Where did the 'Completed, unverified profiles you haven't voted for' disappear from the front page? If I got bored, I used it to scout whether somebody confirmedably legit needed my points. 'People you may know' on the other hand is worthless: it's people who I DO know, and have also Friended + voted for on the site. :)
I just removed it during a performance analysis, found out that list alone took 4-5 seconds to load, which was a lot of stress on the server when everyone are on the front page all the time. For now, you can access the full list here instead: https://beltchecker.com/n[...]dvotes.php

A list of people you may know, who have verified IDs, but for whom you have not voted, would be pretty handy.

Yep: right now, I just guess by regularly clicking on people in my friends list to check on the ones who might have got İD verified recently. An automated 'friends with verified İD and unverified belt' would make that much more efficient, if it doesn't already exist. Or just 'friends with verified İD', that would help too. ;)

Yep. Although the premade filters of same academy, same affiliation, same city (same us state or within-20km would be fantastic) I feel would be more useful than being on friends list, which requires me to go find them in the first place.

Depends: I have a looooot of friends around the world thanks to all the camps, so friends list much more useful to me than some local filter. But yeah, I could see that being helpful too.

That’s what it *says* but not what it is though. At least I get people who have non verified ids and people I have already voted for.

That's strange; works for me. Can you post a screenshot of the profiles you see on the list and let me know which of them doesn't fit the filter?

Everyone on my 'you may know' page is either not yet ID verified, or else I have already voted for them.
Ah, I see why you read it wrong. It is because the top box is empty that you think it's a headline for the entire page. "Complete profiles you may know and have not voted for yet" is the title for only the top box. Notice how there are other titles for the other boxes :) So it does in fact work correctly.

For reference, see how mine looks:

I suggest we top out at the required points instead of earning any more.
It levels the playing field and this way folks can focus on either getting other verified or disputing questionable claims and taking part in the forums.

Not a bad idea in my opinion. As it would lessen the "popularity contest" nature of the site, that is off-putting to many potential newcomers.

There should still be the possibility to vote, as the comments & testimonials are a nice part of the system, but the point count could cut off at the required number (like LinkedIn connections cut off at 500, after which it's just "500+" ).

This would ofc then obviate the "Most trusted" lists in the stats page and the top-5 on the front page. Which is kinda the point too. :)
Perhaps Christian will be more open to the idea once Pedro Duarte dethrones him from the #1 spot. :D

Search by Location. I'm sure I know a bunch of legit Santa Cruz,CA jiujiteiros who I could be helping to verify (once I'm there myself), but a lot of folks I know by face, belt-level, and propensity to knee slice or whatever. Haha. A search by location could help create community. Or perhaps a forum for regions?

Donate button attached to PayPal so people can chip in to help defray site costs?

Or just list the donations PayPal email address?

I don't like to ask money for "nothing". I have a few ideas, though, to get a bit of money in to cover costs for server, etc. Here is one ;)

Maybe set it up so when you select black belt you are forced to enter all your previous belts before being open for voting.
This way the entitled types will be forced to play by the rules.

I think this has been suggested before, but some people (although rare) have actually skipped some colored belts, so the option to leave them out is there.

They don't get erased. When the voter reconfirm the vote, the prior comment is there in the comment field by default.
