I said low effort, not low quality, which I think is fair considering it was two sentences long. Just saying how I saw it in comparison to other posts that's all.
Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
I'll make an adjustment to the short form guidelines so that it's a bit clearer what the level of effort usually is in the contest. I think there is quality to be had from shorter posts, but it's evident when not much effort has been put into a post (I've made a couple myself and used the tag #loweffort // [1] [2]).
Also, in terms of quality, that is what I've tried to bring up and address with the Merit system.
Okay, replace the word quality with effort, I was assuming effort was mutually non-exclusive to quality in regards to a blog.
What are the subjective virtues of effort that were lacking in my post?
Good question though,it will help others to learn and understand the true meaning of "low effort"post....@phusionphil
That's why I said it was low effort yet intriguing (since it was interesting to ponder over).
Two typed-out sentences doesn't take much effort from my point of view, but maybe that took more effort than I'm assuming, I'll have to take this perspective into consideration for the merit system.
Yeah I was planning on using strictly short form so it would be useful information to have in detail if that's going to be a factor. Short-form is basically less than a paragraph
I'm wondering if the link between a short form post and the involved conversation/discussion generated below in the comments, can be graded using the system in a way that would be balanced and fair. It's definitely a head-scratcher.
I will accept critique on my interaction rates, low effort on replying this week as I have been busy this week in general.
Glad we found a middle ground then, lol. It's good food for thought anyway, I knew making this all fair and balanced wasn't going to be a walk in the park, so any disputes and healthy back and forth are welcomed in my book.
I do like to argue but I personally wouldn't fret over a contest I didn't invest in or make myself.
I am happy you have a open dialogue format going on, this contest will probably workout as a good long term mechanism for POB.
I was going to start making POB Crossword of the day, do you think that's acceptable?
I technically would just put words and questions into a crossword generator then paste the image in the post for others to fill out, then comment when they had completed it for a upvote.
I don't know about all this fan boy stuff, I'm trying to be social and I like the profitability of POB.
I would love to see your contents in the contest ..
