Admittedly, this one will also be hard to fix (I think)…

1. Badges granted via a Whisper post give away the existence of a whisper post.

Repro Steps:

1. Login as a Moderator/Admin
2. Perform action to be granted a badge
3. Login as a regular user (TL1)
4. View badges page, see link to whisper post (clicking it doesn’t show it though)
