I have a group visible only for owners and moderators, on which I set a flair:

However, as a visitor, I see the flair:

I also see the group name in the CSS class: `avatar-flair-Private_group`

Not on purpose, we will get it fixed over the next month. It is somewhat tricky cause we do not want to introduce additional queries to every page view.

We will now only show flair for groups that are public.
