How to write quality content for Connect...

[#1]

...(and get some exposure for that?)

When I wrote this Idea: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/All-Ideas/quot-Recent-quot-filter-only-shows-threads-in-first-...

I had this situation in mind:

What a mess

Connect 2.0 is not for quality content creators.

This is the situation of photography area in main page of Local Guides Connect, just 5 minutes after I've finished publishing this thread: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/Italian-Aeronautic-Museum-Vigna-di-Valle/m-...

Took a lot of hours producing images, many time creating the thread, and now is already buried under spam, unrelevant topics, and so on.

That's why I'm asking to put a standard filter on main topics with LAST POST TIMESTAMP and not LAST THREAD TIMESTAMP; this could help quality content to be "featured" by crowd.

Sorry for being auto-referring to my content, this is only an example, many many great quality threads are buried in Connect 2.0, and many great Local Guides are really tired of this.

Thanks for your attention

Hi @LucioV,

It seems that you are not interested in Nail Salon ;-)!

I agree with you, we have to find a way to keep quality posts not lost under poor quality posts. 

This also why I have mentionned the idea to follow up LG friends here. If we follow someone, it is because we know that he produces quality posts!

Have a nice day and see you around.

I am in total agreement with you on this @LucioV  It is a real shame to see quality posts so quickly buried beneath so many nonsensical and poor quality submissions. Regards, Koby

I share your point of view Lucio, I think that the filter has to be improved post with a lot of development time and effort are still covered by irrelevant post in Connect 2.0, I guess it's a matter of time that that changes @LucioV
