I think difference between 1600 to 1800+ is too much to be in the same rank.

Silence 2 second for beginners cause range of newbie (0-1199).

    There are very few people who score below 500, so I object to your statement.

      Still the range of (500 to 1199) isn't easy for an average beginner.

        It is surprising because before the visible rating feature was implemented, having rating below 800 or so was kinda rare. I guess more people made alts back then when they dropped below a certain point?

EXPERT << EXPERT CANDIDATE << CANDIDATE MASTER

Interesting suggestion, but, I don't think that it would be a good idea. In my opinion, the current distribution is quite appropriate.

Div. 3 contests are pretty easy for Expert and above, whereas, Div. 1 contests are barely doable for Expert and below. Dividing 1600-1900 into two ranges would only distinguish between "Unstable Expert" and "Unstable Candidate Master", but these distinctions probably exist in every range/rank (maybe less so in International Master).

International Master also seems like a fair distinction as it's a mark about 99 percentile (reference) so it's a way of saying 99 but not yet Red. Doing that for 90 makes less sense to me. Not zero sense, but just, I'd like to push for Candidate Master, not International Expert.
