Do not display the usernames that hold a specific badge

[Richie (Richie Rich)]

I might be on to something here:

@Richie

Maybe create a user field called “Status”, have it visible on their profile, but not editable by them.

I’ve created a user field called “Member”, and I do not let them edit it:

If I edit one user to test it with, I can see “Member: Yes” on their profile:

This is probably the decider though:

@Richie

Could I then update this “status” user field automatically by an API call?

How would I go about doing this?

I have an existing API calls that is made already when someone becomes a member, I fire an API call to Discourse to add them to a group. Could I also fire a second API call to update that User Field?
