Posting quality issue
Thread Content
I’ve been at Haichuan for not long, and I’ve seen many senior students complain about the low quality of the posts submitted – many of them are of poor quality. As a newcomer, I have to admit that there is indeed truth in their complaints. However, the key issue is that most new members have only recently entered the chemical industry; some have just graduated, or are newcomers to this field and can be considered “amateurs.” They need guidance from their seniors in order to make progress, so that Haichuan can become a place that truly embraces everyone. If only the senior students discuss things, then Haichuan’s scope will only continue to shrink! Why not create a senior community where only senior students can post messages, while junior students can only read them – but not comment or post anything! I hope senior students will help the new students more!
Starting from now, I will post more original topics.
Anything related to problems you encounter in your actual work or summaries of your own work experience will be of interest.
Mainly, many people reply too casually, without any thought. Many clearly incorrect arguments are confidently presented as the correct answers, misleading people. In fact, as long as one takes a moment to think about it and does some research, one can find out what the correct answer is; only in this way can one both help others and improve oneself.

Personally, I feel that even if one says a lot and in great depth, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will score high points or trigger much discussion. As the saying goes, too much talk can lead to mistakes. When I look at the posts on forums, those that are 3-5 lines long and provide accurate answers are considered good posts. As for those who criticize the quality of posts, their responses are often just one sentence, or even just a few words – which is irresponsible.
Members in higher grades may not necessarily have high technical skills, and those in lower grades may not necessarily have low skills either. There is no inherent connection between the quality of posts and the member level. Respond to posts with care; this is a forum focused on technical exchanges. Responses may not always be correct, but effort should be put into them. Everyone is here to learn*, not to act as teachers, so right or wrong is not important – what matters is making progress through mutual discussion and exchange.
