Back when I first joined Inat in 2020 I would “speed-ID” where I would just click Agree to everything RG and adding supporting ID’s. I only did this for less than 2 months however to this day I still get messages and tags for species that I have zero clue about.
yayemaster’s 2020 iNaturalist Year in Review · iNaturalist You can see the spike here in June/July.
To this day, I am still the top identifier of Harris’s Hawk, American Pygmy Kingfisher, Razorbill, and many other bird species that I identified from the Ebird randomizer.
Is there any way where I can be excluded from the leaderboard for these species since I am not familiar with them? I don’t want new users to think that I am an expert in these taxa when these IDs were 99.8% supporting RG observations.
No, there isn’t a way to do this without removing your identifications.
One option for your scenario is to go back and withdraw or remove those IDs.
Is there a fast way to do this? I am getting an “I ate Inaturalist” whale when I try to go to the back end of my identifications.
Don’t panick 
I totally understand your concern over other users falsely believing you to be an expert identifier of these species that you added uninformed supporting IDs to, and I have probably done the same. You know what though? It’s not that big of an issue, plus the time that you would spend withdrawing those IDs would be better spent adding informed IDs to Needs ID observations. If someone tags you asking “What hawk is this?”, be honest and reply “I don’t know”. Normally birds are identified quickly anyway, so you shouldn’t get too many tags, and others will surpass you in the leaderboard eventually.
Within the iNat user interface I’m not sure what is fastest but sorting by observations least recently updated will help you find your old IDs: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?reviewed=any&quality_grade=needs_id%2Cresearch%2Ccasual&order_by=observed_on&order=asc&ident_user_id=yayemaster&taxon_id=5355
This view will jump down the page to your ID which would be faster: https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_identifications?user_id=yayemaster&taxon_id=5355&order=asc (if you click the ID #, not the obs #/)
You could work thru your IDs for those first.
And leave a few lines on your profile ‘don’t ask, IDK’ …
Thanks!
Here is another possible solution: learn to identify those birds for real. Become the expert people think you are.
Now that’s the real solution! Never thought of this!
Why, oh why would you add an ID for any species you are not actually familiar with?? Not good for science, for the species in question, for the reliability of iNaturalist, or for your reputation.
Hasn’t everyone done something silly when they didn’t know better? By the sound of it this was adding IDs to what was already confirmed, which is hardly the worst bit of dumbassery anyone’s done while overexcited about cool birds upon having just joined the site. What freaks me out is hitting a leaderboard because I wanted to update observations’ subspecies IDs…
If yayemaster’s profile is up-to-date, we’re talking about someone who was 12 or 13 at the time . . . .

I just turned 14 at that time so I was definitely not as mature/knowledgeable.
Of course, adding an agreeing ID to an observation we couldn’t ID on our own is something none of us have ever done. 
Choosing"sedgequeen" as my username seemed like a great idea – I was even getting mail addressed to “Sedge Queen” back before you were born, and I am good at identifying the Carex sedges I know in the area I know. Now on iNaturalist I get requests to identify flatsedges (Cyperus) in Africa or odd members of the sedge family from Australia. I have no clue. I suppose on some level it’s good for me to get used to writing “I don’t know. I’m sorry.” It’s not a lot of fun, though.
Keep going. Keep learning. You’re certainly making a useful contribution here.
iNat years are like dog years. I have learnt lots with each year here.
That explains a lot … like why I’m so tired after my six am morning walk and it’s only three in the afternoon!
Dogs nap a lot. Humans aren’t supposed to nap nearly as much as we want to.
I know we’re off topic.
Cats seem to have the correct napping strategy.
Neither dogs nor cats have the over burdened work ethic i erroneously adopted.
Back to the topic… Jason is correct!!!
