Appropriate identifications for humans?

@cthawley

then curators hiding the picture of the target

Yes, I had forgotten, but I believe the curator(s) did do this as well.

To me the need for curation of observations of humans is a waste of time.

Yes, it is. We already know that humans occur in every locality where it is possible to make direct observations. We already know that the humanities are a separate branch of academia from iNat’s purview. Such observations do not add to the furtherance of iNat’s mission.

Unwritten rules are horrible unfair things.

Agreed.

@swampster

In my experience, bullies are very good at treading the line in a way that allows them to cause harm to others while not getting in trouble.

We have seen that happen on these forums.

I also think that domesticated pets/farm animals should not be included.

These are needed to keep track of feral populations. Also there is sometimes confusion between species. If someone is not allowed to post an observation of what they think is a lost or feral domestic rabbit, I wouldn’t be able to check to see if that ID is correct. It might actually be a cottontail.
