Recently I've seen alot of threads where people just jump into writing an incredible episode without putting their readers into consideration.
I'm not a fan of reading very long articles and most times I think some posts ought to be simplified and summarized to get ease of attention and from my observation, it seems most users confuse quantity with quality and think, writing very long post simply means the post has quality which is wrong.
I've seen very short and straight to the point post doing extremely very well on the forum and people ought to them learn from them.
The matter of quality post is always confusing in the forum, especially for newcomers and most times I do not blame them because no matter however you look at the matter, quality post in this forum is largely measured by the length of the post. This is the reason that some managers will tell you that any post that is less than 150 words would not be counted. So this does not mean that whatever anyone is writting, they should make it unnecessarily long. They should not also be rules for you to make a post. There are some kind of discussion that two lines will be able to convey while there are some discussions that we need upto 20 lines in order to have the full understanding of the post.
Quality and quantity are both important, because "quantity makes quality". I also agree with you, sometimes when making a post so that it is easy to understand and understand as a whole we have to make the post longer. There are also those who only need to make a two-line post but the important points they want to convey can already be understood by readers.
Actually, this depends on the context of the discussion being discussed, because there are also discussions that require lengthy explanations so that what is conveyed is easy to understand. So for me there is no problem making long posts or short posts, the important thing is that the purpose we want to convey can be understood by readers. BTW, I like reading long posts from JayJuanGee.
