What is Quality Content?

I'm glad this catagory was started because to be frank I get really tired of sifting through a zillion silly topics like What is your favorite color? (unless it is a test) just to find something worth reading and responding to as well. Not only do I prefer quality for posting but I read a lot here and I prefer reading quality answers. My intentions is if someone posts a non quality topic here I will give it a negative mark. Since we can't make any rules about it that is the only way I can think of to discourge anyone from just posting any old thing here.

I agree with a lot of the comments already made to this discussion. There is NO way that we can control who does and does not post in a particular category, and who is a member of it. Although this appears to be a safe haven for the moment, it is inevitable that the same thing will happen here, as in every other interest. I also think that the quality of ones discussions, posts and content in general is subjective. A base standard of acceptable is anything that complies with mylots guidelines imo, which lets face it, most peoples posts dont. I dont have a problem with people using mylot to self promote or increase their online earnings, and generate new contacts as oldbuddy does, some people do. I dont have a problem with any discussion that is simply that... a discussion, on the other hand I do no enjoy reading or responding to statements, that leave nothing open for interpretation nor discussion. Thats just the way I feel. I dont think there is any need to have a set structure of rules. I feel that the quality members post quality content, even though I dont think the star rating system is a good indication of ones ability nor history as it is too easily abused (yes I keep repeating myself as that is how i feel). Copya nd paste is not acceptable unless it is a small excerpt, accompanied by a source, used to reiterate a point one is making in a discussion. Okay thats my two cents, take it easy guys... ;)

I agree with what´s already been commented here. Some people might consider quality what others think of as totally irrelevent. Rules: how to go about it? It´s a bit dictatorial to determine what´s worth posting here and what isn´t?

You know that you are reading quality content when you find yourself immediately responding without thinking of how it will benefit you. I would say "quality post" or "quality content" means writing something that: - others will want to read - others will comment on because they WANT to comment (not because they just are trying to "up" their count or ranking)

I agree that mylot should consider having some kind of filter for quality content. Today, I felt I have wasted much time on the internet because I could hardly find many quality discussions to read. Maybe, some groupings of topics would help. Then members can actually post their discussions under those headings. Still, there must be a better and more effective way of weeding out nonsensical posts. Anyone has better ideas?

I would like to be able to see a list of potential cheaters so we could avoid their discussions
