(Forum Creation) Quantity first, quality later?

Debate Information

So lets say you're in the business of creating forums. Would you consider that in the early stages for your forum to grow and generate revenue relatively quickly would you say quantiy of user posts takes preecedence over quality? The way I currently say it is thus:

Firstly, a good marketing strategey is the expression of free speech. So, you could have lots of user posts expressing themselves freely but not so free that it ends up being abuse which puts other people off resulting in lost memebers and of course lost revenue and slow growing forum. Now, lets fast foreward a bit.

So, you've got a load of posts now and a load of members. But you're forum could do with higher quality content. Because it would put members off eventually if you just have a whole bunch of post that are low quality. This is where you can tighten things up, making things harder for trolls and thus even getting rid of some people. Hopefully, by now we've already got a lot of revenue from user posts as well as from other sources such as adds, etc and so we can afford starting the process of generating more higher quality content.


On the other hand if you wanted you're forum to be of utmost quality from the start then I think it would be harder to and take a lot longer for your forum to grow and thus generate more revenue. You might also struggle funding your site. This in turn would of course cause a slow growing forum.

What are thoughts? And is there perhaps another variable which I haven't considered?
