If you don't know good English, you can't explain your expression in the in the right way. So besides creating good content, you must practice learning English. For a quality post, you have to write something that would be useful to others and not be considered spam at all. For that, you should know good English if you are going to write it on an English board. A post would be quality if you didn't know English but wrote on your local board in your native language as well. Criteria for a quality post should be in a useful manner.
Since majority here are using English language, the fact that you want to impress them with your own quality post, then you should conform to their language standard, and obviously that’s English. Hence, you have to  learn using English seriously so that you can attract the attention of majority, and once they notice and appreciate your post, then it’s easier for them to merit your post.

On the other hand, sticking to your own local language may not actually be a problem as long as you consistently earn merits from your posts. But if you seldom earn merits, then you should learn to go out from your comfort zone and embrace using English in your post. That could only be hard at first, but eventually you will get used to it if you consistently make use of it, and learn to observe as well from others how they manage their posts with English language.

OP, to the best of my knowledge, this platform is a global platform and as such, there are a million and one person's here with different languages other than english language. Some berely speak english while some do and some do write good english but are not communicating properly and so doing, they are likely to make mistakes in their spellings and other engagements here.

I think that posts that are well elaborate to pass across information irrespective of the fact that they have some typographical errors should be given or awarded whatever it deserves to. I have seen posts of that nature here. Such post are very educating and  self explanatory to members but at the entire end, nobody to commend or do the needful. It is quite disturbing though but however, posts should be taken seriously .

It is not only good English that makes someone a shitpost; there is also a situation where you will see a post that does not carry the symbols that will make the reader enjoy the reading. I also call that kind of post a shitpost because there is no way someone can read that post correctly, and a post that lacks symbols like commas, full stops, and some other symbols, even me, cannot merit such a post.. Another thing is when a user quotes someone and says something different from what he quoted, that is also a shitpost, and I won't merit such a post 



Some forum members are known to be shit posters by the way they use English in sentences wrongly, and some readers would say they can't read or merit a post that is written in broken English, and some members of this forum the English language is a borrowed language to them which it is not very familiar with them. Non English speakers will definitely want to use English to discuss in the forum because this forum is all about discussion and for other members to also understand their point because the English language is a universal language for communication.  

Any user who finds it difficult to speak the correct English can directly go to their Local Board and speak their local language either is not forced to post in the general board. Another reason why local boards are created in the forum is to make our communication easier, so anybody that finds it difficult to communicate in the general board should directly go to their local board. This is a learning environment, so most things that can be discussed here in the general board has also been discussed there, or if someone want to ask question and he don't know how to speak correct English is still okay to go there local board to ask that question in their local boars.

Comparing a well grammatically articulated English language post and an average grammatically expressed English language post that has a quality content, ofcourse it's the latter that's more important because it contains relevant information regarding to the topic in discussion. Despite the fact that well spoken or writing in perfect English is important, so English readers can better comprehend the message that is passed across, average spoken English language that answers questions or gives more meaning to the discussion should be considered more quality. As far as getting merit in the forum is concerned, I think that it's the giver's prerogative to determine whether it's well spoken English or the quality content of the post that'll motivate them to give.
most of us who is in this community that is not a language of English cannot speak English very well in this phone that is a country that English spoken language is their native language some of us who has like five different languages and also learn English language in university and the other institutions so English is not our native language and we cannot speak English perfectly it is very obvious and the quite understanding for everyone who English is not it language

English is not what makes a post quality, we have local boards where important discussion happen and they are alive without English. What makes a post quality is all about the representation, the easy comprehension and delivery is what makes a post a quality. Some people will write something good, right answer but the delivery are poor and it makes the compensation difficult for readers, this is applicable in any language be it English or any of the local board, post delivery is very important and easy comprehension.

Language does make a difference no matter how you put it. For a person to find a good pattern to put out their words and to compose a post or a message that would be easily understandable, that person would need to have a good understanding of the language they are going to use to compose that post or message. So the first thing they need is to know the language and be able to write in a good manner using that language.

The vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and even punctuation are what make a post or a message look very good and make it interesting for the readers.

If I'm trying to create a post in English with some great content and resources that I have put together, but I don't have a good command over the language or any of the writing skills, no matter how much I try, my post will fall flat and will barely catch much attention. On a contrary, if I make that post perfectly utilizing all the things I've mentioned above, the same post will catch more attention within the community.

It is not very surprising if there are some members with bad English written because it is not their main language. They are probably lazy to learn English, that's why their English is broken. However, I can agree that we can't give them merits with bad English written. Even more if the post has no value (no important issue) and isn't written in a constructive way.

What makes a post to be quality? Good English language or the content of the post?.
And if good English, well written in good sentences defines a post to be quality is it that Non English speakers are not qualify to be in this forum or to discuss in general boards because they are only good in speaking broken English which is a borrowed language.
Quality post will be determined by some factors.
- How the post is written
- How the content of the post
- How the accuracy of word choices in the post
- How to convey the content of the post

So both English language and the content are needed to make a quality post. Even, there are other things to analyze whether is a good quality post or a bad post.

Anyway, I think if there is a minor mistake it is still normal if English is not a regular language used by the poster. But the content must be good, no value content can't be tolerated.

Haven't you seen long post on this board about tutorials and guide and get they don't get much attention and merit? That's because some people are forcing to write, they are trying to impress people that they are good and understand what it takes to be a member of the forum but most often their post doesn't even have a direction, no delivery and comprehension.

If someone is not good at English, he can post on the discussion board of that country.  But the post content must be good.  If the content of the problem is not good or not developed then the post is not accepted regardless of the language it is posted in.  In this bitcointalk Forums must be  cryptocurrency related posts.  It is better not to talk about any irrelevant topic there.  Because there are many people in the forum who are new and eager to learn.  So if you don't post necessary and good content it will hurt others too.

Such a nice question you have asked. I believe this question or similar question has been in the minds of many to ask, maybe it hasn't occurred to them to ask in this manner you have done. I will have to give my own answer based on my personal experience in the forum.
  • How refined or connected an English grammar is does not define quality of a post. The quality of a post is all about the content of the post
  • But then, if a quality post (based on content) is written is an extremely bad English, it will be difficult for people to read and comprehend, thereby making the post non quality. Perhaps, it is only when you have read and understood that you will qualify a post quality.

I for one don't think everyone on this forum understands what broken English should sound like, if they haven't actually heard it before in real life.
Also, good English language is a prerequisite for making a quality post, just as much as the content is, because one won't actually make complete sense without the other.

I think if non English speakers can use text to speech translation tools, or some kind of AI integrated assistance, then they can perform even better than many old time posters here as they become exposed.

This is something which not many things about but that's the but b cause more than what we says how we say matters. But just by writing in paragraphs of same repeated stuff with a very good command over English, it's a mix of both it's a good content which will help others and even if not great English but just basic English would do.

I would say both of them really matters if you want to create a quality post. Quality in terms of its own content, and the fact that it will be highly understandable by merit sources once it will be written in English. So you really need to give both high consideration if you are hunting merits, otherwise aside from creating a quality post to help other forum members, you will come to beat your main purpose to earn merits if you won’t prefer using English language. While you can make quality post in your local discussion and earn merits, but if you are looking for a bigger audience and wish to earn more merits, then you have to abide with how majority are using, and majority prefer to use English language.

There's no qualification on this forum, aside from a few special boards. People can read and post regardless of their rank. Let's be honest, people chase merit and rank to get into signature campaigns, not to "learn" or "improve" or "contribute to the forum". It's all about money. And if you want to earn money you gotta but a bit of effort.
You're there, of course the average goal is money, but basically they're not enjoying the journey.
There are many users who rush to rank up so they can join signature campaign, while they fail to understand what a quality post is. I'm not sure what their motive is, but the fact is that money is their main motive.

Enjoying the journey in the forum to rank up is part of learn. They can do it gradually without feeling tired of the effort and effort. Of course, quality posts are about the content of the content written, not about who wrote it. If they have useful and useful posts, then merit should be the reward they deserve.

English is not everybody’s mother language, that is why we cannot blame some of us that are using some words wrongly in a sentence or some of us making wrong sentences; the main effort is to communicate, and if the message is passed, then the aim is achieved.

The content the post have is what determines its quality not the language been used to pass the information. The aim is to share information so any language used if the message has been passed is ok, but the forum general boards are demanding for English language to be used to share information.

I think a post need to be easy for people to understand it and the content of the post must contain useful information that can benefit other members of the forum, I think this is what the forum needs. Some members of the forum may have their own standards of the kind of post to read and contribute in, this is not a problem  it is just a personal standard.  

A post that is not well constructed with good English but written in a pattern that can be well understood when someone goes through and contains good content for people to understand and learn from it, is not considered to be post that is not quality because it has useful content that can helpful to other forum members.

Good English or the content of the post? Most definitely, the content of the post would count before how the English is written. But generally, what makes a post a quality one? It varies and not limited to just the content of the post and how proficient the use of the English language.
Individually, we’re different in how we see and interpret things. Our thoughts and opinions varies and we do not all think alike  so no one is bound by a specific rule on what could be classified as a quality post.

The content of the post is the primary thing as well as other aspects that people consider when classifying a post as a quality one. I’ve seen English speakers on the forum merit posts written in a different language in a local board. You’ve just got to pass your message through without making people think hard to decipher what you’ve written.

There are quite a lot of non-native English speakers in the forum who are quality posters, mind you that your English does not have to be impeccable, it just has to be decent enough for other users to understand what you are saying. There are a lot of non-native English speakers who have also said that communicating in the forum has helped to improve their English, so it is for a fact that if you communicate with others here, overtime, your English will get better.

Quality post is somewhat subjective, but i think if you firmly understand the subject of discussion and you are able to contribute to it, you are making good posts. It is all about garnering knowledge, either through reading the posts of other users, or from external sources, and if you do not understand a thing about a subject being discussed, do not post, but read. Do this, and you will subsequently make good posts in the forum.

All of this statement is correct, in my opinion and ways of understanding, what quality post is all about , is just a any post or comment that has ability to create, enhance, solve existing problem of member, and education reader with a simple and clear generally acceptable language.

There are four major elements that qualify quality post
1. Content of information
2. Clear generally acceptable language
3. Problem solving
4. Lesson learned

For any post be regarded as quality the content most be interactive inorder word it should be attention seeking content.
Language must be clear and generally acceptable for the information to be perceived without misinterpretation.
Post or a reply comment should be able to solve or profer solution to any existing problem or have ability of solving unexpected problem to come.
Lesson learned very important, ni body waste it time in anything that seem not profitable or interesting that your posting or passing as information must be able to change the reader way if thinking by balancing his mental and

psychological fitness. This how I perceive quality post and comment and no post that hass the four elements that lacks reward or Merritt.

Coming from a non English speaking country can actually be a huge challenge with keeping to the demands of the post quality of the forum. This is the reason I respect and admire non native speakers that are still able to engage in the forum discussion constructively and intelligibly. I think the reason for the creation of the local boards was to address this concerns but as the case may be, we have the general board, hence the need to have a uniform language of communication, of which English was adopted. The best we can do is to adapt and improve our English to be able to remain relevant.

Now on the quality of post, just like many have commented, it is not about the grammar or choice of words but mainly about the quality of information conveyed in the post. Three lines of post can contain better and helpful information than five paragraphs of empty and unnecessary wordings.

A post is quality if it is informative and the content of the post is correct. I agree that many of us are not very proficient in English and many post here in broken English. English is the international language Our people connected to this forum have different mother tongues. As a result they are not very proficient in this English. We have members attached to this forum who are very proficient in English and are always able to post good quality posts in English. Whatever way we who are not proficient in English post they should get the meaning of the post right after posting and to get that meaning right they should read the post well so that they can understand the mistake and correct it later.

We have to decide whether the quality of the post is correct or not because if no one can learn something from the post we will post then it will not be informative. Many people tend to write large posts but their posts are not informative and there are many who post in small format and their posts are very informative. So when we post we all should maintain the quality of post.
