I like the idea of a guide that teaches people how to deal with newcomers, but realize that some newcomers are stubborn and don't want to change their ways at all(there's quite a few names I could list but I'll save that for private.)

This guide would be fine and dandy if you avoided the trolly, OOC aspect of it. "How to deal with trolls," is what I'm seeing here. Everyone knows what's best and that's to ignore them, and some people who are aware of what they're doing encourage them. It's just a part of life we have to deal with. There's no point in making a guide that goes over how to deal with someone because it'll be a novel of how to ignore someone, and that isn't very good for a guide in my opinion.

But you could get away with the role-play aspect and how to deal with lorebreakers and stuff along the likes of that. That seems legitimate for a guide as it deals with role-playing and how to give players who struggle with the rules and such advice and guide them towards a better path. But this definitely still needs tweaking to avoid the trolling aspect of role-play if you wanted to go all the way with this. Dont get me wrong, I admire the sentiment, but Aztarwyn is right. Absolutely.

There's one very effective way of dealing with bad roleplayers: don't interact with them. Just ignore them. More along. If you're dealing with someone that's honestly just shit at roleplay, then they'll eventually get better.
