Preferences -> Interface -> Skip new user onboarding tips and badges

Is there a way to decouple the badge notifications from the new user tips?

We have some users who would like to see badge notifications off by default, making them opt-in only, but I don’t want to disable them globally so that new users can still get onboarding tips.

Or is there possibly a way to disable them for anyone TL1 and above by default? Maybe that would solve the problem? (thinking out loud here)
