whats going on BTT? [April Fool]

[coinerer]

Most assuredly, your "2" looks like a different font 

Yes, it is manipulation of the editor 

Is this another April fool?
How the hec am I having 572 Smerits?
Am no merit source and am yet to apply for one but, that's what am seeing up there 572 Smerits! I don't get how it's happening except, I was just made a merit source

I think you're joking for April Fools. I can't find the text characters in your screenshot matching the text characters in my account

Do you understand the difference between the two images?  I'm assuming you edited the image to fool us on April Fools' Day.

yup, In op's image his Smerits amount to 572 here 5 and 7 of these numbers look fine but 2 are completely edited. op's April Fool wishing trick was not realistic. Royse777 tricks, meanwhile, seemed genuine.

APRIL FOOL 

Nice one guys, nice one on participation.  Curious though, I would have loved to know what steps you guys used as a means to verifying what could have gone wrong or what was up and perhaps, it was a hunch for some. What was it for you and how did you guys managed to discern what was going on?

Apparently, there is nothing too serious that can come out of April 1st. Nutildah was the first to have noted what was up and when I saw his comment, I almost choked ony cup of coffee. Was going to comment there and then to let it end but somehow, had to let it play out and look out for job rational those that would come pouring in would be to the trick. I wished Nutildah didn't break it really early though.

@SatoPrincess,  you were evidently right. It was a rushed up thread that came to mind after realising what day it was and noting some of the on going threads to fool the rest of us on the thread.

APRIL FOOL, done!

You have a different font for the number, so it should be pretty easy to verify that you're fooling someone. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of your yesterday's thread, but I wish I did answer for something similar to what I said above.

But great idea, at least you can fool some newbie who don't really care about the merit system. Next time use the exact same font so someone can hardly tell the difference.

Apparently not everything was put under consideration but, the font was something I had to scan for what is more similar. Didn't do that based on a number against number base and what font does the forum actually use, I haven't checked that out yet. One issue I faced on font selection was making it bold. The software I was using for edition didn't allow that and everything was done quickly.
Somehow, it was going to catch those that don't keep a keen eye on slight differences or arent really familiar with the forum fonts. I would say a lot of users followed up from the observations of Nutildah else, we could have seen more users falling in.
