I moved the above posts from this topic:  
[https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/can-someone-tell-me-to-not-identify-their-observations/66568](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/can-someone-tell-me-to-not-identify-their-observations/66568)  
since they had become a new conversation not directly related to the original topic and the OP had requested posters to stay on their original topic. I titled as best I could but this could be changed.

For what it’s worth, staff have repeatedly said that they are uninterested in having a system which weights IDs differently or adding gamification features to iNat generally and IDing specifically.
