One is entitled to post on whatever topic one wishes to. Nevertheless, the information provided in the OP has been around for quite some time, on multiple posts, some of them being as official a one can get due to who their authors are.
What’s not really smashing for creating a tutorial or guide though is not doing the homework properly, and providing incorrect information that can mislead the intended audience:
- Jr. Members require 1 Merit, not 0 as stated in the OP.
- Full Member merit requirement and Legendary activity have now been corrected, but were incorrect a few hours ago.
Also asking explicitly for merit (now corrected in the OP) is not the best way to go. It is normally clear that many posts are written with that intent, and that’s fine by me (I’d rather see some sort of effort with an objective than no effort at all), but there is no need to belittle oneself by making it so explicit (which on occasions has lead to be people being tagged as a merit beggar).
