Well said

Doesn't seem to affect my IBJJF registration, so... I mean, Globetrotters Camp was the only reason that I signed up for this profile on the first place. Considering this feedback, it really seems like more trouble than it's worth.

Like, literally, what do you guys want me to do?! I have a picture. I have my tournament history. I have my camp history. I have my gyms. I was verified by my original coach before moving and joining a gym now affiliated with Alliance. Literally, what do you want me to do? Force my coach to get on this platform so he can grant a verification? Unlikely.

Hi Phil. Do you have any better photos of you training, or perhaps getting belted up? Maybe someone snapped a picture of you rolling at a tournament? Those would be better than the single picture you have holding a medal.

Hey Phil, I think what people are saying is just to complete your profile on here and add some photos and stuff of your journey. That way it provides a timeline and more evidence of training during that time. One profile pic doesn't really mean anything and otherwise we have nothing to go on really. Unfortunately and nothing against you personally, but someone's word isn't enough as lots of people pretend to hold ranks they haven't earned and ruined the honor and trust system for the rest of us. Also, Beltchecker is by far the biggest community for consensus verifications, so I think it'd serve you in the long run to fill out your profile. I came here to vote for you, but I agree that there's not enough info. Anyway, just my two cents. Best of luck on your BJJ journey.

This is likely due to the fact that my gym is not active on this platform; however, all of the above can be verified on SmoothComp.
