User Questagame has added a duplicate observation to mine

General

This was my observation in iNat: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/71690708

This observation https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/18626118 seems to be a duplicate loaded by an account called Questagame of the same observation, I assume made by me in the Questgame app. I used to use Questgame before moving to iNat.

Seems we are allowing Questagame to upload observations we have made in Questagame to it’s own iNat account even if we have already uploaded the same observation ourselves?

this was an unsanctioned use. it is not an ongoing problem, but the data loaded back in the day remains. you can search the forum to find more details, if you’re really curious, but it’s probably not worth your time.

Questagame is not liked much around here, for reasons that were explained in a very old thread that I didn’t understand well at all.

Questagame is User Suspended.
But all their obs and IDs remain.
Identifiers still have to push back against wrong IDs.
Go figure? Doesn’t make sense to me.
