I like the /about page, and appreciate it being simple and transparent about the running and activity of a discourse site. However, on our site we have decided not to give anyone who logs in every day admin access and instead have created one admin user account that is shared by our team to log in and perform admin actions. So that account should be hidden from view everywhere in fact - not just on the about page but in badge listings etc. An option (on the admin page for users? on the preferences page?) to hide/show this would be really nice.

Meanwhile the list of moderators would look better with real names of the moderators rather than their usernames, along with link to the user profile as it exists now. So an admin setting to switch this would be appreciated. (This is generally true - would prefer to see real names to usernames even on badge listings so maybe this could be a sitewide toggle?)
