We all know that quality of post in this forum is largely measured by the length of post.

Speak for yourself.

Campaign rules of 3 different managers in the forum;

Quote

♦️ 150 characters minimum. No links & overusing punctuation will count

Quote

▶️ Post must be minimum 150 characters long and constructive.

Quote

➥ Posts that do not carry a semantic load or posts whose content is less than 200 characters will not be paid.

That has to do with paying for a post, not with the quality. This short post earned 15 Merit from 4 people.
I like how hilariousandco puts it:

Quote from: Signature Campaign Guidelines

A quality/constructive poster will generally have no pattern to their posting history and will have posts ranging from one word to one sentence to several paragraphs and everything in between and this is what you should be aiming for.

If you look at someone's post history, and all you see is endless pages of posts with 2 paragraphs, all with the exact same length, it's obvious they're only posting to reach the spam target. Any natural conversation (real life or on a forum) varies from very short to very long.

Ask yourself why CM campaign participants in general were considered to be good posters, and Stake campaign participants are considered to be spammers. It's a direct result of choices made by the campaign manager.

I would say I agree with you 100%, but I think the earning potential of the various campaigns plays a huge part in the pool of potential participants the campaign manager can choose from. CM was the highest-paying campaign around if I remember correctly, so it got really competitive and wound up with some of the best posters on the forum.

That's true. And I noticed in my short time as a campaign manager that my best users quickly got swooped away by better paying campaigns. But it's a choice made by the company. Stake could have paid higher rates for less posts, but instead they do this:

The payment limit is $ 100/week (+$25 if win the bonus) per member of this campaign
Up to 25 posts: $1.75 per post
From 26 posts on: $0.50 per post + 20% extra for posts at Gambling Section

They choose to pay for up to 163 posts per week. That gives a great incentive to spam, and since they don't care about quality, the result is that this campaign fills 80% of the Top 25 users with most posts. And I bet (pun intended) they'd all stop posting the moment they don't get paid for it.
