Quote:As admin, you still visit your forum though am I not correct? Therefore that technically still makes you a visitor. Administrator or not, google still counts you as traffic toward the site.
Now you're getting technical and we both know what I meant.
Quote:True, but my point here was that, i'm sure there's at least one or more people that will think within the same range as you for what HQ is and what it isn't.
True, but it goes both ways. Five people might agree with your opinion on whether a post is high quality or not, but five people might agree with me.
Quote:That was only my example to the lengthliness of the post, and the usefulness. If someone posted that on a thread (with similar length and quality) for something like a tutorial, and they had said "great tut..." could you not say that it would be an average measurement for most people as a low quality post?
I wouldn't classify that as low quality either, they're simply telling the OP that they posted a great tutorial, I don't see any reason they should have to elaborate... Ideally they should post why they liked it, how it helped them and possibly what they could do to improve the tutorial but who cares? They either thanked the OP, that makes me happy, that a member was appreciative of another for their contribution. And if you think that's low quality, that's why you have the post count limits, set it to something large and wallah, people have to post more... Now they post something like, "great tut!@#!@$!@$!@$!@# randomletterspost2short" as they do on HF then yes, that's low quality in my mind. Again, different perspectives.
Quote:Now you're just making assumptions based on what you interpret for what I meant. I was talking about the quality of the post, not the person behind the post in any way for personality or character.
I'll make a new example since you don't seem to understand what i'm getting at.
Here's an example straight from SF: http://www.supportforums.net/showthread....#pid223776
I don't think this needs much explanation, "show" instead of "slow" and it's less than a proper sentence length too. Now i'm assuming your going to try and tell me, "at least he kind of explained what ISP he was using" so here's another for you: http://www.supportforums.net/showthread....#pid218827
*Look at the OP and his post and tell me how that's helpful or a quality post on his part
You posted what you thought was a low quality post and what was a high quality post...
I'm not quite sure where you got the idea that I was talking about the person "behind the post" or whatever.
Quote:People are people, and it doesn't mean everyone's perspectives will be different, which you are trying to assume here. Either way I was just trying to make sure that you were aware about Quality vs. Quantity, I never pointed out your forum for low quality posts. People at your site don't seem to have a reason to post low quality, you just assumed that I was directing that comment to the post quality on your forum. I mentioned it because you seemed too worried about reaching that 2000 post goal here.
Everyone has a different perspective, even if you don't notice it.

Edit: Anyways, I'd rather not waste my time arguing. Bottom line, people have different perspectives, obviously, or this argument / debate / calm discussion would have never even started. ;)
If you'd like to say you have "won", feel free.
