Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Just got to reading through most of it. Great job.
"How To Avoid Getting Caught" gave me some good laughs. What I've done similar to Tip #3 is use two different browsers. One has Smogon and other sites bookmarked while the main browser just has Facebook and stuff.
My style changes every so often, so I jump around with the different team types. I've recently been trying heavy stall and not doing so well, though, so I think I may stick with a more balanced team in the future.
