Remove leaderboard from Identify page

Would larger thumbnails have the unintended consequence of more people identifying from the thumbnail without opening the photo and looking at it in detail? In itself, its own problem.

Then remove the agree button on thumbnails

In all seriousness, I would say thumbnail size is basically an independent request and probably we should keep the discussion here to removing the leaderboard and we can talk over there about enlarging the thumbnails.

@thebeachcomber

the 10th identical ID on an observation is given the same ‘value’ on the leaderboards as the first ID that nailed the species.

I totally see where you’re coming from, but I think a change of this magnitude is outside the scope of the current request. I actually see potentially two separate weighting systems: one that allows an “expert” ID to do more to change the Community ID [staff response to that here], and a different one that somehow weights the quality of an ID (e.g. a first ID is worth more than a 10th agreeing ID, or a maverick ID that later overturns the CID is worth more, etc.) to create a better top identifiers list.
But both of these have been discussed before, and again, I don’t think this is really the best place to continue those discussions.
