RabidJohn 1,095 Posted March 25, 2020 I've just noticed I'm a komusubi, which I'm kind of delighted about, but at the same time I'm slightly disappointed that I don't know exactly when it happened. A notification would've been lovely. What's the criteria for promotion? I'm curious because I checked my profile and noticed I joined on 16.3.16, which made me wonder if it was a time served thing. Do I have a 'promotion history' stored somewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you scroll down to the very bottom of the screen, you see "Contact Us". If you send a message, I'm sure someone will let you know. I was just promoted from Makushita to Juryo. The magic number for me was 200 posts. One thing I AM curious about is how our "Total Reputation" is determined. Yours is 522, mine is 239. Your profile will tell you if yours is "excellent" or less than "excellent". (Mine is "excellent"). I don't want to ask how they decided that mine is "excellent" because they might realize their error and change it!! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote yokozuna ozeki sekiwake komusubi maegashira juryo makushita sandanme jonidan jonokuchi The arguably more tricky part was knowing/remembering that such a post was once made. (Also, I like quoting really old forum content for the added perspective of how long this place has been around. ) Edited March 25, 2020 by Asashosakari 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nantonoyama 214 Posted March 25, 2020 Uuuhhhh maegashira approaches! I have to prepare my talk for the interview "I aim at yokozuna", "I will focus on training", "I'll take basho after basho, not thinking about next promotion" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Click on the number and you'll get details. 171 likes, 57 thanks and 11 laughs make up your +239.

How does a person get a less than excellent reputation? Obviously, if they get reported all the time and are always stirring things up, I can certainly see where that could cause their reputation to go down. But what else affects it?
