Over the weekend [I accidentally gave a few members a badge by adding them to a group they should not be members of](https://meta.discourse.org/t/group-owners-should-not-necessarily-be-group-members/38394), which they then ceremoniously were informed about via a notification. Then they were not informed when I removed them from the group and subsequently their badge was taken away from them.

I think “Earned x badge” should be matched by a “Lost x badge” or some such (what’s the antonym of earned?) so the user can be informed of what’s going on with their badges.
