User profiles hidden from public, but the badges are not

So then the setting would become:

hide user profiles from public
Disable user cards, user profiles and user directory for anonymous users.
Hide the user directory, user profiles, user cards, and badges earned from anonymous users

@mcwumbly

I think it makes sense to add a new setting show_badges_to_anonymous

Not strongly opposed to this either, though I wonder if it’s cleaner to roll it up into the existing setting based on the admins intent to hide user info rather than creating yet another setting to be aware of?

I’m in support of making the smaller change you’re suggesting first here.
