Add extra confirmation step when agreeing with IDs on own observations

I think this is a big issue with users of all skill levels. Even users who should know better are very quick to click the “agree” button to bump the observation up to RG. I wonder if the incentive were removed it would solve the problem - if it is your observation and you agree to the one other ID that is there, it doesn’t turn it into RG (i.e. you actually need 3 IDs in this situation before it can be RG). It makes it more complicated, but it might cut down on the blind agreeing that so many people do. And even if it doesn’t cut down on the number of people doing that, they aren’t sending observations to RG status with what is essentially a single ID.
