Looking over many Year in Reviews for 2025 I have noticed that the percentage of supporting IDs for power identifiers varies from a low of 22.7% to a high of 98.6%(with that user having a 10,000 identification day), with the most common range being between 65% and 85% supporting.

This will give you better idea about your individual taxons and your stats: https://www.inaturalist.org/identifications?user_id=sumie-dh&taxon_id=153155 < my Dugesiidae, because I doing these it’s like that.

You don’t need to ping me, I will see your worm, sooner or later. But I’d like to see pings by specific fo…

I think the only proactive thing you can do is to write something in your profile about what kind of pings you do or do not want. Of course, not everyone will read your profile, so then you have the choice: Just completely ignore the request or reply saying something polite like, “I am sorry, but I …
