While it’s not a bug, if it was an imaginary problem then [these](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-many-identifications-that-agree-are-enough-for-an-observation/13646)[discussions](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/speed-identifying-quality-controls-4th-5th-6th-ids-community-perspective/14153) wouldn’t have happened, totalling ~60 messages of discussion with contributors generally in consensus as far as I can tell.

Given the backlash I wonder if it would be better to deal with people who do mass/spam agreeing IDs on an individual basis, except that it’s really difficult to tell until they’ve already affected thousands of observations.
