What appears to me as quality today and gain my merit might appear not quality to me tomorrow: It's all about my mindset at that time, my need or opinion (be it wrong or right) since the poster toed same lane with me, at that particular time it is a quality post.
I can relate to this, looking at some posts I merited when I was still a beginner (that's when I encounter them as I'm reading through the forum), not all I'm that happy with as it's clearer now that those posts didn't merit my meriting based on the knowledge I have now or they didn't merit the number of merits I sent out and also looking at my merit record it's obvious some of my works didn't deserve as much merits as they received.
Some examples are posts of opinions of altcoins been a good investment over Bitcoin, then I wqs more frequent on the altcoin board so such type of posts always came in, in their numbers and then I wasn't a big fan of Bitcoin which I'm regretting currently.
The fact is not all the posts that receive merits get those merits because of their quality, some get because of the users reputation of been a active quality contributor to the forum. Is that a bad time, I won't say it is. Merit shouldn't be a problem for any quality poster, the idea behind the merit system was to stop spammers from ranking up and continuing with their account farming on the forum.
Quality posts as regards to this forum is largely dynamic and subjective;

A lengthy post that is well worded, well punctuated and grammatically appealing can become a quality post to the reader that has fallen in love with the language tone rather than the content (message).
A reply of a user by only dropping a link to the solution of an OP can automatically be the most quality post even if he is not the author of the post in the link.
I drop an opinion, 70% of the thread engagers were against my opinion, just one user came and aligned with me, no matter how long or short, that post will be quality to me.
A post that asks a question that led you to research before reply is automatically a quality post.
There is no way I can narrate my cryptocurrency experience in two lines, and there is no how I can say "Thank you, I really appreciate " in 400 words.

Yeah. No one is stopping anyone from sending Merits to any post they fancy.

Everyone's benchmarks may be different. They have presumptive reasons regarding the writings of other members. Sometimes it's good for me but not good for you. But we also have the same standard regarding writing, which is not plagiarism. Since applying merit, sometimes I do see some people giving merit to writing that I think is normal. That's natural, so the benchmark of merit as a good post I don't think can be a reference. Each member has their own criteria based on the rules that have been applied in this forum. ~snip~
I'd also say that a quality post is if it sparks a good debate and a solid conversation in the threat. The post itself does not have to be long or full of quality information, but if it's thought-provoking and it triggers numerous comments where ideas are exchanged and experiences are being passed on, that I'd say that is doing a service to this forum.
As long as the post gives meaning and sense then that's a quality post. Not everyone here is fond of giving a good quality post since most of them are just having a question. But if someone could help someone who's needing some help by answering their questions especially if it's about crypto that involves a complicated task to do then I consider that as a good quality post once they answered the question. Each of us here has their own opinion about the matter of picking a good quality post that deserve some merit. Some may want to help some newbies to while the other's are on a different level of expectations.

The quality of a post is often a subjective thing, because not all people have the same criteria, and I think that is completely normal.
This is called a forum, and one of the main aims of any forum is a platform for the exchange of ideas, and perspectives. Any post that engages these aim of a forum is a quality post.
A question that I would like to ask is "Are all quality posts meritable?".
I agree as long as the long posts are read and the necessary information is taken within. However, short posts have more tendency to get read than a long post / long article besides they being more informative than the shorter ones.
Not all quality posts get merits. Does that mean that they are not read? All tend to read the last reply of a thread and move on? At times, you may feel a post as a quality one but you might have not had the opportunity to read that. But those who read, might have not seen it as a quality one. So here the quality post is missed by the right person and the post misses a merit?
I'd also say that a quality post is if it sparks a good debate and a solid conversation in the threat. The post itself does not have to be long or full of quality information, but if it's thought-provoking and it triggers numerous comments where ideas are exchanged and experiences are being passed on, that I'd say that is doing a service to this forum.
Seriously have been noticing that same thing there are some post that are not long and are full of informations, and some post are very long and it will endup becoming useless no meaning thing in the post. I don't say all long posts are rubbish and I don't say all short post are meaningful. I believe is even better if you see a long post that's not that meaningful you can award the person merit for the effort put in writing the post and for encouragement you can just make your own comment, you can correct the person and still encourage the person.
The definition of is quality post is quite complicated. Because it varies on our opinions. Since our thoughts wouldn't be the same here with each other the definition of quality posts would be different as well. For me, at least the post should be meaningful somehow. Doesn't matter it's one line or two, but the sentence should carry out some meaningful thoughts that would be helpful somehow for others. High quality and just quality aren't the same. As a merit source, I just look if the post is considered a good post at least. So, if the post isn't spam means good, if the post above good means quality.
There is no question if you will contribute even two stanzas of your post if you think this is given high-quality post that can give satisfaction to the OP post.

It doesn't have to be a whole biography of contribution. Just try to contribute at the best as you can, and no need to skip sleep over a single contribution if it is a reply.~
This is a forum, and we all should be relaxed just having conversation/s within a thread.
A quality post is a post that is answerable to a question, and also a post that brings a solution to a question even though it's a two lines stanza of an article.
So far so good, I've also been in such shoe of a low quality poster. But base on my own understanding of what a quality post ethics of this forum is, I've come up with three cognate points to note:
1. In making a quality post, it's either you start a topic or comment on an existing topic, but either of the two your opinion and personal view is more important regarding any post made, therefore your post must have taughts.
2. Some do copy and paste and include the link with a quote in the name of a quality post, such is termed "low quality post" as it is required of you to read, digest and assimilate an article and share your own taught from a different perspective regarding the post, thou copy and paste with link and quote isn't against the forum rules but we need to be constructive and taughtful in our post as such is the recommended standard required by the forum.
3. Either a post is short or long does not matter but what matters is the main idea behind the post to be understandable and reasonable, then it can be able to generate merit, a quality post is worth desiring to be merited, when it's full of taughts and generate ideas and has a good composition regardless of how short or long it might be.
When I think about what a quality post is, I come to the conclusion that it must be a post that brings something new, new information, an idea, content, something original, a post that helps others, contributes to the forum etc.
Of course older members with more experience and knowledge can write much better quality posts than newbie members and this is normal.
You are right, a quality post, is a post that inspired a read, educative,and brings innovation to another, i know vividly that what you called or seems as quality might be stupid or nonsense to another person, that's the reason people don't give grades to a particular post, because it's not lengthy, before many people taught when we say a quality, they taught maybe we are referring to many paragraphs, we are looking for the educational quality, its meaning and it's benefit to the community. Of course older members with more experience and knowledge can write much better quality posts than newbie members and this is normal.

But sometimes this answer will be hanging up the idea or somewhat lack information and fully detailed information will surely consume a lot of space which gives a high-quality post and no lengthy post. However, we are here in the forum and everyone can give their prospective idea or we have a free speech to interact discussion but of course not on the off-topic.

I know that some newbie members complain about this because it is difficult for them to progress on the forum, but everyone can make an effort, do some research and share their knowledge with others.
Other members will then reward them with a merits for their work and effort and they will eventually know more and write better and higher quality posts later.

Different views and perception from different people, it feels like one's already here for a year or two lol.
Reading down your replies is educative to an extent about the forum.
I feel a vital information or query will transferred as well solved, when a quality post is written.
Some are good writer's of short lines,brief and as well some can still write lengthy.
Hopefully everyone learns for the growth of the community and forum.

A quality post is a post that is answerable to a question, and also a post that brings a solution to a question even though it's a two lines stanza of an article that's well arranged, coordinated, constructed, understandable and also meaningful, but from my perspective some user's misunderstood what we meant by a quality post or a quality article, i have come across of some varieties of post's in the community and it trigger's me to put it in writing, i seen some user's making an ambiguous articles And taught that a large numbers of articles is granted or guarantee making of a tangible or nice post, [No]
I also catch up that some people don't like to award Merit to a post that is shorter with cogent reasons and meaningful rather prefer a post that is large and contains a large numbers of articles, while those posts that is very ambiguous can as well contain More less vital informations that is valueless than the shorter Post, i have seen that newbies is adopting the system of long article with valueless point, so it's encouraging and admirable to make post that is lesser and have meaning, it's not that I'm condemning a long article writers post but we should understand the concept that your content of post at first also understand the summary of your point.
Thank you so much for the guide, seriously I personally think that my post have to contain lengthy words before it will be considered, and as a result of this, I particularly, I am scared to bring new topics to the group thinking it will not be valued. But with this information, I get more confidence and I hope I compose a quality post soon. Thanks for the information.

Quality post is not about size, length it could be long or short. Quality post is about useful information that is passed to users that come across it. How it can add value
In addition to that, a quality post can be anything which makes you laugh or happy. A post may be a quality one for one person who enjoyed it and gave it merit and it may be just a normal post for another person.
The definition of quality posts varies from person to person. Also if anyone gave a merit on a post, the other person should not challenge as why the merit was given to a post which seems average one.
The quality of a post is not determined by the shortness or length of an explanation, post or thread. Many people don't like the long style of writing to explain a small problem because it can make the reader feel bored and prefer to skip it. It is better if it is short but contains accurate information and answers so that it is quite helpful, but not all of them will also be considered quality because each user will have their own way of making judgments.
I have a habit of posting with two paragraphs or more. This gives me space to go into a bit more detail about the problem asked in the second paragraph by including some assumption. Obviously this is just a habit of mine, but I don't like walls of text. A lot of the merit that I get are also not because I write short or long, it's because they find something meaningful in my post. In essence, the quality of posts depend on how people rate our post.

Yes they are, If a post deserve to be merited and you have smerits then merit them. If you also come across a post that you believe deserve the be merited and you're out of merits, I'm pretty sure a heads up to a Merit source won't be a bad idea provided it's done genuinely and not some attempt to abuse the system with Alts.
