I don't think they're given out too much at all. The people with multiple rows aren't given them, they buy them. If someone buys one rank from 10 people with one rank.. it doesn't mean they're given too readily.
Competitions/events do help the site.
If a good.. compromise can be met/a formula of sorts to implement the "racks" then it may be a good idea. Although something like "achievements" may be more interesting/exciting to obtain rather than just join date and post count. Like "post in X different sections" or "get to Y posts per day". After so many achievements a new rack is unlocked.
Probably not going to happen but it would be more exciting.
