TLDR: Identifications can end up in limbo. User is only presented w/ option to withdraw their ID for a removed post, currently no way to delete that ID since the link to manage the ID no longer works. Background: I identified an observation as Human, then flagged the content as spam. The observat…

[image] kiwifergus: ultra pedants view: it would be “didn’t” if after or in reply (past tense), prior would be a warning (future tense) hence “don’t”. When used pre-emptively, it does not mean “don’t read this”; it means “yeah, I know this looks like a wall of text, so here’s a short taster”.…

I did not find this definition when I did a brief google search for the term. I found the “didn’t read” version, but not the “don’t read” version either. We shouldn’t be using abbreviations like this at all, it confuses people and is very unwelcoming to new users to have to try and decode things. E…

Maybe we need a tutorial on how to write clear and succinct messages on the iNat forum.

I started a Glossary (linked above), but I think given the international nature of iNat that we also need to be thinking about how our posts might “translate” into other languages. When you know who your audience is and what they understand (ie DMs or Direct messages) then you can use terms and lang…

Yeah, I was being a little snarky. Too many long threads on the forum that are hard to decipher.

I guess it’s up to you, but if you know it’s spam, why ID it? Or did you realize it was spam only after you added the ID? Yes. That’s what happened. So would your request be to have that option for otherwise inaccessible IDs? Yes. That, and I think that the “identifications” page deserves a…

TLDR is a prolific term used across the web, although it does usualy come at the end of a lengthy post, and not the begining -though both are apropriate use cases. TLDR is a form of summary (summation?), which is why I opted to lead with it. In my experiance on the web, TLDR and “Summary” are synony…

[image] KC1LQM: TLDR is a prolific term used across the web I’ll have to admit I had seen it a couple times before, but thought it was some sort of weird unicode or html translation thing… like [image] KC1LQM: I am certain that when they’re confused about something, most will choo…

I’m not sure why your comments bothered me so much, but it’s been happening a bit lately. I think maybe my world view is not necessarily narrow, perhaps just different, and I seem to be in conflict here too often. Maybe I bring that on myself… regardless, I’m not enjoying my time in the forum anywhe…

[image] kiwifergus: picking the one that’s only been in the dictionary since 2018? English is a living language. We do, need to move with the times. Ask, or Google as needed. I find it fascinating to follow how our language changes. Plants which are indigenous to me, are native to the USA (he…
