User downgrading my IDs unnecessarily

[sgene]

When you make such an ID, you are asked whether or not you disagree with the Species ID. Unfortunately the choice made is not, as far as I know, visible thereafter, so I have generally felt uncomfortable about making such IDs without adding an explanatory comment, and if I receive one of these IDs, I ask them what they meant.

With this new proposed Identification Etiquette Tutorial https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/identification-etiquette-on-inaturalist-wiki/1503, the advice is to no longer make coarser IDs unless we actually disagree with the finer ID or don’t think there is enough evidence to support the finer ID. (See paragraph 3 of the tutorial)
