OK, agreed, bad idea ([I was not the only one](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/excessive-use-of-tagging/34391/27)) - let’s forget it. :).

Since there is no improvement to the Notifications System in the works afaik, are there other ways around?

Alternative: turn off notifications, let people learn to tag multiple “top identifiers” simultaneously (or move sequentially to a “2nd Top Identifier” if they get no reply from the “Top” one after a while) (or make the effort to write a Direct Message).  
Other solution : leave notifications on, but quit IDing a taxon just before becoming “Top identifier” for it. Not so hard to keep track of, thanks to [this web app](https://elias.pschernig.com/wildflower/leastobserved.html).
