Been trying to use the `:user_badge_granted` to trigger a task in a plugin I’ve written. I’m currently using the `:user_badge_granted` as a proxy for a user updated trigger (I haven’t had time to create a pull request for a user updated trigger).

I’ve noticed that badges that are automatically granted using SQL, and triggered on user info updates don’t fire the `:user_badge_granted` trigger, and thus not firing my plugins task.
