Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):
Today I uploaded two development series of caterpillars reared from wild larvae to adulthood. The initial observation in the series is the wild larva. I marked all consecutive observations as captive. When I looked back at the observations after a bit of time, I saw that both of the initial wild observations for two separate individual caterpillars had been marked as captive by ‘iNaturalist’ and were thus downgraded to casual. But they were not captive at this time. When I tried to ask and tag the user and click on the tag, it said that user has been suspended. See both URL’s above. They are now research grade because I voted them as wild in the DQA, but they would have remained casual if I hadn’t revisited the observations. Why is ‘iNaturalist’ marking these as captive?
Thank you!
