I can definitely do a rehab section.
I'm not so sure about splitting Strength & conditioning; the line between those two can be kind of blurry

Please let me know if these are existing features and I'm just not finding them. :) 1. Email notifications when you receive a new message 2. Ability to subscribe to an entire forum (rather than just a thread) for a private gym's forum Thank you!
I'm trying to minimize the number of emails we're sending out to people, as I hate email notifications myself hah But maybe it could be a setting that people could turn on
Subscriptions to an entire forum might be a bit tricky from a technical point of view
You just have to log in more often! haha :D

What about the possibility to remove all the auto-likes I wrongly put to my posts in forum when i just want to see who liked the post? I don't know if it happens just to me...

You don't have to be sure now. You are allowed to be sure later

It would be nice to add to the Stats area what people are training and which are use most, etc.
That way we can a also see the usage of new codes like Weight training, rehab, yoga.
If only 1% is using it, you can clean up codes later?

That could be interesting, especially during quarantine times to see what people engage in the most frequently.

yes there will of course be a substantial statistics area on training and attendance logs. I'm just waiting for the dataset to grow a bit first + have time to do it :) Right now pretty busy with other work.

While you're at it ... Can you add the Yoga option in training ? Or maybe change the option Stretching / Mobility to Stretching / Mobility / Yoga ?
Or you could just use the “other” option so we don’t end up with 30 different categories to choose from.

Just saw the facebook post and the new stats here. Very cool!

Yeah I would definitely just use stretching/mobility category for yoga :)

No definitely don’t wanna release a feature and then roll it back later and change the data entered by users :)

I was using the search feature to see who was registered and local to me, and noticed that I wasn't coming up in a search for Texas.
It turns out I had used TX in my profile for the "state" field.
It would be neat if the state field on the profile was a dropdown, in order to standardize the data across users -

The problem is that this is a global website and not just for the US, so we would have to have states for every country around the world, which doesn't really work unfortunately. Or at least, it would be a bigger project to build a feature like that :)

For sure .. I definitely understand that, it was just an observation - The state field would have to be conditionally visible and/or populated as a dropdown based on the country that was selected.

Yeah exactly. Maybe one day we'll get it done, it's on the list at least :)

Could it be worth allowing incomplete profiles to be voted on? For instance I have a student that has signed up but hasn't gone through name verification process. If I could vote on this person it may prompt them to complete their profile. They still couldn't become verified, nor could they vote on anyone. Just an idea.??
Absolutely not, sorry :D It would be a real mess if we can vote for profiles we have no idea are fake or not. Makes much more sense that they spend two minutes on that ID verification and get it over with.
We should not lower the data validation standards for the site just to accommodate people who are too lazy to contribute to it anyway ;)

I think there should be a small point requirement for whitebelt to. Just so we know every1 in her is actually training bjj and not just made a white belt profile.
Say 10-25 points some where. So a few blue belts or 1 purple belt is enough to confirm them.
I meet soooo many fake white belts so there should be a need for a few points to verify them to.
You're a white belt after you finished your first training and started the journey.
This will also include the white belts in to the workings of the page from the get go so they fully understand it before bluebelt

How on earth do you fake a white belt?? :D
I don't think it's really a problem if people who never trained create a white belt profile, to be honest :)

I see your point. I just personally belives it's better to have some point for the whites to. I think it will spice up the white belt profiles.
Well i talk to some1 and they tell me they train. Then I find out from others that this person never even trained bjj once. Then he is not a white belt. I am not a karate white belt. I got no belt. Same for bjj if you never trained at all.

Just doesn't seem like a good use of resources and time to worry about people who haven't trained saying they are a white belt.
It's kind of like trying to brag that you work at a fast food place. I don't think much is gained from doing so. If they go and compete without having ever trained they are still a white belt.

I agree. In my opinion, there is no urgent need to change our voting system to accommodate a few people who might make a profile without having trained, just so they can impress girls with their verified white belt :D

I guess if anyone really cared that fake white belt profiles exist then you always have the option to downvote

This. I’d love to the see first disputed white belt and a heated debate where he claims he’s taken a class once and people say they don’t believe him :D

I have seen people claim training in BJJ as a white belt that they did have.
And seen people claim to have stripes as a white belt they were not really awarded.
It is unwise to underestimate the depths of people's ridiculousness.
Then again, I have said it before, and I will say it again, rank belts, themselves are silly constructs, particularly for adults.

I've seen somewhere in Europe they did Gi tournaments like Nogi with just Gi beginner, interm, advanced.
That would be cool for smaller tournaments that don't have that many people signed up to just treat it like nogi and get more competition matches instead of having only 2 or 3 people in every division especially at the heavier weights.
For larger tournaments I kind of like the belts as your more likely to get a competitive match.
But I think in general just having white belts (beg), blue belts (interm) and purple - black (advanced) if less then 200 people in a tournament would be better overall. I can't stand how the majority of the time you only have 2 to 4 people in a division. Even if you win the division it doesn't feel like that much of an accomplishment.
8 people minimum per division would be great as you would have to at least have a winning record with 2 wins just to get a bronze instead of possibly losing 2 matches in a 3 person bracket and still getting a bronze...
I got a couple silver and bronze medals that I'm more proud of then some of my gold just because of how much more of a challenge the bracket was.
