my first indication that I’ve reached “top identifier” status for a taxon is usually not by actually checking my ranking (because really, who does that?), but when I suddenly start to get a bunch of people tagging me for ID help without any other explanation… then I might go and see that my “rank” has risen. but since so-called “farming” (a rather novel take on the iNat community ID system!) doesn’t have any other benefits…
