Welcome!
Hi, R0twang! Welcome, and thanks for joining NetHackWiki!
- The How to help and Style guide pages are excellent starting points.
- Special:Recentchanges is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.
- Questions? Need help? You can ask at the Community Portal, the forum, or on the discussion page associated with each article! Just remember to sign those posts with four tildes: ~~~~. That will expand to create a signature.
You can put {{NAOplayer|NAO player account}} on your user page to link to your NAO player account. Capitalization matters.
We are really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!

Your user page
Um, hi. I just noticed your user page and wanted to know whether you're serious or just trolling. This is a wiki about NetHack and as such, people reading your "guide" will most likely actually want to play NetHack — leaving aside the question whether you might be right or not.
You also seem to be overstating the flaws of NetHack. (While I do think some of the things you listed may indeed be flaws, some people like NetHack for exactly some of the reasons you listed.) So far, that might be fine for a user page, though.
NetHack is still in development; while perhaps not by the original DevTeam, there are multiple actively developed variants. This isn't a myth, and calling it "propaganda" is misinformed at best, a lie and itself propaganda at worst. (Perhaps good faith should be assumed here.)
I am also unsure whether you realize that most people who could be targetted by your "guide" will not read it – it's on your user page, people are unlikely to read that unless they follow the recent changes. Of course, putting it anywhere else wouldn't work anyway as it doesn't go well with a wiki that is about NetHack in a mostly objective way, which NetHackWiki is. Thus, I don't see the point in you putting it here (unless, as I wondered at the top, you're just trolling and created an account just to have a user page to put it on, safely out of the main namespace). I'd like some clarification on that.
(FWIW, part of your "guide" also reads a bit like an advertisement for Dwarf Fortress to me. That might just be because you needed something to compare NetHack to, perhaps.)
A serious question (in case you're not trolling, and actually read this): just why did you register here only to tell people you dislike NetHack and its promoters and they also should?
Another question: are you r0twang on NAO (stats, games, deaths, dumplogs, ttyrecs)? If so, I wonder why you still played today, given your apparent hate of NetHack?
