I have a serious question for the community. When I first joined Inat, a user posted photos that were screenshots off their camera. My 14 year old self was quick to flag them off as “Copyright Infringement”. These were his photos, and I flagged over 10 of his screenshots. I was wondering today if …

A curator can pull up all of your copyright infringement flags , and resolve any or all of them. If you know a specific curator you can tag for help, that is one way, otherwise you can email help@inaturalist.org . I see 11 flags on one user, and later 5 more on other different users. If those first 1…

I checked them all, resolved all the ones I think were probably in error, and added comments to the rest (theres one that could go either way).

Helpful for sure – if one can track down the flags 3 years after the fact, which was the challenge in this case. I don’t think non-curators can see or use the flag-query system I linked above, but I’d love to hear confirmation one way or the other from a non-curator.

Thanks for that. If I did not clarify the other 5 observations by different users are copyright infringement.

I for sure could access the search interface at http://www.inaturalist.org/flags before I got curator status. I could for sure see at least search for flags made by me and about me, and flags on taxa. I don’t know if I could have seen anything else, I didn’t check. You do have to log in to use the s…

I’m not a curator, and I could see all the flags I’ve raised by putting my username in and all the ones that yayemaster has raised when I put their user name in
