The guidelines are not relevant; what you're doing is rude. That is a subjective assessment.
I hope that you stop being rude to new users because of your own personal opinions about the allocation of minuscule amounts of money. It's ridiculous and unwelcoming.
I very respectfully disagree with everything quoted.
I will continue not being intentionally rude to anyone, but new users on a platform that still hasn't left beta testing yet will need thicker skin than users on other platforms.
I'm not breaking any rules that I've signed up to adhere to on this platform and economically speaking I've so far also not lowered the reputation of a user or in any essential way even the rewards for a specific post.
To add to this, I only found this post by scrolling down the trending page. It was doing very well already and still is.
