I notice some of my observations go to research grade and then stop. Others get many, many hits all saying the same species but a dozen or more ‘id’s. Is there a reason I don’t appreciate for why people will continue to ID something that already has 3, 4, 5…. validations?
Hi, here’s a recent topic about this that covers some of the common reasons: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/people-identifying-sightings-identified-previously-when-it-is-unnecessary/76478
Because this was so recently discussed here on the forum I’ll set this one to close soon. I’d suggest reading through that one (there is an icon at the top to help narrow to top replies) and contributing there.
