We are much tougher than most sites for the criteria we use to promote members. There are three main variables we look at: (1) How long you've been a member, (2) How many times you visit the site, and (3) How often you comment.

Criteria #1: How long you've been a member

It takes one year to go from Otakuite to Senior Otaku and three years to go from Senior Otaku to Otaku Legend.

Criteria #2: How many times you visit the site

It's not enough just to be registered for a certain period of time. You also have to actually visit us on a regular basis. Someone who registered a year ago but visited a few times and never returned won't get promoted.

Criteria #3: How often do you comment

Comments are important because everyone on theOtaku values good feedback. We don't just look at the raw # of comments you make, but we also take into account other factors about the comments to prevent spamming.

We promote members once a month based on these criteria and publish the list of newly promoted members online for all to see.
