why almost no one votes on my profile when it is already complete?

why almost no one votes on my profile when it is already complete?

my name doesn’t pop up on the page where it says “profiles needing more verification”. Just double checking if I’m missing anything. Thanks for any info on this.

Giving my opinion on how people can get votes is against the rules ?? I never asked anybody to vote? All I did was say what I do to get votes . I tell people to check out my profile for themselves . And I wasn’t referring to users on this website I’m referring to actual people that I train with and know in the Ohio area. By the way being a 1%er I don’t really follow rules.

This does not belong on here.

I am from a very small area in Eastern KY and none of my coaches use this website. I am currently trying to get verified and to get enough students to sign up to start an academy page. I need to get some more pictures of my certificates on here I didn't even think about doing that, but I do have pictures with Carlson Gracie Jr. (who gave me my belt) and a few other high ranking people I train with. All my guys complain about how much work it takes to set up a profile and I always tell them getting belts isn't easy so this really shouldn't be easy either. You don't want just anyone to be able to sign up as a black belt or brown belt.

Hi everyone! I would love for you to check out my profile and vote for me so I can claim my academy and get my students going on here. I opened 2 days before Covid shut down the world and we are still cranking along. Any help getting me up and going on here will be greatly appreciated!

#1. DON'T GO ON FORUM THREADS AND ASK FOR VOTES IT'S AGAINST THE RULES! I frequently go through profiles. With that being said here is my advice if you're not getting your profile being voted on. Give others a reason to vote for you. Always remember when someone votes for you their name and reputation is tied to you, even if they retract there vote. Others see your vote and may or may not vote for you based on that. 1. Make sure that at each belt, you post pictures of certificate of Promotion if available, and or picture of you instructor changing belt. You can post three pictures at each belt. (Belt History) 2. Post pictures of you training in your profile gallery. 3. If you compete fill in your competition history, and medals. 4. If you have competition video post it up. 5. Add your social media links to you profile. So others can see that you put in the time on the mat. 6. Respect that someone took the time to look at your profile and verify you. SAY THANK YOU. All of these will give others a reason to vote for you. REMEMBER IF LEARNING JIU-JITSU IS ABOUT THE DETAILS, SO SHOULDN'T SETTING UP YOUR PROFILE ON A JIU-JITSU BASED WEBSITE. Here is a video to explain how to properly setup you profile to give you the best chances of being verified quickly https://youtu.be/eVvt7SkvxZI hope this helps.

Hopefully this is the right spot for this. But I've filled out my profile just about everything there is and only at 60% is that because my belt hasn't been verified or am I missing something key I don't know about?

...... am I missing something key I don't know about?

I recommend to read the FAQ as well but now it's just time until you get confirmatory votes from the community.

Just like in BJJ, patience is the key

i have an idea so people can get more votes and be verify. For example, I just got promoted to Blue Belt 2 days ago. I updated my rank but isn't verify because people hasn't approve of it. But how are people going to approve me if nobody knows I just got promoted. There should be a way people update their ranks and immediately a Box shows Congratulations to these people that got promoted. So that way others can see who has claimed a promotion and can check them and confirmed them. Right now there is a Box of NEW Approve promotions. But you cannot see people like me that is waiting to be verified and approved. I hope i'm clear in my suggestion.
