I mean, I think it'd be even better if the community could come up with something we all agree on.
Maybe not "ranks", but if not, then "descriptors" of some sort. If soloer #1 has to say "I soloed Froggy with three widgets, four whatzits, 17.5 wort potions, and here's my list of eighteen buffs ...", it's not as easy to share that solo, or compare it with other people's solos.
But if you can say "I soloed Froggy self-buffed, with no potions and weak clickies", everything is just a bit simpler. And I do think the community can agree on a set of "classifications", because the old ranks were halfway there already.
Plus, with that approach you remove the "you get X solo points for not having Y" element from things, which removes a lot of the need for flame wars. People just need to have objective conversations about which things make sense to be grouped together.

There weren't any flame wars for the years the ranks were on the wiki. Two trolls defaced the wiki, and you are deleting rankings for everyone instead of doing your job and punishing rule breakers.
The problem isn't the rankings. The problem is you can't admit you are wrong, and are coming up with the worst solution for everybody to cover that up.
