Brethren, Why, on this green earth, would you go through the trouble of completing a profile, without adding A SINGLE DAMN PICTURE of you with your instructor, OR EVEN DOING JIU JITSU, FOR THAT MATTER?!!!!11!!?1 You managed to stick around long enough to get someone crazy enough to promote your ass, but you can't get him/her on camera...

Part of the problem is the folks that vote for profiles that do not have anything on them and say such things like 'well documented' yet there is literally nothing other than the belt promotions and no photos etc. If everyone as a community refuses to vote until something more substantial is posted, it would make the system work better. My 2cents

You can comment on these votes too.

People who copy & paste their verifications... Well... They need a hug. Or a shot of vodka.

I could not agree more with this. What needs to happen is people having the guts to do whats right dispute these profiles that have no real documentation. Doesn't matter the belt rank either. We have a forum post about a fake blackbelt that went crazy, the same should happen with profile with no documentation. If you see the the big picture its the same thing.

If part of the community agree to require a certain amount of documentation, they are free to form a group who will downvote when this is not met. The higher the verified belt ranks in the group, the more weight they have to tilt the criteria of voting on the site. The system is designed in its core for exactly this to be possible. Or people can of course also just use the forum to shout 'someone should do something!' instead. The system is also designed for this :D :D As always, exciting to follow how the community is shaping the system with zero interference from creators or administrators. Beautiful <3

I hope everyone remembers that this is also a social experiment that Christian created. We are ants in a fishbowl and Christian is watching how we interact. I am sure he has some devious plan to take over the world ala Dr Moreau. Keep an eye out. LOL

Can confirm.

I kept looking at the photo of you grilling fish on that beautiful outdoor patio/deck and all I could think was, 'I hate my life.' LOL!

It was all just a distraction, in reality I was sitting on the toilet and keeping an eye on all your movements on the site, directly in the beltchecker database.

BOURBON PLEASE!

I dunno, my instructor is always scowly in pictures. As Cordelia would say, 'It's not that [jiu-jitsu coaches] don't photograph; it's that they don't photograph *well*.'

So the best recommendation i have is to make sure you get your pictures on promotion day. Hahahaha

Nah he pretty much scowls then, too. Here he is promoting my son a few days ago:

Just uploaded this selfie of myself and my instructor, Master Youtube to my profile. Now I just sit back, relax, and watch the votes pile up.
