Default Disable Rank Icons for certain Users?

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)?

There is no option, create a usegroup and move your robots into it

Ok, but how do I make sure that rank icons do not display for that new usergroup? I have no problem creating a Bots usergroup.

You just don't assign any ranks for Bots usergroup, Or if you have ranks assigned for all usergroups creata a text rank for Bots lets say "I am a robot" then tick Stack Rank -->Yes

Yes, all my ranks are for all usergroups and they are based on promotions from posts. Won't stacking show both ranks? Even if I do a text rank, I don't want anything to show below the Bot's username. No rank, no title, no text.

then exclude Bots from promoting, eventually insert transparent image you already have in your forum root clear.gif as a rank for Bots

And no stacking will not show both, only one

Actually, all stacking does is determine whether to add a <br> before the rank or not. At least, that's what the help file says about it.

I set the regular ranks for everyone to say "this group only" and the same for the Bot rank. I used a &nbsp; as well as CSS to hide text and both ways worked well. I also thought about using the clear.gif as you've mentioned too and that should also work.

How do I exclude a usergroup from promotions?

From the help file. But, I've tried it both ways and there's never a <BR> inserted before the rank itself so who knows.

Stack Rank
If chosen, the rank will be stacked when appearing with other ranks. Otherwise the rank will be placed to the left of other ranks. In HTML terms, this option controls whether or not a <br /> tag is inserted before the rank.
