I don't believe at this time it will do that.. you might want to open a new forum post and ask.

I agree with what's posted.. when I started jiujitsu, my instructors didnt give certificates or take pictures, Prof Westley who I trained and received my promotions through years after I started training , lived and trained in Brazil after leaving the Army...When he moved back to the states he opened a small school, I was stationed at Cannon AFB in NM at the time... the 1 Certificate i got from him I helped him make... I believe 3 of us received certificates.. After a few years i recieved my purple belt after 2 weeks of 1 on 1 training with him every day 2hrs at lunch then regular training during the week. No pictures no fan fair I was walking out of the door and he told me to hold on and presented me with his old purple belt which I still have today.... I was promoted to Brown belt a few years later, was the same he announced it on fb from Brazil.... all I'm saying is for some it's not that cut and dry..but I have the contact information for my instructors and his instructor for verification. My instructor ran into some hard times and closed up his schools..he is working and spending time with his fam, not sure he teaches right now he is in England with his wife and 2 kids...his instructor is Jefferson Vilhena, Equipe Vilhena he is a 4th degree certified by the IBJJF.. I just spoke with him 2 days ago via fb messenger to see how he was doing.

But you are doing to best you can to show proof of rank, thats the important part. Some people build their profile show absolutely no proof, no pictures, no certs nothing and expert people to vote for them especially at upper belts. You showed pictures and documents proving rank.

Basically takes very little time To get verified if your profile done correctly with the proper documentation and photos or even videos. Registered 5 days ago got verified today and basically I don’t know anyone here personally so far... found one student only with a verified profile didn’t know he was here (hasn’t voted for me yet Haha

Exactly.... if the profile is solid and the social media backs up everything the vote is usually pretty quick. If someone finds they are not being verified it's usually lack of evidence on the profile. Only takes a little time to get all the back up info posted.
I saw your student on here and checked out his profile. You confirmed so I gave him the points.

I can't imagine that (synchrization or unnecessary wins by walkover, etc.) :(

Just checking out some profiles from friend requests I've received. (3x)
Quick tip: I or anyone verifying should not have to do the work to verify anyone's profile. That's your job.
The information should be clear, concise and easily verifiable, either through photos, social media, ibjjf, jjgf and or academy websites.
I enjoy looking at profiles, clicking the links provided and voting accordingly so if I have not voted for you, your profile is lacking.

I never thought of taking pictures over the years I just wanted to train..the military gave me the opportunity to travel and train with alot of great people. the few pictures I have someone else took them for themselves.. lol No complaints..I hear you guys though those things do make it easier for sure.

In that case social media and websites would be best. Also maybe have your promoting professor(s) register here so they can confirm on your profile. That works well. Usually when you see that on a profile it makes the voting very easy.
What branch were you in?

I actually did tell him.. I'm not sure he will.. I'm not trying to pit his personal business out the.. he is a great friend of mine who ran into some hard times.. he moved back to brazil, then to England for a job.. and that's where he is with family.. Anathema BJJ was our school..

Thanks for your service. I was Air Force too.
Only did 14 years and then got an early out back in 2000 when I was getting married and moving up here to Canada.
My last duty station was Andrews AFB now Joint Base Andrews with the 1st Helicopter Sq.

Simply being online here can be helpful too. Whenever I log in I always check to see who else is on and look their profiles if they aren’t people I’m familiar with. If we are online at the same time and you have sufficient documentation, that’s an easy 20 points.

My aunt and uncle were both colonels at the Pentagon. Not sure if she would have been there at the same time as you. She was there on 9-11. They are retired now.
My father was Air Force, flew C-130s and C-141s. Was stationed at Elmendorf and McChord mostly.

Yes, I believe they were retired by then! I was always proud of my aunt though. The Air Force brat life was fun while it lasted.
Nice to meet you!

I lost a lot of votes because I was still setting up my profile and get more accurate dates, shouldn’t be penalized for changing the default dates.

It will notify everyone that previously vouched for you and we just have to reapprove the votes. Same when a person gets a promotional change

I disagree and I’m sure Christian will too. Those who verified you should have the option to choose to continue to verify you after you’ve made changes as we voted based off old information.

You absolutely should. Imagine your profile say you've been a black belt for one year and get verified. Then you change the date so you've been a black belt for 8 years. If people did not have to reverify that, then you could just qualify yourself to a fake 2nd degree black belt :)
