I’ve disabled [it](https://meta.discourse.org/t/weekly-or-monthly-best-new-user-badge/60065) via the ACP, but it it still sending members a notification that they have been awarded the badge - is this a bug? Or do I need to turn it off somewhere else?

_It’s a great idea btw - but we already run a Member of The Month award and this may cause confusion, hence wanting to switch it off._

Sorry about that. The code was smart enough to not award the badge via the BadgeGranter class, but it was still sending the system message. Fixed here:
