Make captive/cultivated not automatically "no ID needed"

Yeah there’s still no way on the website to filter for captive/cultivated observations that have 2 or more IDs and >2/3 agreement on ID (“Research Grade other than being captive/cultivated” - this feature request), which can be problematic for urban biodiversity and restoration studies in particular.

Not sure if I’m quite understanding here, but if you uncheck the “verifiable” box on the Explore page, you can view all observations (Casual, Needs ID, and Research Grade): https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=35&taxon_id=51148&verifiable=any

On Identify you toggle on Casual to include the captive ones with Needs ID obs: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?quality_grade=needs_id%2Ccasual&taxon_id=51148&place_id=35

There has been a related request to make some of these search queries “sticky”: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/provide-more-sticky-account-settings-for-filter-defaults/2778 (but the default on iNat will exclude captive observations since they’re not a main focus for the website).
