I just saw a link to this conversation flag on the iNaturalist forum. Is this an especially messy year, or is it like this every year?

"users falsifying observations to fit into CNC criteria, blindly agreeing IDs and sockpuppet accounts, not-marking cultivated plants as such"

"I'm not even trying to correct observations with IDs in Macau. I've suspended probably almost a hundred accounts in the past 24hrs from that project. Every day new accounts are beening created."

"I sympathise with observers and identifiers who had useful and curated data, and now find themselves in a garbage strike, swamped in rubbish."

"at least four project admins who have falsified observation dates"

And on and on, big yikes.
