REMEMBER WHEN SOMEONE VOTES FOR YOUR PROFILE, THERE NAME AND REPUTATION IS FOREVER TIED TO YOU.

I agree with the general idea about about having a complete profile. But the above is not really true. A vote isn't permanent. For a start, they'll be reset upon promotion. But mainly because if somebody's credibility is questioned, you can remove a vote. A person is only tied to someone for as long as they choose to be.

This. No vote is permanent :)

nothing on the internet is never gone. others see what you voted for your reputation is still connected. some others will vote for someone based on what you say, so you are connected even though you may pull back a vote.

If you change a vote or remove a vote, people no longer see that you voted perviously. The idea is that people vote for others they know to hold a certain rank. Not blindly follow high rankers on the site. As I as said, I agree that people should create complete profiles. That make others want to vote. I simply disagreeing with the idea that a vote ties you together forever. The site is based around the opposite idea.

As I stated previously I respectfully disagrees. And that's ok. If people see my vote or anyone else's vote before its pulled back it is still seen. I know and have voted for someone based on a high reputable practitioner so my comment still stand. Once seen others may vote for someone base on a vote then if the original vote is pulled back, the other vote still stands based on the original vote. That is based on the original voters reputation. So you are tied together. This is my last comment.

That's cool. We are allowed to have different opinions. For me, the point of this site is to verify the rank of people you know. People shouldn't be verifying others because they see high ranking belts do it. That's a very shallow vote, although I am aware it is happening

Many people would be left unverified if everyone only voted for people they personally know, including you.

Well said, especially as people get higher in rank.

If you have been voted on please have enough manners to at least say thanks. Entitled people annoy me.

Lol

I agree. As a nobody purple belt, I appreciate anyone who has taken time out of their day to look at my profile and decide that it was worthy enough for their vote. For that, I think they deserve to be shown some gratitude.

Agreed. Respect and humility goes a lonmg way in my opinion.

Also, on a side note, I have noticed that some people go months without logging into this site. They may return to a number of votes and notifications for various other things. Personally, it doesn’t bother me if someone doesn’t comment on my vote. I am on here pretty much daily and it is simply my personal choice to thank everyone who votes for me.
