With all due respect, I believe that rankings do not always reflect the depth of our knowledge and ideas. That's why I felt compelled to share my insights, even after being away for years. However, I respect that everyone has their own thoughts and perspectives.
You did a great job on this guide. It has helpful points that could benefit many newcomers and since you created it too, I guess you learnt from It. Don't be intimidated by others they're just trying to help you learn. We were all once newbies just like you, and what helped us progress was learning more about the forum. It's not that you can't create a guide as a newcomer, but it's good to learn first to set an example. I'm curious why you've been inactive for so long, but don't let that discourage you. Focus on reading more and posting less. You seem to understand the forum well since you've written this guide, so put it into action and keep improving. Later on, if you gain more ranks and create better guides, others will appreciate and possibly reward your efforts."
