Hmm, I still don‘ t understand this badge.
Sometimes it happened if somebody even is not completely verified (f.o. missing votes).🧐
But maybe that is the main point:
A complete arbitrariness and an element of maximum intransparence in this total world of transparency!☝🏼😂
And it has an effect:
It triggers to study some profiles more intensively.🤔

The badge is awarded to those whose profiles are complete and very detailed. Photos at every belt section, certificates and vids etc.
The votes or verification status is irrelevant. It's about details in the profile.

Someone can have received the badge and then be promoted so they start over with their points and are not re-verified yet.

I always suspected it was kinda like a belt. If you ask for it, you won’t get it 😄

I have gone beyond what is expected on my profile, however, it is a good example of a complete profile. As I am from Africa, I was forced to be more diligent at completing my profile as a one of my coaches were not known elsewhere other than in Africa. Enjoy!

Good profile dude. I left a vote when I was in there looking at it. I guess I got to have a look and see what I can improve on my profile.
Would like to have some competition pictures for purple belt, bit that's not happening in a while because of injuries.

Not my intent to fish for a vote, however, I appreciate same. The changes to your profile are looking. Keep on adding to your story. Kind regards.

Everyone should be diligent regardless of where they are from. I don't believe You were diligent because of where you are from, you would be diligent anyways. My belief is if jiu-jitsu is about the details, you jiu-jitsu profile should be too.

If you've received the "Moderators Badge Of Excellence" it would be listed on your profile achievement list.

I was forced to be diligent as nobody in Canada knew my coach in Africa. In other words, I was not diligent due to my origin as you have presented; I was diligent due to an unknown coach.

This is because you have the "Profile manually reviewed & certificate issued" badge, not "Moderators badge of excellence" 🙂

An update from Johan is basically just as good considering his stringent standards :p

What means that someone who trains in a world without certificates (except the beltchecker -certificate itself) and don‘ t wants to support youtube (like me i.e. ) will never have a chance to convince the mods?!
So sad….🥺
But ☝🏼…. I have Johans vote!💪🏼🤓

For the exceptionally well documented and well filled out profiles, the moderators can now grant a badge of excellence :) Profiles with badge will have it displayed on their profile picture as well as in achievements list. I'll also build a list of users with the badge, probably on the front page. I think it can be a good little extra incentive to fill out profiles well and also gives us easy access to browse through the best profiles on the site. I am personally staying out of the awarding process, but leaving it up to the moderators. FYI, their standards are exceptionally high :D
I’ll be waiting for mine then. [sends the check]

….aaaaand suddenly „abracadabra“….the badge of excellence happened to me.
-I am blessed having Johans vote AND now the badge.
Thanks to the mods by the way:
You blew away that dark clouds of sadness!🙏🏻😇

Would be nice to know what the threshold for this badge is, since it seems that some rather exceptionally detailed profiles have yet to get it and some others that are a bit more sparse have.
It will forever be shrouded in mystery. It's like a belt promotion; if you ask for it, you won't get it 😂

Is there a way to request mod review? I believe I have a pretty solid profile, but I am always open to suggested improvements.
