Identification Etiquette on iNaturalist - Wiki

If that were ever done maliciously by an observer, it might be something to address for “observation etiquette,” but not sure it really fits in this topic. Personally I haven’t seen that happen very often, and when it does, it’s usually a newer user still figuring out how the system works. If I had already left an identification on the observation, it would definitely bother me if the photos were subsequently changed to a different organism. Hopefully when the next-generation notification system comes online, we’ll be able to receive notifications about changes like that.
