Can we turn _off_ the granting of this badge for FAQ?

We use a different FAQ link to an _actual_ FAQ and have /guidelines go to the Guidelines. I found that users are still getting granted this badge by merely visiting /about/faq even though that just redirects to a different real FAQ. We want to have this badge _only_ granted for visiting /guidelines.
