Hey guys!
I have encountered many users making short posts, and lacking much quality. They sometimes say "i do not know what else to add!" or "there is nothing left I can add."
I want to explain to you all, not only how to make more quality discussions, but also improving on them too. This includes anyone from the rank rookie, to master, to even maybe moderator.
When making a discussion, sometimes it can be hard to find a good, juicy topic to talk about, let alone adding enough detail.
Remember, replies can tend to be shorter than discussions.
Too short.
Short discussions, are not only breaking a rule,but they are very confusing to understand.
If you do not know what a "too short" discussion is, here is an example:
"I am making a CPPS it will be so fun and cool with awesome rooms.
bye!"
See? That was too short. It was only a sentence. Though, there is no required limit that you have to have in a post. This is a much better example:
"Hey guys, I was thinking about making a CPPS! Many users may join, and there will be quite a few rooms! I think it will be awesome."
Though, this example, is not the best example, it is a better example. Try adding more detail, describing maybe what features might be added, or when it might be released. ( this is an example)
Adding detail.
When you make discussions, you really need to describe. You want to describe what might happen, and add in some detail. Add examples. Add anything that might be questioned, and that can be improved upon. For example:
"I might add in some party rooms. There will be customizing features with your background, and I think you will all love it."
See? This is a detail that could be left out, but it was better to include it. But you should always add even more juicer detail! Always think about what else you can keep adding.
Short Posts in Help and Support.
Sometimes, I do encounter one sentence posts in the "Help and support" category. It is not necessarily okay, but a lot of times, i see users saying "this post is too short" more than actually helping the user. So if you see this, leave it to a Moderator to tell them to add more detail. It really is not as big of a deal to make a shorter post, (in my opinion) in the Help and Support category. All the user needs is help.
Proof-reading
Proof reading is always great to do before you post. This will make sure that you do not have spelling errors, and your post flows nicely with good grammar.
Editing
Sometimes, I see users say that they forgot to add something, or an error, and they comment it. Instead, you are able to edit your post, and add it in. I suggest doing that.
Tips:
* Make sure to really think about what you can add into your posts to make it more understandable!
