Preferred way of dealing with Plant versus Rust Fungi

[bouteloua]

I see the topic was “unsolved”, so I’ll chime in - it’s pretty solidified identification etiquette to honor the observer’s intention:

11. Honour the observer’s intention. If the observation shows a photo of an elephant with its toe touching a daisy, and the observer indicates they are interested in the daisy, then don’t add identifications for the elephant. Or if the observer doesn’t add an initial identification, but chimes in later when they see the wrong thing being identified, follow their lead and identify whatever they are interested in.

I have hundreds of plant observations that also have rust depicted. If I left iNat for a while and came back to observations having been reidentified as a different kingdom I’d personally be pretty annoyed.
