New user Nerdowitz is overwhelmed with “you’ve earned … Badge” notifications. Luckily he found the checkbox deep down in preferences to turn them off!

But the problem is they’re still sitting there occupying 85% of his notifications and it’s making him mad but there’s nothing he can do about it.

So in addition to that checkbox, there ought to be a cleanerer-up button right next to it. For cleaning up any of the previous ones still there.

Sure, I bet there’s some place he could dig around for that could actually do that. But the button ought to be right next door too.

Yes it’s wonderful the system has promised not to give him any more new ones. But what about the old ones still lying around? He might not want to ever see them again either.
