Why are some accounts adding super high level ids to my unknown observations

I’m not exactly sure if you want no ID suggestions for Unknowns or only want narrower suggestions. If it’s no suggestions until you’ve narrowed it yourself:

  1. Mark it as casual grade temporarily. A much smaller fraction of identifiers looks at these compared to wild observations.
  2. For the identification, type in something like “Please do not Suggest IDs”.
  3. Disabling the auto-sync feature (see: Auto-sync on app) allows editing/identifying before loading into iNat, at least with the Android version.
