So out communities have a very specific use for… badges. Some have 4 badges and they’ll do fine.

However, we also have users with 24 badges!

I want to know if there is a way to make the `max_favorite_badges` to be set ABOVE 6:

```r
discourse(prod)> SiteSetting.max_favorite_badges = 50
lib/site_settings/type_supervisor.rb:308:in ‘SiteSettings::TypeSupervisor#validate_value’: max_favorite_badges: Value must be between 0 and 6. (Discourse::InvalidParameters)

```
