  if the list of users has been initially filtered based on met criteria.
* New optional parameter $archive in delete() in badge class in badgeslib.php
  allows to indicate that a badge should be archived instead of fully deleted.
  If this parameter is set to FALSE, a badge will all its information, criteria,
  and awards will be removed from the database.
