Badges based on User Custom Fields?

And you’ll have to be careful when editing (specifically adding and removing other) fields of course.

Agreed. I’m hopeful to find an answer related to that here:

Unused TOS custom user field safe to delete?

AFAIK, I am not using this pre-provided “TOS” custom user field, and we use SSO for external registration. Is it safe to delete this custom field using the (enabled) Delete button? Will doing so renumber/rename my 2nd custom field named user_field_2 in the databse or will user_field_1 be forever gone and not reused?
