Therefore, your own outlook on forum content is probably going to be similar to what your visitors see in your website, and it can be measured.
I think it's safe to say that there's measurement that can be done between posts like:
Quote:hi how r uand
Quote:Hi, how are you? I hope you'll enjoy this forum, please take the time to read the rules.
Then you can look at the ratio between those 2 types of posts.
I'm not a visitor, I'm the administrator, I'm already a member of the community. What I think is high quality can be completely different than what someone else thinks is high quality. I'd be perfectly fine with someone replying, "hi how r u" to say an introduction thread. Okay, they don't have the best grammar but they're posting and they're interacting with other users in a kind manner. Obviously you think that's low quality. See how people have different outlooks on things?
You can't measure something like the quality of a thread because everyone has different perspectives.
