Which merits actually will be counted as airdropped merits?
Airdropped Merit is what all users with a rank above Jr. Member received when theymos introduced
the Merit system, in order to keep their current rank. I received 1000 at that time,
LoyceMobile got none.
Oh, I got it now. I also think about it. but was not sure. Also, one thing that came to my mind that, it could be also when theymos send some merits for any contest,(example: 10th-anniversary contest), also merits from some merit giveaway thread on beginner sections, etc. Now it's clear to me. Thank you.
Keep in mind that this setting hides the forum's "Merit: NNNN", which includes the airdropped merits and it probably makes sense to use it only together with the "Show earned merits" setting, otherwise you would just not see any merits in user info.
Probably not the best wording there, since it hides the merit number even if the user doesn't actually have any airdropped merits. Will tweak it in some future version.

I can confirm that the BPIP extension works just fine using the above steps.
Thanks. I saw that but didn't dare to try it or to suggest to anyone.
