The badge with a level next to the name is the profile [rating](https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/telegram-rating). It appears when you spend Stars in Telegram: on gifts, marketplace purchases, paid messages and posts.

## Can you hide the rating

Telegram's privacy settings have no separate switch for the rating: if you have one, everyone who opens your profile sees the level badge. Only accounts with a zero rating — those that haven't spent Stars yet — have no badge.

Part of the rating is visible only to you anyway:

- how many points are pending and when the rating will update;
- the future rating after those points are added;
- how many points the next level still needs.

## How to remove the rating badge

There's no button for it. The level drops only through deductions — Stars refunds and converting gifts to Stars — and that's no way out: such deductions push the rating below zero, and Telegram shows a negative rating in red as a sign of unreliable payments.

If you just don't want to show your gifts, you can hide them from the profile — that's a separate setting, see [how to hide gifts on Telegram](https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/hide-gifts-in-profile). The rating stays.

## How to remove a negative rating

The red badge goes away when the rating gets back above zero. For that you need to spend Stars in Telegram: gifts from the shop count in full, the marketplace, paid messages and posts at 20%. The rating window shows how many Stars it takes, and points are added in about three weeks. Details in [Telegram negative rating](https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/negative-rating).

You can buy those Stars in the Shiba Bank bot — about a third cheaper than in Telegram on a phone ([price comparison](https://shiba-bank.com/en/compare)), with crypto, by card or SBP.
