Is there are word limit for posting a new thread? If so how many?
Many new threads have very long articles that take a long time to read. Sometimes I wonder if the poster him/herself has read the article.
If posts were a little shorter or limted to about 1000 words more people would read them and give comments.
Concise and clear articles will have a bigger audience.
I agree as well...I don't think that the rule should change though. I just think that people should be more conciencious of what they are posting and how relevant it is.
Sometimes when I see a really long post I just cant be bothered reading it especially when there are no paragraphs

Exactly, a very good point to be considered sister
I'm not saying that the intellectual posts should be stopped but it's more about the length of some of them. I have read some really long posts and thought that it was informative and everything. But somethimes some of the content is irrelevant and I just think that people should edit out some of that stuff.
Well somehow i dnt see how the mods are gonna put a limit on the length of a post n delete posts that dnt have paragraphs just for the sake of a couple ppl.
There are time a very long post is justified. However, what seems justified to one person, another may see it as TMI(Too Much Information).
Myself I think if I view a post as being too long, it is merely it being a subject I have no interest in. We are individuals what one of us likes, somebody else will dislike.
What pleases one person will anger another. Might as well leave the post length alone. No matter if it is changed to a limitation, there will still be those who do not like it.

I'm not saying that they should delete....You are just jumping to conclusions...
My point that I'm trying to make is that the use of paragraphs makes things easier and less painful to read. It also organises articles, hence making them more easier to understand.
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
Also instead of simply copying and pasting, put a tiny bit of effort into it. Bold and italicilize and color (but do not use bright pink please) particular parts, because nobody is going to read things word for word. There are very few poeple who do that.
Create some eye appeal in what you post...
"...You are my Walî in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die as a Muslim, and join me with the righteous." [Surah Yusuf 101]
I so agree with your posts. It only takes a little effort to make a post more readable.
it should be in everybody's interest. After all, if you go through the trouble of writing a post, surely you would like others to read it ... wouldn't you?
Peace.
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.
Come, let us worship and bow down •
and kneel before the Lord our Maker
