yay! youre getting there. well the ranks are signs of loyalty to theotaku. the most loyals are the otaku legends who been here for some time and have contributed alot. ranks indicate how long youve been on here or how much you have achieved. a benifit would be: when you get Otakuite++ your submission work doesnt have to be reviewed by someone else and it gets immediateley published. at least thats what happened to me.
