From my observations, Possibly, the first account holder gained more merits as a result of his or her contributions with good effort posts either answering newbies or discovery of errors or lapses which makes them get more merits. While the second possible had low efforts post which did not really yielded merit for them.

I think sometimes it is also as a result of boards where some majorly post. There are some boards where attention is not given much so in that aspect the possibility of getting merit rewards for a quality post there is small only if one applies for meriting through any of the merit source threads.

Post count, activities, and merit are not indicators of post quality, as other members have stated.However, there are some cases when I due use a member's merits to assess the quality of a post. If a post is of poor quality, I don't think that member will receive many merits for it, so I always assume that posts from members who have a lot of merits relative to their activities are of high quality. This is because I understand that merit are awarded for posts with useful information that are also positively constructive.Consequently, I'll claim that we can assess a poster's quality based on its merit also.

I think what term as a quality post is the content itself and not the posts number, merits and activities. Quality post is the post you make a reasonable contribution. And it is the quality post you make that will bring merit. Quality post must be on point. When you create a thread , you should make sure that the subject and the content must align. And also if you are making comments, your comments must tally with the subject and the content of the Op.
Although, users see threads and comments different ways. What is quality for one user might not be quality for another users.

It's not really about the number of your posts, activity, or merit. It's called a quality post because the context includes a great quality of ideas or opinions. Merit isn't the basis of a quality post. Others may give a lot of quality posts but sometimes can be overlooked and don't get much attention, especially in a thread with a lot of replies. Also, you can get merit by replying with a single-line text. It doesn't mean it's a quality post but someone just appreciated it or agreed with what you've said. Merit is like a way of showing appreciation towards a user. And the idea of quality posts can vary depending on each person. It means it can be subjective. Others may find your post with quality while others may not.

Sometimes we are too concerned about meeting a certain post standard that we forget one important tool about posting and that is originality and uniqueness. Aside from the fact that your post must be insightful and educative, some posters try to imitate a certain pattern of posting style and forget to be unique.

I think it's a bit frustrating to see that you make quality posts yet the reward (merits) are not forthcoming. The best thing to do is to keep up the work, before you know it, you'd get not just merits where you didn't expect it and also, the more quality content you drop, you become recognized by merit sources in the forum.

You're right. A whole lot of people are concerned about being seen as or tagged a spammer that they copy the writing styles of someone else that they perceive to be a quality poster.
We're all different and unique in our own way and express ourselves differently and being anonymous on the forum, I see no reason why we can't be ourselves.

It could be quite frustrating to make posts we think are quality posts and don't receive any merit for it but that's why there are open threads where you could submit yours or someone else's posts that you think are merit worthy.
Also, if we're all posting on here to educate ourselves on different subjects, then it wouldn't be so frustrating if we don't receive as much merits as we think we deserve.

The quality of the post depends on someone's point of view in judging.
For me personally, regarding the quality of posts, judging from the side of the content contained therein and how evenly the posts are made.
In addition, I also judge a post by how important the message conveyed through the post is.

You want to associate the quality of the post with the achievement that someone will get with the acquisition of merit? if yes, then show your idea with writing skills.
In terms of ranking up, a person must meet predetermined requirements such as the number of posts, activities and number of merit.

Well, for me, I would say that both accounts have good post quality because there is not much of a gap between the merit count and their activity. The reason why I think so is because this forum is just like every other social media platform where discussion is going every minute, and you don't expect that out of 20 statements that someone will be making a day, all will be 100% high quality, because some posts might not really be of good quality, but those with good quality will receive merit quite often.

Activity counts are usually done every two weeks. Your activity will increase by +14 on the last Wednesday of the second week, so a good poster should at least receive up to 8 merits before the two weeks are complete. For me, that's how I think a quality poster should be measured. What defines the quality of your post is that you should at least earn up to five merits or more in a week.

So, @OP, if you are thinking of becoming a quality poster, then you should at least earn up to 5 merits in a week, although since you are still a newbie, it might not be very easy because you are not yet very familiar with everything on the forum, but as time goes on, you should be able to receive such a amount of merit every week.

I would have been happy if I could have found a genuine answer, all by your own. You have created this thread, without realizing your full potential. Next time first do your search and if you are unable to find the desired reply then ask a question! on this thread. Do refer this thread to get a good idea about activity - FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit.

You can't compare the though, Activity, Merit and Post Count has nothing to do with it. Others have posted already some threads that might help you out with regards to all of them.

But I will say that Merit, or how someone gave a member a merit is very subjective and so it varies from individual to individual. As long as you are engaging in a good conversation on a certain topic, it's good enough and for sure merit will come. Regardless if you're reply is just one liner or you created a thread yourself to help others.

Merits and activity have nothing to do with the post quality, sometimes it does because merit farming is also very common. Sometimes with luck, you can generate 20+ merits from a single meme post or something like that and sometimes after creating a good topic, investing time in it, and guiding people about your view cannot bring even a single merit for you. What values your post is the content and originality in your content. Consistency can also be considered as a point in the quality posting.

If you are regularly creating good content on the forum and not getting any response in the form of the merits there are threads where you can post references to your posts and moderators can have a look at them and merit you. It is hard for merit sources and moderators to merit on every quality post because you know very well how many topics are daily created and how many posts are daily made. Merits are limited in every section.

To maintain post quality everyone should post less but not meaningless.

It seems I don't agree with this and that's not how quality post count.
IMO, the best advice would be this, don't interact with a topic that you don't know because if you'll insist it will become irrelevant to the discussion and surely will create spam. As long as you've contributed to the discussion that would be a quality post for me.

However, as a newbie, I advise you to read more than more posting, always have a source and verify what you contribute, and make sure it will not mislead other forum members that will possibly create FUD.

Despite the fact that the number of merits does not directly correlate with the quality of posts (sometimes merits are given simply for agreeing with the author or for a funny joke / picture), if you want to pay attention to this, you can calculate the ratio of merits to the number of posts made. The forum average is less than 0.2. So if you meet a user who has a much higher ratio, then you can consider him as an established member of the forum, writing posts appreciated by others.

The quantity of posts, merits, or activity does not necessarily indicate a quality poster because there are numerous merit sources on the forum such as Fillipone and the sceptical chymist, who routinely award merits. In order to increase their merits, some people would post on nearly every page of the Filippone merit giveaway thread, which has now turned into a spam zone and there are some local boards that giveaway merit as well and since its not a general language for everyone most of their post are for limited audience. Quality posts are typically determined by a person's knowledge threshold. A knowledgeable user will post and make a significant contribution to the forum. Activity and posts are indicators of how frequently you participate in conversations and how long you have been a forum member.

It mean engaging post that can catch interest of other people, so stay relevant on the discussion made so that they could see that you post relevant and it made them think to give you a merit.
You can also get a merit by posting good threads which has not been posted by other member. That's why good research is important so that you can share something helpful and from that you might be rewarded a merit by other respected forum users.

If you have the experience of the first instance as made by the example given above, it means means you have indeed been posting well and it's one of the criterials to proof your quality post efforts, if you have the second experience as well doesn't mean you aren't posting with quality taughts, maybe where you often made your posts to are boards or threads that often needs less merits being distributed unlike other boards where merits is commonly distributed, also the quality of taughts in your post matters, which means lately you have been identified with making post with lesser quality insights deserving to be merited, one can as well improve on his pattern in this case.

There is no need to monitor your activity and post count in comparison with your merits. Even it's doesn't actually mean the reality about your post quality. But receiving merits is a common way to identify your specific post is outstanding but not all.

If your activity is more than in comparison of merits but posts have a deep meaning, they are useful and not meaningless then you are a constructive user. But you may not receive because your posts aren't noticed by Merit sources or your board isn't oftenly visited by them. If you are continuously helping others , sharing resources , your experience and advices then you will surely be appreciated by receiving merits and your post quality is much better but still there some will be unlucky posts. So post quality is how much your posts are helpful for the forum by maintaining all the forum rules.

To maintain post quality everyone should post less but not meaningless. But it would be appreciated if someone continue posting actively and contributing in the forum.

There is nothing much about these two example you have given
The only difference there is that the first person has lesser post count than the second person, whereby the second person has a more post count than the first person. The more post you have the more your activities increases over time but that doesn't show how your post quality is, but however your merits earning defines how constructive your post are but naturally some fellow are free giver of merits it could be they applied for a post review in other for them to gain more merits.

Yes, you are right but there is no confirmed and universal rule which could tag someone a good poster while other as bad. I have seen so many profiles here and mostly what i found is, people who make great contributions like, in helping newbies to learn the platform, helping newbies to learn the basics of Blockchain etc. Are rewarded with lot of merits.

Just check some example below.
The Lightning Network FAQ
This is only one topic of the OP i have mentioned here, and you can check the number of merits he earned and on the other hand you can must have read many topics which seems to be so general and useless because most of them are keep repeating and that's why they earn less merits.

Which shows that, if one is good poster it means he made some valuable contribution in platform but there is another one who do not made any valuable contributions just posting replays in someone's topic. Which might be valuable to someone but not to other because tagging some as good and bad have no universal rule.

Not really. Activity only significant to note when you are closing requirements if you are gonna rank soon enough. But doing a quality post means more and merits are just a proof of that since people are giving off those to users sharing a helpful post (quality one I supposed). There are specific activity needef for each rank but that accompany with prerequisite merits too. But dont mind that and keep doing contributions. Sooner or later it would make sense to you.
