For forums used in gaming, the member list is a vulnerability and the members of a group is even a bigger problem. Both of those already have the option to disable. But badges are wide open and present a problem for gaming communities. There is option to disable badges, but the feature is great for social community building and important.

I request the following improvements to badges.

1. Add option per badge to disable the badge user lists that shows all the user with a badge.  
– a cool improvement to this would be able to select groups that can view it.
2. Add option per badge to only display the badge on the user’s profile when that user, a moderator or an admin is viewing it.
