Raising Content Quality Without Slowing Down Activity

[Maria]

Forums rely on steady conversation, but low-effort posts can drag the whole place down. What helps most with improving quality? Clear topic guidelines, better prompts, or more active moderation? And how do you keep the balance so the forum doesn’t feel restrictive?

Forum owners should always lead by example in terms of posting quality content across the board. It is by doing so that other members can see that the standard set is pretty high and should be maintained. Also, there is nothing wrong with the forum owner sending a private message to a user who is fond of posting one-line content to get better at it.
