I know it can't be research grade because the observer opted out of community ID and no one so far agrees with the observer. But I can't figure out why it is "casual" instead of "needs ID." It has photo and date and location, and I don't see anything in the DQA to make it "casual." Thanks. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/308397

"Observations will revert to "casual" if the above conditions aren't met or....

  • the observer has opted out of the community ID and the community ID taxon is not an ancestor or descendant of the taxon associated with the observer's ID"

Thanks, bouteloua. I knew it must be somewhere. I see now that it's in the blue "i" link under Data Quality Assessment.

Yeah, it should probably say something like "User disagrees with Community ID" under reasons it's not Research Grade.
