Not a fan of swapping out the view.
My recommendation here @Mitchelsellers is to start small. Award the badges without recognizing specific posts.
[made twenty super liked posts as a member] (title TBD) is a good place to start.
Basically come up with a custom way of recognition with custom queries.
Adding permission checks throughout the places where we link badges to posts is tricky, recommend against taking this path.
Start small and easy.
