Question about posting photos that weren't taken by me, but I saw the organism

Here is a response from iNaturalist staff:

@tiwane

If done rarely, yes. But iNat is first and foremost a community and a place for people to document and discuss their perosnal interactions with nature, from which data are generated. It’s not a data repository for data generated elsewhere. I’d encourage the person to make a free iNat account and post their photo to it.

That whole thread (that the quote is taken from) is worth a read, as it only has 17 replies, so it will only take you a few minutes to read through it.
