Reporting unsuitable photos in the "Identify" path

Should there be an easy way for people to flag unsuitable photos in the identify path?

The image is almost certainly a group of D.fuchsii, but they're only about 6pixels high, so I wouldn't guarantee it.Posted

Hi AdrianW2
There is no way of reporting an image once it's been uploaded onto the system. If the photograph is of poor quality (blurred, out of focus, too far away etc.) then a group consensus on the identification will not be attained above a suitable threshold for the image to be included in the final data analysis. It will be simply weeded out by the process of the project itself. Similarly, photographs of orchids that are very difficult to identify (usually Dactylorhiza hybrids) will also go the same way because people's opinions will naturally divide and so a group consensus won't be properly achieved. This of course is not a major problem as Dactylorhiza hybrids are not included in the project - we just want good photographs of readily identifiable pure species to compare with the herbarium records!
