Sometimes posts made by some of our people is confusing when reading the post, just want to emphasize on this because I know that long posts doesn't guarantee a quality post, but make your post to be understanding to the user, I know that necessity of people making a long post is because they needed a merit but that doesn't show a quality post,
I don't discourage long post but when you can make a short response and also pass on the information that you want to pass across, I encourage that. I feel there are some responses that needs you to elaborate on what you're writing and in this circumstances you can't help it but make your post lengthy although there are some replies that don't necessary need to be long but spammers use that posting pattern to appear like they have something meaningful to say but if you calm down to read their replies they're garbage and a waste of time.
a quality post is a post that carries formative post not to be long without a good information or educate people of what they suppose know...people deviates from their area of concentration when they make a long post and sometimes their point will be pointless because of much mistakes ....its better for you to make a few lines of post that's meaningful than making 20 paragraphs with pointless narrative.
You should also know that shorter replies doesn't equal to quality, the quantity of the words in your replies doesn't equal to quality. It's the content of what you wrote and how on topic those words are that determine if your post is a quality one or not. This is a forum and it needs discussion and not just posting patterns that looks like that of an AI.
