To be clear, my thoughts around “disempowering” newcomers were really with those who literally just signed up. They have less than 100 obs in a taxa… and no ID experience… and start adding 10s or 100s of species level IDs in taxa where its not possible, without realising the time it can take others to correct, or the impact this might have on the AI / dataset.
So when I said disempowering… I meant more limiting their powers until they understand the power they are being attributed.
The forum has basic levels of trust…why wouldn’t we have that with identification?
