Help with Hong Kong posts?

I took a look at the flood of posts. I guess I wish there was a way to steer what appear to be students onto Seek. I could see new users who had posted 100 plus observations by their third day on iNaturalist, essentially all as unknowns, many cultivated but not flagged as such, almost all in the vicinity of a school. I also wish that there was some sort of way to alert teachers that Seek would be a better option especially if they are not planning to help curate their student’s observations. I am a teacher with students on iNaturalist, but along with following each student, I also track every observation made by a student without having to create a project. And then I follow-up with my students in class. I also wish there was a way to reach out to teachers to help them guide their students, but that goes back to other conversations on teachers, students, and iNaturalist usage. I realize that there is an excellent Teacher’s Guide, but I have the sense that the teachers in Hong Kong might not have read that. Perhaps there should also be a Student’s Guide and an onboarding introduction to the app that includes reference to the Teacher’s and Student’s guides. And perhaps that is still in the planned onboarding.
