I post only one discussion a day and try my best to keep it as simple and as impressive as a non native speaker of English like me can.My offline and online friends keep insisting me to post 'quality' discussions. What exactly 'quality' is?How would you like to define it?

I don't think it matters TOO much what you write so long as it's clear and not offensive. Most of your 'action' will come from commenting and responding to other people. At least you made a point with your post. I'm getting sick of the non-discussions that many post which just demand to have answers to questions that the person posting hasn't even bothered to answer themselves.

@boiboing Yesterday I visited some posts with no responses.You are right.Most of them have something or the other in their posts that prevented them from being impressive and attract likes and comments.Thanks for the suggestion.I need to understand from the experiences of others.Tons of thanks,my dear friend.

@else34 You are very welcome. I would also suggest to have a look at the posts that get no responses. If you see those you can learn what DOESN'T work and what to avoid doing yourself. Good luck and keep writing.

What comes to my mind first is: A quality discussion is longer and more elaborate than a three-line-paragraph.

They are short,as short as I could make them.Okay,now on I will try to initiate longer and elaborate discussions.

The discussion which either inspires you, urge you to take action or make you laugh. I hope that sums up. :)

This site is a little different from a typical 'writing site'...so here quality might mean you put your best foot forward.

@AbbyGreenhill,That's what I have been doing so far.I try my level best to express my thoughts as impressively as I can.Don't know why they keep shouting,'quality','quality','quality'.Confused I initiated this discussion.I think,you are right.

@AbbyGreenhill As I told you they keep insisting me to maintain quality of my discussions.And I am confused what else can I do other than trying my best to make my discussions interesting and meaningful.

@else34 Are 'they' shouting it at you or in general?

quality is limited errors (we all make some, too many and it can be too hard to read.) and with some kind of hook to get people talking, that's really all I look for.

@Jessicalynnt,Thanks.That's what @aju007 says.If my discussions make others respond to them,I should be satisfied.As far as errors are concerned,I am trying to improve my knowledge of English.It may take time though.

@else34 I don't see a ton of errors, oh I see a few, but I am not error free myself.

@Shiva49,I,too,define it in the same way,Sir.If my discussions attract likes,responses and comments,it means they are quality ones and I should be satisfied with them.

You can forget about "quality" since most of us are focus on mundane topics. You can just start a discussion on whatever topics you want to discuss.

@scheng1,You are right.Most discussions are on mundane topics.I,for one,tend to initiate discussions on some meaningful topics without knowing what my readers think about it.And I try to make my post as interesting,as impressive as I can.

I too dont know what quality of a post exactly mean. As far as your discussion give a thrust to the reader to respond to it, nothing other really matters. And I should say you are doing it well.

@aju007,You are absolutely right.You have a point I had not thought about.My discussions make others respond to them.Perhaps that's what they call 'quality.'Thanks a lot for helping me define 'quality' so clearly.

I think it is rude if people are saying your posts are not to their standards. I think all posts are welcome, short, simple or long winded.

@gudheart,Yes,it's rude.That's why I initiated this discussion.I would never tell anybody that their posts don't have quality or they commit errors.

Who is telling you to go for quality? I would stop listening to them. Write as well as you are able - and it seems you write very well. That will be quality enough.

@else34 There are very few grammatical errors even here! I don't know what your so-called friends are on about. Forget about them and just write.
