Edit Taxon photo

iNat user just asked me if I could change a taxon photo for him.

Apparently he didn’t have the option under curation to edit an taxon photo himself.

Is there a new rule that only curators can select taxon photos or is there another rule regarding taxon photos?

please excuse the childish question.:person_tipping_hand:t4:

I am not a curator and I am still able to edit the taxon photos; “edit photos” is visible for me in the curation dropdown on the right, and I can edit them from there.

most users (aside from relatively new accounts and/or accounts with few verifiable observations) can edit taxon photos

And the limits on new accounts are quite new themselves. Prior to a few months ago, anyone at all could edit photos.

There was a bad patch when trolls were changing taxon pictures to roadkill? Then a low barrier was added to prevent bad behaviour.
