing it practical. Quality post is subjective but as long as it conveys the context to the readers the extraordinary writting skills are not that important but someone with that skill can outstand from all others.

The level of education cannot be used as the main reason for all members in this bitcointalk forum to have good quality of posts. however, people who have a higher education generally have the mindset ability to complexly process information so they may produce better information.

But I emphasize again that the statement above is not an absolute statement. like the case, there are  may not a few members who don't have high education but they are good at making post.

Not really, or it has little effect on the quality of posts.
What's affecting the posts I think is the experience, and the knowledge of the user towards a particular topic.

TBH, I'm not that fluent in English when I started interacting into the forum, but as I watch English documentaries, English videos on Youtube, and speaking with English people sometimes, my way of speaking English got better, and better though I think there might be some times where I have broken English when I'm speaking with other people, and when I'm posting here, I can say that it's better now. I'm not a native English speaker as well, so I might have some broken English as well. Cheesy

Academic qualifications? I don't think so because there are some who didn't finish their school, and yet they're very good in interacting with other people.

Yes, I believe there is, with some exceptions, what you know and what you attained and experience will always show up in the way you interact, post quality is subjective it doesn't have to be a long post
you just need to be confident about what you know about the subject like someone asked about the technicalities of the mining setup and he asked if the setup is correct an experienced miner can just post

Yes its correct
and I consider it a quality post because you cannot confirm it if you do not have the technical knowledge.

For the first question, I would say that the post of an individual who has a higher level of academic qualification and experience, would be way different because of the kind of words/diction they would use. Also the way the individual gets to make his analysis or reference would be clearly evident.
One thing I have observed though is that one has to actually get used to the terms and language of this forum, both adhering to the rules before any of his/her post be counted as quality.

Number 2 question actually has to do with individual reasoning and intelligence on a topic or subject. How well one can read, understand and interpret what he/she has read, most importantly, the ability to use their own words to express an idea informatively, make users the best quality posters.

Wow! I came late to this thread. Concerning the subject and the content in discussion I will say yes. Educational qualification means a lot in the forum. Be a formal or informal. I believe many user here uses informal education while others use formal education and that is not the issue but your ability to understand the conversations and make a meaningful contribution to the discussion is what matters in the forum. Out of the four (4) areas of English, Syntax, Sematic, Morphology and Phonetics, you have to know 2 effectively for free and fair communication, and the two are: Sematic and Syntax.
I believe these two can produce quality post for a user. But to master these two is also a problem for some of the non English speakers.
The point you gave is there, but I would like to add that a level of seriousness is also a major to considered because you can be well brush in these areas of English and communication skills and still be lazy to contribute to your fullest, one thing is having the knowledge and education another is actually expressing your knowledge and wisdom in a community like this, I know of some of my friends and colleague who are well educated but seems to always be lazy in written conversation.

I don't think educational qualifications have much effect on a forum's member ability to make quality post. What is a quality post if I may ask? A quality post is a well structured thought that is correct, concise, comprehensible, and fits into the discussion or argument. There are persons who might have higher degree qualifications and still not being able to make a quality post. Their posts are disjuncted and full of gibberish that you begin to question the certificate they claimed they have. There are also some persons who are well educated with good degrees but lack knowledge of the particular areas being discussed. So educational qualifications can never be used as a yardstick.

An educated people without any knowledge on Bitcoin or any of the other boards that he or she is interested in will be sounding off topic when writing. He might be sounding like he's making sense when he reads the replies to himself but to others it'll just be full of useless or unnecessary thoughts. Writing on the forum doesn't demand you use the best vocabulary and if you use too much vocabulary (big words) your replies mightn't interest many people to read.

Most readers here needs the information they're reading to be quick and short and easily understandable (AKA straight to the point) which is an advantage to the average users that has the least qualifications. What's needed here's is to be able to communicate in English or your local language and also understand the topic been discussed so you can air your views without going off topic. Quality of post is different for each users here, for some users they demand you go the extra miles to prove your point while others just need you to be straight forward with your replies.

Formal education gives people the foundation which is to learn how to read and write. Higher education exposes students to the ability to learn skills in specific areas. An engineering student would be exposed to topics that relate to his area of specialization.

But one important skill that higher education infuses in graduates is the ability to research and learn more. Any member that can study information about the Bitcoin ecosystem will do well in the forum. It doesn't necessarily mean using good grammar but the ability to relate vital information that will help members of the forum. My point is that even members that have no higher education can give out quality posts if they can carry out research and come up with worthwhile information or discoveries. In summary, higher education can be an advantage because it has a way of training students to become versatile in learning but there is no assurance that it will lead to quality posts. It will take only individuals that keep learning, unlearning, and relearning to give out the best in this community.

It is difficult to post in this forum without sufficient educational qualifications. Especially in this forum posts in English are given the highest priority no matter what country you are from, if you don't have proper education about English grammar you will never be able to make good quality posts. Because if you don't know good English, your post quality will be very bad. There will be obvious mistakes in grammar. But you don't need to submit any educational qualification document to post in this forum. You must be proficient in English without submitting educational qualification documents. You can post good quality in forums only if you are fluent in English and have enough knowledge about specific topic.

Not really,anyone who can read and write and can also express himself will be able to make quality post. Continuous learning will help that person achieve it. Someone that doesn't have polished English can keep on reading and will able to become a good English man.

Nah, I don't think so about having a high education the only one I can accept is experience because experience is the best teacher. Especially the technical aspect of bitcoin,it needs practice and practice is experience. There are technical people without high level of qualification that very good in their field.

I do believe that there is a correlation about being educationally gifted compared to others who lack the sufficient education to construct basic sentences.

Most of the time, most of the posts that are being merited are created by the ones who have a grasp of the basic construction of a sentence. You do not entirely need to be an expert about cryptocurrency; you just need to convey your thoughts in a simple manner where anyone could understand it.

While there may be some people who are knowledgeable about cryptocurrencies that only a few know (e.g. mining, etc.), still, you may earn merits even if you are not quite knowledgeable in this field.

The educational qualification of any member of this forum has a direct influence on the ability of the user to make quality posts.
This might only have an exception, which would be native English speakers. Whether they are educated or not, they will be able to write and speak good English. However, the emphasis is not to be educated, but to have a good knowledge of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole.

An educated user who has no idea of Bitcoin will definitely write a low-quality post in Bitcoin related topics while flourishing in other topics. However, when such an educated user gets information about bitcoin and digest them, they will make more connected and meaningful post than and an uneducated user also has information of Bitcoin.

When someone with academic qualifications shares something that's not beneficial to other members it makes no difference to someone with very low educational qualifications that do the same thing on the forum.

I am not here for that crap, I am here for things related to crypto investment and Bitcoin, many college students in my area still find it hard to install a fresh Windows OS on their laptops and they sometimes come to me for help, I am not as educated as they are, but they don't know this.

It's all about the ideas you share and problems related to crypto that you can solve on this forum, whatever the status of your educational level might be is no use to me or the others.

 There's a relationship between the two but to an extent, because you can have a world of knowledge concerning a subject, but cannot be able to put it to writing for it to at least benefit those on this forum and since there's no provision for a voice note option here, it becomes useless.
 But what defines a quality post? It's one done in an understandable english and relates to the subject at hand, giving intelligible response to questions.

All that being said a good quality post is not only determine by the writing style and structure, the information in the writing is presumably more important than the writing style and structure, and even some educated (and also non-education) people are not that willing to put some good information and value to their post, so their post is just a low-quality.
People who have better quality education should be able to learn and write faster with better governance. But usually he needs time to adapt to what content he writes. Because I believe people have experts in certain fields only and they need to learn to become other experts, including in this forum. So there's no guarantee people with a better education will be smarter. Formal education is a way of getting recognition of having graduated and proof of being from an educational institution. So people who want to try even though they don't have education will certainly succeed, this is because of a habit not education.

Not necessarily, but the higher the education level, a person suppose to know how to write better, since one of the main requirement to finish an education level is to write academic thesis, they were forced know how to make good writing. On the contrary, with less education wasn't forced learn how to write properly, however that doesn't mean that less educated people were never learn how to write, some of them might actually like writing in any kind, and of course it will reflect on how they write post on this forum.

It should be like that, the higher the education and experience, the better the quality of the posts. Because after all they should have more abilities, more experience in terms of learning and adjusting to new things. Moreover, usually they are used to studying something well and then produce quality writings as well.

this is ideally what it should be. But in reality sometimes it's not like that. because this will also relate to the nature and habits of each individual. Sometimes there are also many who really like to study but do not have the opportunity to study at a higher education level. but when they enter the Bitcointalk forum, they have the same opportunity to learn.

in my opinion, education / academic level and life experience may be one of the factors that indirectly affect the technical quality and content of a post made, such as the choice of words and the preparation of an easy-to-understand narrative and so on.
but in my opinion the quality of a good post is not only from the educational and life experience factors, of course there are many other factors that influence it. even someone with a low level of education can still make "good" posts if they are people who are able to evaluate themselves, are always learning and adding to their knowledge and don't give up easily when receiving criticism for the technicality and content of their posts.

I don't believe it has a direct influence, but it does influence it to some amount. A person with adequate academic understanding tends to speak fluent and proper English, which I also consider to be a component of a quality post. In other circumstances, the level of academic background is irrelevant if the person can provide an understandable reply to the question posed in the forum. If the information sent is understood, the language used to pass it no longer matters.

They are not always users with higher qualifications and extensive experience, but the majority of them possess this attribute, which aids them in making a great post in the forum. In fact, a well-written and expressed message attracts more attention from users than a disordered one.

No, having a degree does not automatically qualify one to write an essential post. Some people with advanced degrees struggle to produce posts that are both high-quality and pertinent.
The ability to focus and be determined to learn from the forum allows one to create posts that are more clearly understood, even if they lack academic qualifications. This is because when someone is determined to learn from the forum, they will imply as much in their posts.
In addition, your writing quality will likely be at its highest if you are skilled at accurately learning/doing research.

Having educational qualification even to its highest level does not equate to moral upbringing, some can be educated but lacks integrity, some can be educated but yet behaves like an illiterate. Education is just an eye opener to civilization while personal distinction, modesty, integrity and loyalty were unconscious learning that follows personal interest and choice to decide. While education is a conscious learning taught by institutions.

You don't have to be an educated fellow before you can make a quality post, but education can go along way to polish your post with pleasantry savor and also help communicate in English which is the most generally accepted language. I also believe that to be able to read and write, education is the basic foundation to it, though we have educated fellows from various locales with a responsible sense of humour yet have not educational qualification.

The level of academic qualifications have influence on a post of a member if only the member have good understanding on what he/ or she is writing , the expression will be clear to anyone who reads  the post. But If the writer have no good understanding about what is been written, such post maybe seen as low quality post to people who read it.

Op pointed out educational qualification as a reason for making a quality post. I thought you would have placed experience in the other side of the defence to narrow down the debate.
However, both experience and educational qualification contributes the post. But I believe you didn't point out the most important, which is having a good writing skill and passion for writing.

Therefore, there are concepts of practice and theory. Having only theoretical knowledge, a person will speak in memorized terms, completely unaware that experience is of great importance. Those who have gone through this or that situation will most fully tell all the subtleties, in comparison with the usual theory. This applies to everything. How can a doctor who has never operated on a person tell a better story than one who performs operations regularly?
Therefore, education says little until we experience everything. See how juicy the posts of our gurus who know what they are talking about are, and how dry the posts look formulaically from those who have no experience.

In my experience what an education does or should do, is make one teachable and curious about different topics. Schools would not prepare one to post constructively in a forum discussing a unique technology like bitcoin, But it can;

• Improve their use of language and construction of sentences,
• Build their ability to research on different topics,
• Make them more open to correction and the opinion of others.

Academic qualifications are not necessary for telling others about information or knowledge, and yeah life experience is matters for making a post more specious.
On the contrary, I think it does. Writing is by far 99% a literal skill and one has got to be grounded enough to not only pass information but pass it in a meaningful way. By that, I mean the presentation of such information matters too and makes it more appealing. This is what education actually equips one with and as such, its a necessity for everyone who has taken up writing for a skill.

Intelligence is a continuous variation  that grows on individuals, your IQ from 10years of age and now is greatly different and so does your presentation too. This is the same as per your post quality on the forum, though might be grounded in a thing through an informal education process or any other learned skill, when it comes to writing or creating a post to be more appealing, you could always fumble. Your articulation, paragraphing and organisation skills would always be lacking. Education  takes care of all that!

Academic qualifications are not necessary for telling others about information or knowledge, and yeah life experience is matters for making a post more specious. For instance, If I really know about something or I really experienced one thing then I can share with you the whole thing very effectively because I was into that. For sharing real experience, I don't think it needs any academic qualification.
Academic qualification helped us for learning base concepts of any related things. For example; in this forum, all of us are mainly from crypto backgrounds, If we know much about programming then it could be easy for learning the blockchain, how it works, and its associated things. Specific qualifications are needed here to write effective post.
I think anyone who is in crypto industry, has a helpful mindset, he/she can help others in this forum.
You can also took me as an example; I'm doing a BSC degree in Medical Physics, where the academic qualifications does not effective here. All my sharing information is from real-life experiences or I know properly about those things.

A person with higher education probably written quite a lot of essays and maybe even some academic works, which easily puts them far above an average poster with severely broken English. Also people who studies math, programming, computer science, economics can use their knowledge when they talk about Bitcoin.

But I would say that the quality posters are first and foremost Bitcoin enthusiasts who are very passionate about Bitcoin and spent a ton of time in this community. Education is not a requirement, it's a bonus.

Partially correct. Basic education and knowledge about cryptocurrency is all one needs to fit in. A post written correctly with  less typos and grammar errors will reduce the quality of the post, discourage readers from reading the whole thing even if the content carries relevant information.

Bitcointalk is a forum dedicated to Bitcoin discussion. A professor in arts or science is just the same as a newbie who dropped out of high school when it comes to cryptocurrency. For example boards like Development & Technical Discussion, Bitcoin Technical Support are very specific. You can tell by the quality of posts written on these boards that posters know what they are talking about. I don't think they all graduated from MIT or Stanford, but I believe they read books about the subjects they talk about because they are genuinely interested.

I've seen people with nicely written posts telling basically nothing, I've seen people with posts quite difficult to read, but containing very well thought informative things.

Once a man, twice a child!
First, you need to get this idea of education qualification being equal to brilliance or intelligence off your head. There are lots of people who've high degrees they can't defend; no spark to show brilliance. When some tertiary institution graduates talk you will want to question the authenticity of the paper they hold as degrees. That's it. Having quickly dispensed with that ugly situation, let me say that one's academic brilliance has a way of rubbing off well on one's posts here. Being educated means being exposed to varieties of views and thought patterns as that's what books are for. Those two have a way of finding themselves in one's posts, whether those written in English or other languages. I'm one of those who believe that while English shouldn't be a yardstick for measuring one's educational qualification, those who can't write well in that language should be proud to maintain their vernacular than writing broken English. I enjoy reading well constructed posts, and not the other way round.

Post quality is relative depending on who is judging (with different levels of knowledge).
If knowledge level is 1 to 10 and mine is 3, then I can judge the posts of people with knowledge level 5 (in my opinion) are of good quality while it's not good enough from a level 7 point of view.

Not really. Even language isn't that important. Lots of people have made great posts in other languages and enlisted others to translate them.

I think it's mostly a matter of attitude, of wanting to help. You have several English speakers trolling the "Politics & Society" board, just to make their signature campaign's quote, and seldom (if at all) making a useful post, and you have others making great posts in broken English, or directly in a foreign language. I think nothing beats willingness to help others. Of course, you need to also know what you're talking about, and general knowledge also helps, but in the end, you can be the most knowledgeable guy in the world, but if you keep to yourself, you're useless.

Not entirely,
I tend to agree, not all are fluently using the English language and can speak very well on it even they had a level of academic qualifications.
The quality of our posts doesn't determine our educational attainment or determine academic qualifications, some of them are just being lazy of making a quality post because they care about the quantity over the quality.  Let's say just because of the signature quota they will force to post unsubstantial posts.

You can make a good quality post if you're knowledgeable about it and I advise everyone doesn't interact on a topic that you didn't know which only can create spam.  Quality means, correct grammar and spelling, should be on-the topic and contribute to the community, and shouldn't redundant answer.  It doesn't matter if you're a doctorate or even master degree holder.

It has effect somewhat.

In order to make a good post, you will need many things
  • At least, acceptable, not broken English
  • Better, with proficient English, well grammar, well sentence structure, and good vocabularies
  • Knowledge about things you post about: Bitcoin, security, privacy, etc.
  • In general, your education has effects on your post but your attitude to make good contribution is more important. From constructive attitude, you will spend more time to research, read and make helpful answers/ discussion
