I believe what matters most in this discussion is the quality of the post we write, it doesn't really matter if they're long or short but they should have some atom of quality in them so the reader doesn't waste time reading something that won't add value to his life. We can't necessary tell people how to write because we have those that love to write on the forum and at every opportunity they get they'll want to experiment their feelings in writing while we have those that always love going straight to the point without any delay and both writing pattern should be welcomed on the forum. If the forum only gets straight to the point discussion then we won't have a continuous discussion on the thread and those are necessary to keep the thread alive (but obvious they have to be on topic discussion and not offtopic).


We have some members that are re known for this posting pattern and they're doing great as their contributions gets merited and we also have those that spent time giving us full details explantation and their posts are also doing well so again I say, the context of the replies matters alot. If there's a topic that I'm very familiar with I'll love to experience myself on those topics and when it comes to those that I have moderate knowledge on, I also try to stay moderate so I don't make a fool of myself. It's also a misconception that the more your post looks long the higher it is for you to get merited and we have to let go of that myth and focus on quality instead of quantity always.
