Let me tell you how well iNat works right now.
3 yrs ago, I saw & posted something unusual for an arid sagebrush ecosystem. Noted it as Coral Fungi, confirmed ID & good enough.
But this past Spring, humans with real experience & knowledge constructively debated the observation.
This is the way.

Make them tell you, specifically, what you're not allowed to do. Don't make changes you guess that they want. Don't offer them a menu of things that you infer they might be telling you not to do. Do the work you proposed, and received funding to do, unless instructed otherwise in specific detail.
