This not only prevents farming, but it makes sure the whole spectrum of players are forced together, meaning there would be greater distribution of knowledge and movesets, putting the whole community on equal footing.
The only problem I see is with queue time, if servers like this took off they would surely be crowded. I'm not sure how the TB servers work and how many rooms could be dedicated to this...

Ah sorry this has already been suggested in this very thread!

Rather than imposing a qi limit, you could split one mod into several rooms, and have qi limits on them.
Kinda like ranking in starcraft or league no?
It would mean any alt would simply steamroll through the lower rankings, thus not spending a significant amount of time noob bashing.

Or, and I don't know if this is possible, limit ranking to a single account per ip. Sure, this would not stop the more persistent ones, but it would help?

Which mods are considered suitable for 'ranking' could be left for the community to decide, or alternatively an initial lineup is deployed, which would allow feedback from the community.

Really this is a good idea and nearly everyone I've talked to has supported a new ranking system in one form or another, why is nothing done?

This is basically my idea but a much simpler, and since Toribash is pretty basic (and lazy) this actually looks achievable.

Maybe mods could be on a rotation thing for lobbys, so every 24 hours all rank lobby's mod changed. E.g

Mon: Lenshu3ng.tbm
Tue: ErthTKv2.tbm
Wed: AikidoBigDojo.tbm
Thur: Boxshu.tbm
Fri: Greykido.tbm
Sat: Rk-MMA.tbm
Sun: Boxshu_mushu_v2.tbm

Thing is, instead of QI restrictions for lobbys, it has ranked lobby restrictions. So you start at lobbys that have:
Lobby1: Rank 50,000 +
Lobby2: Rank 35,000 - 50,000
Lobby3: Rank 35,000 - 15,000
Lobby4: Rank 15,000 - 5,000
Lobby5: Rank 5,000 - 1,000
Lobby6: Rank 1000 - 250
Lobby7: Rank 250 - 1.

Since QI restrictions should also be in place to stop alts and in general, higher QI 'deserves' (kinda) a better rank. Lobbys 1 - 3 could be for all. Lobbys 4 -5 could be 1,000 QI plus. Lobby 6 could be 2,000 QI + and lobby 7 could be 3,000 QI +
