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.

I think this particular discussion of quality of a post has been raised several times but yours has a different perception totally.

In the contest of post it's a subjective based decision, what I could consider quality post is not what someone elses considers quality post. Most English native merit source finds it hard to merit post that are not well constructed in English, punctuation marks etc but that doesn't mean that a good English speaker or writer is a quality poster, so if a non English native forum member wants to write according to the description of some merit source for there post to be merited then they should consider using an AI tool, like grammarly to construct their sentences in a very good English. Perhaps that a good solution but one can still write a very quality post with a lot of mistakes in English yet still receives a lot merit than expected, I can remember a legendary member of the forum who does not really arrange his write ups very we yet is very much valued here.

What I'm saying in essence is meriting is subjective (biased), it's totally the decision of a merit source to merit you. So your assumption that non English members of the forum does be long here as a result of poor English speaking then countries with English would also not here. We all are here to facilitate each others, so as a solution has been reach that non English natives should us AI tools to make good post, hence it's not longer a general problem if one isn't merited by a merit source because of poor writing.

Speaking about what makes a post quality , Good English is quite nice for easy communication so that the message will be well communicated To the public But looking critically To what defines a quality post Good english might not be prioritized, reason been that your english might be well organized But Lacks quality And has no valuable information To pass To the public.

However, from my own perspective what makes a post quality includes one of the followings :
1.content: The content should be educative, valuable And have the ability To infulence the readers.
2.Precision : The post should be precise And the information should be conveyed without excessive words.
3. The post should define a particular area of interest . And many more .

Good language could also be a sign of a post being a good quality because if a person isn't then the content wouldn't be understood right away. For example of it is the grammar which will help you understand the topic or its content or what the poster meant. A person needs both in order to write well or good enough for others to understand easily and the content which a person is trying to share. If s person doesn't have both then if it's in person then that person is most likely talking gibberish.
We should work according to budgets lay down and not outside the box. Everyone knows basically what they can take in this season. Never relent or excruciate posts that are irrelevant all because you're keen on meeting up targets for the day. We should always pave our way to enlighten the solid spot and bring on the best qualities within ourselves. We can sits in position of making high quality good posts and also make sure we're winning.

IMO what makes a post quality is how simple it is, even if your written is too much and it's not simple for one to read an understand it that means it's not quality enough, if you are supposed to receive a total merit of 5 or 10 you will only receive just below 5 because its not quality enough for one to read and understand them. A simple post that contains a quality contents will always receive merits from different users and lastly, what is quality for Mr A will not be quality for Mr B that's just the truth.

A post is said to be of good quality if it conveys useful information that is beneficial to the forum and her members especially post that has information that is not well known to members of the forum, for example, post that contains current Bitcoin related information and  other new informations that may have been discussed here but some members are yet to come across. The post must be written in a language that is well understood by everyone which is in english language unless it is a post that is made in a local board which the local language of the op is accepted there but if not, the post has to be written in and understandable english and the writeup must be related to the topic of discussion. So for post to be of good quality it must be written in good english language and the content must be simple and correct.

I think both things are mandatory to be considered as a quality post. Every person has their own choice but if give my suggestion then I think the content of a post is more necessary than language. I am saying this because if you don't know English you can post it on your local board where your post will be merited but if took the opposite of it like a person who is well known in English but if he has low low-quality post then how he will earn merits. A person should know English (I am saying this just non-speakersaker)in such a quantity that other people can easily understand his work so when good content and a good English post can combine no one passes through it without giving a merit.

We must also remember that in our realities of fighting AI, a competent post with excellent grammar and punctuation if it is not yet equipped with live notes of presence on the forum, is very easy to be confused with AI.
Therefore, even if the posts are not entirely literate, we can all understand each other, but it is better to always answer the topic of the question briefly without loading the texts with water. “Brevity is the sister of talent.” Tell the essence so as not to interrupt the reader’s attention from the topic.

Good language could also be a sign of a post being a good quality because if a person isn't then the content wouldn't be understood right away. For example of it is the grammar which will help you understand the topic or its content or what the poster meant. A person needs both in order to write well or good enough for others to understand easily and the content which a person is trying to share. If s person doesn't have both then if it's in person then that person is most likely talking gibberish.

Quality is subjective and individual based what seems to be quality posts to you may be looked at as shiopist by another user's it all depends on the background of the reader, so there is no universally acceptable mechanism to determine shitposts and high quality posts, but sure from the content of the posts majority should be able to see how quality the post is or it low quality from the grammatical approach and use of words Plus what other information added to the discussions this are things to look out for in a quality post's here in the forum.

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.
Learning at least how to be a decent English speaker would help. When I registered here in the forum, my English is kind of broken TBH. What I did at that time is that, I spent hours and hours watching videos that are English subtitled. Documentaries, entertaining videos, tutorials. Everything that is English. I learned from it and fairly enough, I learned from it. I'm not an expert in communicating using English language since it isn't my primary language but I can say that my English isn't broken compare to other users here. Cheesy Sorry. Sorry.

Anyway, I can't say the exact factors on a post to be "at a high quality", but what I'm doing is that, I'm just sharing what I know, and just being me. If you're a good English speaker or at least a decent one, it will reflect towards the content of your post. A not-so-good English speaker can't make good post because his English is kind of broken. On the other hand, those users here that has English as their primary language will create a good to high quality posts here. At least that's my observation.

It wasn't stated in the rules that Non-English speakers aren't quality to share their opinion in different boards outside of the local board. It's just that, being good or at least decent in speaking English would help you in terms of the quality of your posts.

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.
 

English could be the universal language in the world because of its widespread all over the continents in the world but with this edge it has over other languages it is still not the most widely spoken language in the world as their are many other languages that has more speakers than them globally. It is because of this disparity in languages that local boards are created for easy communication and understanding between each other. Because of the importance of communication in the forum, it made some members of the forum to ask other local members of some board to translate their useful posts into their local dialects for the benefits of them all in the local board. It is not a crime trying to communicate in English if you really want to communicate with others here, it is still part of the learning process and such users shouldn't be scrutinized or judged for that since they are only trying to learn.

Everyone will have their view on what good quality post is, but i will measure a good quality post by the content it contains and what it is trying to pass. The language does not matter to me if the message and the most important content of the message is rightly passed and understood by the readers. Everyone was once a learner and had to pass through the learning process before they became better of whom they are today in the aspect of the language they are using for communication.

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.

• Language can also determine someone's understanding so that their post can be considered quality.
• the content of the answer, humor, also does not escape the attention of other members so that the post is considered to have a good impression so that it is considered quality.
• information, knowledge developed here by other members can also be considered quality.

The point is: the post is valuable not in terms of the length of the writing, but the content of the words or answers that are more meaningful and helpful are the main points for the member, so that it is rated as a perfect answer.

Actually, someone considers other members to be qualified, can be seen in a broad and diverse way, for example, posting a sense of humor also doesn't go unnoticed by other members, meaning that making a post that is a little educational and creative is good enough to be considered, of course the main capital language.

Good English language can be solved easily through the use of grammar and spelling tools like grammarly and other app that help improves sentence construction.

The content of the most matter because even if the post has a perfect english while the content is garbage then it’s still a garbage no matter how elegant the post construction is. It’s reading an AI post without a thought of a real human. Even with a broken english while the thought is gold then it can be considered as quality post as long as it’s understandable and doesn’t cause an eye bleeding to read.  Cheesy

I don't find any post shitty just because the English was not properly organized. Intelligency is not rated by how much good anyone can be with tje English vocabularies.
There are numerous existing languages which single handed individual can't communicate with them all but that doesn't change the potentiality of the individual that he/she can't make some good quality and constructive contributions here.
That's why we've the local boards but depending on the range of your bitcoin adoptions in your countries. So if we can't communicate effectively with the use of the English language which is the general communicable language in general forums, you can just stay by your local board.

I know some of the core native forum users who're not fluent with the English language uses the translator to communicate with the audience in the public section boards such as here and of which they're unabled at times to figure it the google actually had them the right wordsein place.
If you're not making mockery of any poster here simply because the English wasn't right, you can actually connect to what the poster is trying to pass over to the public and then it's just left for you to comply if actually you've something to contribute towards it.

So to me, quality posts are posts which offers help to the forum users. Helps such as bringing solutions, making research and discovers new ideals that may be helpful to the audiences and how you can help solve some solutions of an issue currently on ground or how to prevent or offers future helps.
In all, quality posts are valuable posts in need and indeed.

There are lots of factors on what makes a post have that "quality" that differentiates with other post. But you also have to understand that there are even posts that are quality in nature but they do not garner merits. So if your question is on how posts are "quality" and their association with merits, then I think you must have a different perspective on it.

Generally, a post is a quality reply if it has substantial information that can help others. In addition, a post may be considered "quality" if it provides information to the public that has not yet been shared. For example, there are people who continuously share tips on forecasting about the price of BTC. That may be considered as helpful information that may be categorized as a quality post.

Though this may be subjective, you must also understand that it does not mean that if a post/reply lacks merit, then it is not quality. Those are two (2) different things that can be proportionate or in conflict with each other depending on how you see it.

Not everyone who joins this forum uses English as the official language to communicate in everyday life, members who are not native English speakers will try to do their best so that their English is good and can be understood by other members when reading it.

The two have an interrelated correlation, it's useless if your English is good but the content of the post doesn't have a clear direction. Quality posts will be judged by the language used to make it easier for other members to read and the constructive content of the post.

There are no restrictions for anyone to build communication here or continue discussions as long as he is able to use English fluently and every word he writes has many benefits for other members. Members like this deserve to be called quality posters even though English is not their native language.

Both are equally important in my opinion.

English is not the first language for most of us here, but we have learned it through constant practice and speaking/writing here and there. To be honest, it's not that difficult if you have a general understanding of things and have basic reading and writing skills.

Coming back to the topic, a post that contains good content and is relevant can be considered a constructive post, but if it has no English or grammatical mistakes, it becomes better because the readers won't have difficulties understanding the sentences constructed.

A lot of people I see in the forum use a single word multiple times in their post. I know English isn't their first language, but one should at least have the basic understanding of how they should write a post and how to use different vocabulary for each sentence so that it doesn't sound bad or repetitive.

If you're discussing the language barrier and its issues, unfortunately, individuals aren't able to fully benefit from current technology. Many users within the community resort to alternative methods to make their voices heard. If someone uses an AI, they are reported on a thread that identifies them as an AI user. However, this is a never-ending issue as no one understands the issue or why this came into existence.

Quality posts that contain information about developments and solutions to help overcome obstacles experienced by other people.
Good English is part of what makes the content of the post look good because other people who read it can understand the content of the message well.

Not everyone is a native English speaker like me, so some of us try to understand every post that is made as a form of respect.
Don't be a non-native English speaker so you can't convey something that is informative and a solution.

The concept of “quality” of a post is an abstract and subjective perception of the user (everyone), which can have a radically opposite assessment.

The content of a post can't be good without “normal” (understandable to others) English. A good post must have clear content for readers and without clearly expressed thoughts (good English) this is impossible.

There are many users on the forum for whom English is not their native language, but this doesn't prevent them from leaving good and high-quality posts. This requires knowledge of at least basic understanding of the English language. You won't write a good post if you can't put together a few words in English, because it will be perceived as rubbish. This is not a discrimination of the forum based on language, and if someone has difficulties with this language, they can communicate in the appropriate language section (the closest and most understandable). If you want to talk (posting) in English, you will have to adapt to the appropriate section and demonstrate at least basic proficiency in the language.

The answer for that is both. Of course someone must have a very interesting topic too asife from writing it perfectly. If you are going to post on an english section expect that some readers are well versed on english but sometime other users dont mind it especially those newbies or users who arent that fluent on english as long as they can deliberate the message or idea they wanted to tell in a post. But since we have a lot of local boards, its encourage some to post their for non english medium so they can convey what they wanted to share without much criticism on basic english.

Content of the post is what makes it quality and such will not be seen as quality as well except the person reading it have some taughts on what he is reading to be meaningful to him, the poster is not the one to judge of his post being quality, those coming in contact with such will tell, quality post is not also by how lengthy the content is, or the grammatical expressions used, the post must contain a particular idea, information or something insightful that other people could learn and benefit from, read more on this aspect https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcointalk-posting-etiquette-5184741

To me, I believe that the forum already has an open door policy, so it's definitely open to everyone regardless of if you are good in English or not, the forum is a place of discussion where we discuss about Bitcoin and other important things of life.

So going back to the question of the thread, what makes a post to be considered quality, to me the content of what is in your post is the most important thing, as long as your English is good enough to pass  your message across, besides, I have seen post with a very good educative content that is not  been presented well,  but it still attracted merit because the person reading it was able to understand what  the author was trying to say, so the content is what makes a post to be refer as quality to me.

You will need both.
  • Idea is important for your post content and if you lack of idea, your post is zero-value if how good writing skill you have.
  • Writing skill is important and it is not only contributed by language. If you have acceptable English language, enough basic vocabularies, you can compose a good post. It's when writing skill helps you to compose a good post in structure.

If a poster lack of idea, try to expand the post too long, it is a shit post.

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.

English is a borrowed language for most of us here in this forum. A lot of forum members understand that your English can only help people understand what your thread or comment is saying.
 
You don't need to write completely in correct English before you can say your post is quality or not. Just try your little best for your post to be readable by others, and then forget about all the little mistakes. It will earn you merit and get the attention it deserves if it's worth it.
 
All that matters is that you have something to offer. If the information is solid and can help others, then it can earn you merit. Your post just needs to carry keywords based on the type of information it's trying to pass, and it will earn the Op merit when anyone who understands where the Op is going comes across it. 
 
If good English is what they look at before meriting some posts, a lot of members, including me, might not get to where they are right now. I have seen profiles with poor English that are making names for themselves, and their merit count is not bad at all.
 
You, as a person, are not minding anything; you just need to work on your English in order to expand your communication skills when the person finds himself or herself outside the country's borders.

Certainly writing in good English is an element of post quality, but it is not the only element. It is just a part that makes up the whole. Other elements in my estimation that determine the quality of a post, regardless of whether it is merited or not include how relevant the reply is to the topic being discussed and how relevant the topic is to the particular forum. The OP shouldn't be trying to sell us NFTs in a gambling thread or trading board. Another element is whether the post is informative, insightful, and if the OP does their best to provide their own perspective on the topic rather than copying an opinion piece and posting it on the forum. A quality post should be able to provide accurate and factual information, devoid of misinformation or disinformation. With regards to writing, it is irritating to read a post on a public forum that is incoherent, hard to understand, disorganized, and filled with so many grammatical errors that comprehension is defeated. Even if English is not your first language, you can always ask for the opinion of someone who writes better to review your post to suit your target audience. Anyone who isn't willing to make an effort to improve should stick to their local board.

Having distinct and proper information.
Not everyone here is an English speaker so English quality is not a measure for quality posts. I have come across a lot of posts with informal English and still carrying quality.

Also op I don't think broken English exists. Plus if we're were to measure a post quality by English this your post could be rated as a low quality one by a formal English writer based on your grammar and punctuation. Forum members often rate post quality based ease of understanding, information and proper paragraphing. Using proper English is just an added benefit not the main measure of post quality.

Don't you think the Forum Admin knows about the non English speakers here on the forum and that's a major reason why we have Localboards? If a users finds it difficult to communicate with good and correct English, then he shoulde try to find his Localboard which speak his local language. English isn't a universal language though it's a well known dominating language for many countries but not their first mother language.
I've come across some non English posters who still tries their best to communicate in the general boards and yet create good quality posts. So not all non english speaker are shit posters as I don't even know where you are getting that idea from.

I won't deny there might be someone don't want to merit broken English post because it's their subjectivity.

Many people meriting someone because the user post is informative, solve other people problem or correct someone else mistake etc which is quality.

If you create high quality post with perfect English, there's no other way for other user to see it as shitpost.

If all users meriting someone just because of perfect English, I'm sure I would still become newbie till today.
