There is not another option to do something similar, and nothing should have changed due to the removal of the switch for admins. In the Preferences settings, on the Under the Hood tab, there used to be one that said something like "Opt-out of Achievements" (I can't remember the exact wording); I had this set, with the result that I simply wasn't part of anyone's Achievements program, like the VSTF to whom Achievements are likewise irrelevant.

It has now been replaced with one which says "Hide my achievements on my profile from everybody"; not at all the same thing, since I am no longer opted-out of the system, I now show on the Leaderboard regardless. I preferred it the other way.
