how about "Get evidence BEFORE reporting something."

halp they stole mi force plzz help idk their username

doesn't really cut it.

Instead, try:

Hello, I've been scammed by _______________.
Here is valid information.
I have waited 24 hours and they are ignoring PMs.

Free TC!

You might also want to change Tip 3.
The rule should be "Don't overuse smileys", not "Do NOT EVER use smileys" because that's a bit too strict, and a smiley can be necessary in a good occasion.
BAD LUCK
Coming from someone who isn't known and really shows he sees himself as superior to "noobs" doesn't give me anything to trust in this "tutorial".

Yeah. This should be written by some kind of admin.
Your intentions may be good, but sadly this thread has many flaws.

Mainly, you shouldn't have the need gain respect if you use common sense. All of this tutorial is based on common sense. If a user does not already have common sense, they wont search for such threads in the tutorials board. If they do already have common sense, they wont need such threads.

Even if we had a board full of these tutorials, it wouldn't change how people behave.
