Disable Rank Icons for certain Users?

[Superorb]

I'd like to disable user ranks for certain users (admin, forum bot, etc) but I can only find a way to show ranks for ALL groups or only 1 group. There's no way to pick and choose which groups the ranks apply to. If this isn't built in is there a way I can add an IF conditional in the templates to hide it for certain users? I couldn't find a plugin for a more granular ranks manager on the .org site either. For example, I have a username that I only use for announcements and to welcome new users with the same name as the site itself. And I don't want it to have any user rank at all. I don't want anyone to see a rank for this user. How can I disable ranks for this user (or a few other users)?
