You've been a member of this forum for over four years now, though you have been inactive for sometime, but you have only earned 1 merit. Thus i think you should leave tips and guides like this for users who have earned a lot of merits and are somewhat reputable. Personally i don't think it makes sense for newbies to be giving tips/guides to other newbies.
Is somehow funny getting a tip as advice from someone who has joined the forum for years but with just few merit.
Although some of the tips are something to work with but OP should try and work with those tips as well as to improve on his account.
