How do you inspire shy observers (getting suggested id, but not clicking "share")?

iNat displays the ID with a human name. Whether we use a field guide, or years of knowledge, or CV as a tool. My ID is mine. If the identifier’s name is new to me - as yours was - I go to your profile - then I can evaluate your ID.
If I do recognise your name, but, because you enthusiastically add wrong IDs, then ignore notifications, or you were here for a week for CNC then disappeared forever … I can evaluate that ID too.

If. We had effective notification management, then wrong IDs would be a trivial problem. Hello? Wrong ID. Please reconsider?
