Is there a way to hide the list of users that have a specific badge? I’ve looked at Don't list members having the same badges and Hide badge user list? but they don’t quite fit our use case (or more likely, our edge case). Badges are hugely popular in our community, they’re a fantastic resource f…

Could you not use flair instead?

Hmmmm :thinking: Quite possibly… Does this warning carry a risk of leaking sensitive member-numbers? Since this is a primary group, the name ‘hidden_group_test_2’ will be used in CSS classes which can be viewed by anyone. Excuse the loud colours, it’s just for testing: [Screenshot 2023-02-07…

[image] Stephen: Could you not use flair instead? I’ve performed a few tests but I’m not sure this is ideal for our use case either. The flair (from our hidden group) gets applied to the user, but the moment they join any of our other groups their flair is replaced with that of the group the…

[image] Richie Rich: Is there a way to prevent people seeing who else holds just one specific badge? :thinking: Other thoughts were along the lines of forcing a title on all users, of “Guest” for example, but that could just be changed by them to any of the badge-titles they hold. I don’t th…

I might be on to something here: [image] Richie Rich: 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: [Screenshot 2023-02-08 at 17.28.00] If I edit one user to …

[image] Richie Rich: Could I also fire a second API call to update that User Field? Certainly :slight_smile: Each time you do any action in Discourse, you can check the network tab of your browser dev tools to see the query that was made. For example, here I save the profile of a user: [i…

Yes, it’s set on all our groups, so they get the flair for the group they just joined.
