https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/31839934#activity_identification_75835372 Odd behavior: Cleaning up CV issue through Identify. User entered genus (w/o having used CV), I agreed to genus and marked DQA “no, it’s a good as it can be”. Genus Desmia became Research Grade. User then decided…

In what way is a continual uncorrected bug a solution… Why then waste time attempting to keep erroneous CV errors from occurring? System generated false Research Grades are, to me, an embarrassment to the iNat platform. I obviously need to rethink whether to use iNat data for MPG if this is a on…

what solution are you referring to? it’s best to keep discussion of the same bug under one topic.

Someone marked your comment as a “solution”. If it belongs somewhere else that will also be ignored, feel free to move it, delete it, whatever you as a moderator want to do with it. I’ve given up…

In the example you gave you just would need to reidentify as Desmia (genus) and select the disagreeing ID option (as I did). I agree it’s not ideal and needs to be fixed. See this related feature request I made: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/search-by-observation-taxon-or-community-taxon/3620 Th…

Yeah I’ve been on inat since 2011 and it’s true things don’t get changed as fast now but when I joined I was something like account 4100, there were only a few dozen active users. Now there are millions. For better and for worse, things can’t change as fast now. This issue isn’t ideal but it doesn’t…

[image] charlie: In the mean time if you are concerned about data quality one option is to create a collection project of hand picked users you know produce high quality data and work with those observations primarily Thanks, @charlie Yes, I think that is the best outcome I can hope for now……

I’m struggling to see the bug. After adding the single species level ID, the observation’s community ID is properly at genus level, because two species level IDs would be needed at minimum to make community ID species level. And with “as good as it can be” checked, the observation is properly Rese…
