Bringing this back up (as it just came up for me), I’ve got an instance which is semi-private ([betterstreets.nz](http://betterstreets.nz)). A few categories are public, but much (including user stuff) is not. Except for badges!

It seems these days that the User list is hidden from `anon` programatically (yay!), and you can configure each group to be hidden as well without much fuss.

However, Badges are still visible to anon. Is there a reason for this? I’ve hidden mine using:

```css
// hide badges from anon
.anon .hamburger-panel .menu-panel a.badge-link {
    display: none;
}
.anon .badges-page div#main-outlet-wrapper {
    display: none;
}

```
