Disabling the badges does not remove them from the users; instead, everyone who earned them keeps them while everybody else is locked out from it. I've seen it before. As a matter of fact, you (Blaziken) and many others still have a few of the old disabled badges (such as those belonging to the Omnitrix Heroes edit track).
