I probably don’t see as much of this as identifiers in other taxa, but I feel the pain strongly. What I think is saddest about it is that the less knowledgeable/qualified a person is about the taxa they are identifying, the less likely they are to check back on the observations they affect. Since I started identifying on iNat, I have always followed the observations I add IDs to. Yes, I get a ton of notifications, but I want to see every subsequent ID and every comment. This is how I learned so much in the beginning and how I stay connected to the community and keep on my toes. It’s so hard to watch people come blasting through with wrong IDs and never look back.
Sorry, that doesn’t add anything helpful. I think sending a DM is a good idea, since @ comments clearly aren’t getting through. I wonder if we could add something to the “Identifying Observations” or “How to Become a Better Identifier” about following observations after adding an identification. I know it’s not for everyone, but I think it’s a must for beginning identifiers.
