I’ve recently made 10+ posts here as a new user, and I realised the forum works differently than typical social media. No likes. No shares. Just merit — and it’s earned, not given.
Here are 3 things I wish I knew earlier:
-Short replies don’t help — you need to write like you're helping someone.
-Posts in quiet threads may never be seen — post where readers hang out.
-Original thinking matters — don’t copy anything, not even from your own posts.
Hope this was helpful to someone

Seeing that I am a newer person here and willing to abide by the ethics of this forum, I think what you said about making longer replies and comments will help in this regard that would help one attain recognition here, but I also think that anyone who is willing to learn from what others have said without much contribution to get noticed, would have also gotten what they wanted in terms of being anonymous to some extent on this forum.
Posting in more threads with more users on board will definitely be a priority here if one is also going to want to have response from the crowd with the major, more respected, more knowledgeable members on this forum.
I also would like to know how much word count would make a post more acceptable on this forum to make one look serious and more apt to gain the best from here.
