Oh, I read it properly in full. That doesn't change the irony of it all.
Are you sure you did?
At no point is he trying to teach anyone anything. He's just lumping a chunk of people who want to learn HR into a single lobby and playing maps with the HR mod.
He even says so in the opening post:
since I'm working on Hardrock for a long time now too, and i know how depressing it is,
to play something over and over again with some low accuracys like 80-95% that you could actually SS without HR.
This is enough for any reader to understand that Wales himself doesn't really have any outstanding HR knowledge or is a good HR player, he's just trying to learn like everyone else that apparently signs up to this class.
There's nothing ironic in it because he's not going to teach anyone anything if you read the post.
What
could be defined as ironic is that this is called a "class" when there's no teacher, or anyone teaching, but what you said could not. But even then self-study classes are a thing, even in real, and as such there's nothing wrong with this or his post whatsoever and nothing contradicting or ironic really.
As for feedback about the actual "class", I think that you should just allow freemods. Everyone joining should pick HR anyway, and HDHR is also learning Hard Rock. Plus, some people prefer HDHR over simply HR. Sounds like you're just lumping HD away because you're uncomfortable with it; as long as HR as a mod is being played I don't see the reason to divide classes, more so when neither of them are going to get that much "attendance" regardless. Joining these two should lead for larger lobbies and a nicer environment, at least as I see it.
