A member of the iNat community has made over 2000 authoritative IDs that have been very helpful to me and others. They have a profile on iNaturalist, but if you search for them in the “community,” they do not come up. I believe this is because this person has made 0 observations. I hope that we can have the “community” listing include those members who have only contributed by making IDs. They shouldn’t be left out. Thanks!
I think this is working as designed, that you have to have made at least one (?) observation to be removed from the “potential spam user” list. Also, any curator can manually them as not a spammer.
Sorry to be unclear. I meant on my dashboard page, the “Community” tab, under “People.” Apparently the person has to make at least one observation to be listed. I’ll encourage them to do that!
