I didn’t say it was an official position. It is my opinion. If we on staff thought this was a serious problem we would build tools to support or suppress these kinds of images, or at least include some kind of statement of policy in the FAQ or the Curator’s Guide. I would personally prefer that people not post these kinds of images as observation photos, but currently we don’t have an official position on them.
This convo has gone a bit off the rails. If anyone has input on better ways to programmatically make spectrograms that accommodate all (or a least most) use cases on iNat, including bats, I’m all ears (yuk yuk).
