If people are using the forum for this purpose, then they are doing exactly what you don't want - segregating by rank.
I'll ask again, why are these inconsistent, clunky, methods preferable to actually adding it as a simple game option? You're splitting players into an additional two groups - those who know about and are willing to go through extra steps to play fewer games against a smaller pool of players, and those who don't know (or don't want to use) those methods and play fewer games against a smaller pool of players. You're segregating things into even more groups this way, and I thought that is what you are trying to avoid?
Segregation IS occurring already - do a few speed searches throughout the day to verify this. Adding these options actually adds MORE games back into game finder, and if the selectable ranges are set appropriately large enough, LESS segregation would occur. Let me repeat - LESS segregation would occur. This is in addition to the other benefits I listed.
If the goal is to reduce segregation, please think about how to end this secret password, search the forum, process that is currently segregating players.
Thanks for responding. I think this is a discussion worth having.

OP is using flawed logic
By making it easy to set rank limits MORE rank segregation will result. The inherent laziness of human nature insures that the create private games option(premiums only) is used by few people. This helps to ward off rank segregation for the most part.

If it's been rejected to prevent segregation then the fact that segregation is now actively, consistently, occurring should at least revive the discussion. Or was there another rationale for rejecting it?

Specifics:When joining an existing game I can avoid games with those whom others have rated poorly, which is the intention of the rating system.
When you create a game you cant stop these twits from joining it.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:This will provide some incentive to behave in a civil manner if they cannot join games because people dont want to play with them

Considering how poor the rating system is and how different people use it I don't think making a block based upon it is a good idea at all. Would also need to start moderating the ratings to prevent abuse and that I can't see happening.
