I get this kind of response a lot from new users who don’t fully understand how the site works. If a user has less than 100 observations, I typically add “general ID to get the ball rolling” in the notes of identification to preempt this kind of response. If I still get a weird response, I link to the iNat help: Why do people keep adding “obvious” IDs like “Plants” or “Fungi”?.
Certain experienced users are sometimes disgruntled about higher IDs because they have a different preferred workflow. However, I think, where anyone chooses to deviate from a normal workflow, the burden is on the user to figure out how to get it working with iNat and not the other way around.
