Description of problem: This observation of mine is research grade and fulfils all the RG-requirements, but the community taxon shows >1/3 red. There are 5 IDs not disagreeing with each other, however a 6th ID (different kingdom) seems to have been deleted.
As I do not know the precise course of events, this is assumed:
Step 1: Person A posts a misidentification
Step 2: Person B disagrees
Step 3: Person A deletes mis-ID
Step 4: Persons C & D make obs go to RG
I have noticed this on a number of observations where a currently higher-level but functionally agreeing ID was initially made disagreeing with a now retracted or changed ID. on this observation, I also see it on my end.

Yours is ‘hard disagreement’ and the CID is somehow holding on to this.
When I added another Asteraceae it moved to 2/3.
If you would change yours ?
But this - CID nurses a grudge against an ID which has been deleted
was a bug
which WAS resolved.
(Sorry can’t find the link - it was a passing mention on something else)

it seems to be holding onto mine also – it goes away when I withdraw my initial ID, or switch to another ID, but returns if I restore my original ID of Asteraceae – so it’s something intrinsic to the post, not just a matter of re-indexing or such.
I’ll leave my disagreement-making Asteraceae ID up for now (since it doesn’t affect the overall observation Community ID or the research grade status) in case others want to look in the meantime before I next check.

After they fixed the bug (in my whining eyes)
re-indexing was supposed to fix any persistent problems.
The CID is RG, and that algorithm arithmetic is … interesting.
When I add another Sonchus oleraceus
That gives an interesting count of 4 out 6.
3 Sonchus
2 Asteraceae
and 1 Life
= 4 ???

The behavior of the color bar on the community ID is somewhat unexpected/non-intuitive. It seems to reflect whether the current IDs were added as a disagreement, not whether they disagree with the current ID.
There is a bug report here:
