Not a fan of swapping out the view.

My recommendation here @Mitchelsellers is to start small. Award the badges without recognizing specific posts.

`[made twenty super liked posts as a member]` (title TBD) is a good place to start.

Basically come up with a custom way of recognition with custom queries.

Adding permission checks throughout the places where we link badges to posts is tricky, recommend against taking this path.

Start small and easy.
