Regarding iNat During the City Nature Challenge: I Think it's Fun

For me, the major frustrations with the CNC weren’t so much outright malicious activity, but rather the floods of observations and CV misidentifications in taxa where there’s only a handful of trustworthy identifiers. Trying to keep up with and correct “CV take the wheel” IDs in terms of both initial IDs and people either blind-agreeing or semi-randomly picking CV suggestions has absolutely burned me out over the past couple of weeks.
