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.
Long posts may contain new knowledge that must be conveyed coherently and regularly. maybe it's okay to make a long post like that.
However, if the post is like a copy-paste of the article, it will clearly be very annoying. why not summarize the main points of the information shared so that it is shorter and the purpose of the information can be conveyed briefly and simply.
We must still emphasize the forum's purpose for discussion, the information shared may be long or short. and each member's writing style is also different. but hopefully whatever is created will still have content.
