I keep a unique number (achievements) that I get now.



It seems I also have to collect some stupid April moments to be remembered, every year precisely in April that moment will occur and be commemorated on the Bitcointalk forum.

   

In my opinion this is a collection and also a feat and maybe just a momentary achievement that is unique every year.

First off, I'm going to apologize. I really don't want to be a total killjoy as I know a lot of people here just wanted to have fun, but just fyi, this can easily be cheated through "inspect element", a feature available on most browsers.

Great to have this collection going on with a few adjustments. Maybe you can consider the following suggestions:

All Merit records should be archived. This post has shown Merit records can be easily faked. That's mad.  
Archiving them would prevent Merit record cheating / Merit record abuse

Using both, width and height is problematic for the image ("scaling issue")



Better use one of the two variants and try to get the original forum size (posts can be editet after posting, if it's too small / too big).
Using one of the two will result in original scaling => scaling issue solved

Your new record:

Nice profile picture.  

Interesting, didn't know about such a feature and I did it always manually. 
But my paint looks a bit different...

OP should include guides to make snapshot of merit profile:
- Width and height with Paint as pointed out by Ratheyon here
- Which image contents will be snapshotted? Only username and merit numbers or username with merit numbers and user avatar. Different set of contents will result in different image display with same width and height.

I will try to hit 100 merit and leave my image here. 

Thanks for your suggestions, I already added the archive-rule to OP.

To solve the scaling issue, let's go with height=200 then.

Thanks for your suggestions, but I don't think an additional Microsoft Paint guide is necessary, since it's pretty self-explanatory. In addition to that Raytheon already posted how to do it. Anyway, if you want to create another thread in the Beginners & Help section, how to use Microsoft Paint with screenshots, I will obviously link it here.

I am fine with different kind of screenshots, as long as they are height=200. I already updated OP.

I guess you did not catch my idea. My idea is if you only advise people to use a fixed height for their merit images, at 200, their merit images will be different. Some will snapshot their images at profile pages, without avatars. In contrast, some will snapshot their images in posts, with or without avatars. There will be at least three types of images and the diversity will make your OP be inconsistently displayed. If you include a rule with fixed height and only one image type, OP will look better. That post looks good with consistently displayed images. Compare it with that one and with OP.

It's your decision and I only explain my idea in more details.

My personal record and I'm proud of it!

You must follow the rules before you post it, that clear stated "Don't post full-size screenshots, use height=200"
