Observations without media should not allow IDs by other users

Observation that originally had a picture, that has since been deleted by the observer; what happens on a technical level in that case? Does it remove the IDs when that happens? Or are they just frozen forever as they were when it was deleted?

I think they’re frozen. Looking through no media obs based on another thread, I’ve come across IDs I made on observations that now have no media. On some of these my ID was the first suggestion made. Since I don’t ever suggest IDs on observations without media, this seems to indicate there was originally a picture that I based my ID on but it has since been deleted. Apparently nothing happens with the IDs in those cases, and I found at least one observation were this was the case and it was still RG.
