Hi - recently flagged a few observations from a user who posted screenshots of social media (containing images of organisms). This user has had a lot of observations removed for use of copyrighted media. They also have a number of observations are that RG, and not obviously suspect.
How do curators handle a situation like this? Because of the number of bad observations this user has posted, I’d be inclined not to trust any of their observations to be true. Curious about iNat’s policies for handling these kinds of situations.
