For instance, recently I have earned two gold badges: commutative-algebra and abstract-algebra tags badges. I wonder if such a badge (or any other) can be withdrawn if, for instance, people downvote many of my answers.
But since I have already bumped the room, the link in question was this:
@MartinSleziak an answer in the linked to post is not up to date (in that the practice of not awarding new badges in case there are "excess" badges got discontinued long ago). I am not sure what is the best course of action. — quid2 hours ago
But at the moment nothing is needed from the moderators.
