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.
You may also want to update who promoted you to brown belt.

Thank you! It must have deleted when I changed the dates.

I figured it would be better to update now while you were still low on points. It's also easier to get verified with a complete profile.

Sooooooooooo... what did we learn?

Stop being lazy and Input the correct information in the first place. We can understand you not having the correct day for that matter but not putting effort to have know your own info is exactly why this is made the way it is

Exactly 100% agree. If jiu-jitsu is all in the details to make a technique to work, then building a profile for a BJJ based site should be about the details as well.

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

Then I got upgraded to 2nd degree, and eventhough I got reverified, all my elaborate responses and subsequent banter was deleted into Beltchecker's Memory Hole.

So, the task of copy pasting over 50 "thankyous" into vote comment boxes was a bit too daunting.

Suppose:

After a user (e.g. Blue Belt) gets their 200 votes, would it help the anxiety of new users, to then have their vote rating display (e.g. XXX/200) turned off and have "Verified" instead?

And if the individual gets down-voted and their score drops below 200, then the display is displayed again?

Since having a higher number doesn't impact anything else?

It would be one way of doing it, but I’m honestly not sure this is actually a problem. If people want to chase points, I don’t see why they shouldn’t be able to play that game. It only helps create more activity and interaction on the site, which ultimately benefits adoption.

For those adults who gets anxious that other adults have more points than them on the internet, they can stop looking at the scores / high score list :)

This statement is quite the oxymoron. :D

I am trying to understand how I can get votes because most everyone I know or that knows me is not yet qualified. I got two votes from two black belts that I know and have trained with but I'm only at 220 points. I need 1000 to be fully verified but it seems I will be stuck here for a while. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Note to self don’t update your profile when you get stripes...
Of course you should update it when you get stripes. Changing the stripes alone will not require re-verification. But it looks like you might have changed the date as well, which is supposed to be just for the belt promotion, not for degrees. And that's why your profile is up for re-verification. So you should probably hurry up and change the date back to the real one, as you'll have to re-verify again.

Also for reference: https://beltchecker.com/f[...]db455bd01f

Okay, I have taken several people's advice and it seems to be working well. I took a lot of time to go back and research old photos and give them descriptions and post some really good ones but Im not sure why some of the descriptions are not saving on about half. Is this normal??

Okay guys I just read through all these threads to try and understand why my black k belt had to be re-verified and I think I figured it out. I read it closely and when I went to proceed I put in the actual date that my professor gave me the the stripe on my BB which was a few months after the 3 years of my promotion day. With that being said I thought I could put in those photos so they would always be there to see when J got each degree on my black belt. It then took me off of being certified which feels like getting a colored belt then being demoted back to whited belt lol. I am still trying to learn all the aspects of this platform but I think it's awesome and a great tool especially for bjj nerds like myself. Even though the system says that everybody that verified me the first time would be notified half of those people have not logged and and back in and verified me. I only need like 180 or so. Please help asap I want to get all of my students and training partners on here!!!!

Let's stick with the introduce yourself thread or we'll be spammed with "vote for me" posts
