What are badges?

What are badges?
--------------------------------------------
You earn badges by doing various things on the site - contributing content, posting comments, or just plain old building up your anime and manga lists. For example, you can earn badges for watching several series in certain franchises and for adding loved and hated characters.

Some badges, such as 'member of the site for [x] years', are permanent. Others can be earned and lost.


What are all of the badges I can earn?
--------------------------------------------
You can see a full list of badges HERE. We're always working towards adding new badges. If you'd like to donate towards the cause (as the more funds we have from ad money and donations, the more we can add!) CLICK HERE TO DONATE.


Do these badges replace TACO?
--------------------------------------------
No! Badges will work in parallel with TACO on some issues. Coming soon, we'll have sets of special TACO badges that can be manually awarded to users by TACO moderators (and TACO moderators, you'll have a special moderator badge, too ^_^). You'll be able to trade in your TACO points for these badges. Not to mention, if you do things on the site like add reviews and earn badges, you can also get TACO points to trade in for more badges!
