- If colored belt is verified by 2-3 black belts with degrees it constitute a verified account. i.e. a brown belt gets votes with two 3rd degree verified black belts they should be considered verified
Yeah that’s pretty much exactly how it works now except just with a bit different number of belts than your suggestion.

please remove the notifications for any non direct relations to the person
What are these? You shouldn’t get any notifications that are not related to you

Also maybe give a notification that the voting history is going to be erased if "date" is changed? Something like a "confirm popup" are you sure this and that will happen if you change these settings.
This is on to do list :)

- RSS feed on header?
- Downvotes changed to an ignore button
- Photo reverification. You would be able to upload at least 3-5 photos to be approved. any other changes outside those three would require verification again

I have a couple forum suggestions --

* Automatically added to a private forum dependent on belt rank.
* If more than X users share the same affiliation -- maybe automatically creating a private forum for them as well

These features would be useful for keeping people on the site and for driving academies members to the site. The Affiliation feature would be useful for far spread out affiliation practitioners to have a private place to converse among their team.

This last suggestion might just be a tweak that might prevent trollish behavior in the future.

* Don't allow non-verified names/photos to post on the forums

This may already exist and I don't know where it is, but I feel the friend's list (or another page) should display their current verification status and if I have verified their account already.

I've flagged quite a few friends that have started the registration process that are in varying stages of identification. It's difficult keeping up with which ones I've verified without going through each one individually.

Currently the notifications system is kinda broken and hard to keep track of.

Suggestion: somehow separate verification system, forum and messaging notifications.

Automatic 101 points if you don't have bad cauliflower ear and are a black belt, because when your ears are inflamed you:

1) use head gear when your ears get inflamed

2) ice your ears when they get inflamed,

3) take NSAIDs as appropriate, with food, with medical approval (ie you are not a bleeder, don't have a stomach ulcer, etc), while they are inflamed,

4) don't sleep on your ears while they are inflamed,

5) tap early on your ears in training room rolls while they are inflamed,

6) and don't let your gym buddies who are not medical professionals drain your ears.

"Automatic 101 points if you don't have bad cauliflower ear"
I don't have bad cauliflower ears at all. Neither does Royler. He barely has any.
David Adiv has real bad cauliflower ear though.
Some guys get it, some don't.

David Gonzalez, you and Royler get an extra 101 points.

Royler actually gets 102 extra points, because, well, he is Royler.

Ruadhan >> Yeah I’m working on “system notifications” so you’ll get updates on your friends when they verify, are promoted etc (can see friendship as sort of a subscribe function)
Cool, that's what I was about to ask, but thought it might have been covered already. First thing I do when I log in here (which naturally I do several times a day, YAY FOR SOCIAL MEDIA) is scroll through my friends list and check if they're verified yet. Would save lots of time if I just got a notification saying when they are ready for voting.

I'm assuming when somebody I've voted on gets promoted that I also get a notification? As yeah, I'm viewing the Friends feature as like subscribing, similarly with voting for people. :D

Think about a way to reward active members after regular login on the platform? For example a verified profile active for several weeks?/month? would have a higher voting value.

For example white belts registered and active for a month on the site could vote +1 and not the regular 0.

Additionally, with the current point distribution, votes below brown are kind of worthless 0 points for all, 5 for blue, 25 for purple. Is there a reason why it is so steep?

The value of the votes are based on the exponential value of their belt rank and experience in Jiu Jitsu. I don't think it should be based on how much time they spend on a social media platform :)

The reason it is low is to roughly follow regular promotion standards, where lower belts can't promote anyone (except maybe a lonely purple belt can be ok to promote a blue belt). If it was higher, then technically it would be possible for a relatively small group of blue/purple belts to verify a black belt here, which I don't think should be the case. Right now it would take 200 blue belts and zero disputes to verify a black belt, which is pretty much impossible = as it should be :)

Can we turn this into an app?
Not in the near future, that is an enormous project. Busy enough building it as a website and you can use it just fine in a mobile browser for now, anyway :)

If this is to be used a BJJ memory machine for users, it would be nice to be able to post match videos to the actual matches on the profile competition history.

Thank you I really liked this idea, so I implemented it right away. Now possible to add YouTube ID to matches :)
