Dear S.Frazier, there's no need to discuss further that matter, I allready had a long conversation with other Noah rangers at "Support Chat", and I reviewed my spottings. But there are hundreds of fellow spotters out there, still posting flower pics from all over the world. And someone has to inform them, in a way that he won't make them feel like they did some hideous crime. Because it's not their fault.
Yes it can be confusing but missions, unless they are global, are geographically limited. The title is very explicit. That it is full of plants from across the globe does not in and of itself make it a global mission. That means that the spottings don't belong there. If it was a global mission it wouldn't it be called Flowers of the World. To allow spottings from outside of the scope of the region of the mission lessens the value of the mission in showcasing the biodiversity of the region. Every region then becomes more alike rather than more distinct. If someone is looking for those flowers growing in Europe and they download the data and it is full of flowers from other regions? Think how that complicates their work. As far as the introductory text, I believe what is meant is to contribute European spottings to the global picture. I agree that the text should be changed and I shall suggest it. Thanks
Dear S.Frazier, according to the mission: "Flowers of Europe" Go search for some flowers! Take photos of the ones you come across and add notes to let us know more about where you found them.We want you to help us build a photo collection of flowers from around the world. Show us what flowers are blooming near you." So that't what I am doing too! And it's a global mission from what I can see :)

Hello. Organisms must be spotted in the region of any mission they are entered in. Please check your spottings. Thanks
