There are many good ways to do a scoreboard. This just isn't one of them. Especially when - regardless of my feelings toward Valentin - everyone knows how ranks went on the official forums; it seems in poor judgment to have the leader of those accursed ever-squabbled-over ranks be in charge of the rank system here. The last thing this site needs is people fighting with each other over whose rank is and isn't correct...
As for how to fix it, I'd suggest implementing something realistic and fair that stops people from holding rank 1 without ever brawling once they achieve it. I don't really know what specifically, but the current system is destined for failure...
