All new Mojis submitted to Mojizu are first classified as fresh and are displayed in the Fresh section of the site.

Members then have the opportunity to rate each fresh Moji. Once a Moji has been in fresh for at least 7 days, it is eligible to move to the Hot section. Every Monday, at 10:00 am. (PST) to be exact, the 32 most popular Mojis are moved from the Fresh section to the Hot section.

Popularity is determined as the evenly weighted average of the number of ratings the Moji received and its average rating. So to succeed, a Moji needs to get both a lot of votes and have a high average rating.

If a Moji does not move from the Fresh section to the Hot section within 28 days of being approved, it is automatically moved into the general gallery.

Hot Mojis are displayed in the Hot section. Once a Moji is moved to the hot section, members can vote on it again for a second time, and in addition, the votes that the Moji earned in the Fresh section will carry forward.

Each week the most popular 16 Mojis in the hot section are moved into the Moji War. Popularity is defined the same way as in the Fresh section (see above). Mojis are eligible for the War after 7 days in Hot. If, after 21 days, the Moji does not make the War, it is moved to the general gallery.

This icon represents all hot mojis. Usually found in the MojiViewer.

Each week, at 4 p.m. on Monday (PST), the top 16 Mojis, again based on popularity, are moved into the War. The 16 Moji’s are randomly matched into 8 battles. During the next 7 days, members vote for the Moji that they prefer in each battle. At the end of the week, the winning Moji from each battle moves forward into the next round, where it is matched with another winner.

There are 4 rounds, the 4th being the final Super Match to see who will be Grand Champ. MojiWar is an ongoing competition, every week a new Grand Champ is selected and 16 new Mojis are moved into Battle Round 1.
