I go trough the "profiles needing more votes" to help out, but after looking at 10 profiles I still found no profile even close to ready to deserve a vote.
Kinda bad that this section is overfilled with bad profiles with zero effort in to them.
Another thing I see is profile with no evidence maybe max a picture of the person wearing a belt and that's it and then someone has voted yes and write something along the lines of "I do not know him personally, but there seem to be enough evidence proving rank". I have to say a I see sone people give these votes on allot of these unfinished profiles. So I wonder what do they think this page is for. How can you approve someones rank when you don't know them and there is no evidence, no confirmarion from promoting instruktor, no nothing. I really do not get it.

To be fair if you get on to this as I did late in the game there’s a LOT to put into the system. I’m trying to get my black belt verified so putting in everything since white belt is a lot of time. Also, you’re fortunate that your instructor is also on this. My instructor doesn’t use this and neither do a lot of the people where I’m from in Hong Kong. This is why it’s important for senior colour belts such as yourself to help others to get verified coz you know the red flags etc. Last night someone reached out to me to say they’d vote for me as soon as my profile pic was verified by the admins. So this kind of help goes a long way. Ossu.
