'Needs ID' pile, and identifications

Rather than try to modify the actions of other users, especially those that are “power users” who use the site to document their experience in the natural world their way, I think it is easier to modify my identifying experience.

One of the easiest ways to modify my identifying experience is by exploring and using search parameters. https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-to-use-inaturalists-search-urls-wiki-part-1-of-2/63

Two modification to the parameters for identifying that might help you with your experience is to add

&not_user_id=bobmcd (example)

It sounds like you may have done this. Or limit to new users

&user_before=4w&user_after=52w

modify as needed.

Just add the user names of those users to your notepad and sprinkle when needed into you identify URL query. You can also use these parameters in the same query. For instance if it is two new power users.

/observations/identify?place_id=any&not_user_id=bobmcd,ddubois2&user_before=4w&user_after=52w
