I think that is what I proposed?
Another bullet point → Understanding where re-introduction of native species have been successful. If I reintroduce a native plant to an area where it has been extirpated, how will future scientists know that the now wild colony is (or may have been) the result of re-introduction?
I think this is similar to BugGuide’s approach, poor quality uploads are moved to a section called “frass” and then deleted after a certain amount of time.
If the “rubbish” was the only picture they managed to get in a place that they may never get to visit again, it probably isn’t rubbish to them.
I think you may have misunderstood me, I mean genuine pointless things like when people post pictures of literal rubbish, cuddly toys, pictures of their kids or mates with joke IDs, etc.
Is this
Under Consideration
or Declined
?
155 votes would like to know, please? 5 years … we are nothing, if not patient.
Yes, for such a highly-voted request and such a serious topic (whether or not one agrees with the request, this relates to a very core decision about how data is structured), it would be good to get a sense of
- Whether changes related to this topic are actively being worked on internally or have been declined, and
- If the topic has been declined or dropped, what alternative changes are being considered to address the fundamental concerns that motivated this request to become the top-voted request on the forums, by a current margin of 29 votes?
