I like Prince's idea. But in my opinion, maybe something even further apart from the basic tiers could be implemented for those supremely powered, very well thought out shinobi on the site.

For example,

S-rank could be used for the usual; high level, viciously powerful and skilled opponents. The Akatsuki, the Sannin, the Kage and etc.

SS-rank could denote, obviously, individuals with power exceeding the previously mentioned ones. I'd say, the Rinnegan wielders, Naruto/Sasuke post Six Paths augmentation.

Anything beyond this, an SSS-rank could be considered Godly, Madara the Sage/Kaguya in canon, for example. These characters would be beyond all normal definitions of "powerful" and could literally ravage villages/countries singlehandedly, I dunno, you get my drift.

This is just my perspective on the whole rating take. To be honest, I don't really mind whatever happens either way, but the idea of classification is an intriguing one to me. I do agree that S, SS and SSS might sound pretty gay, but it's just a "rough sketch", as you may call it. The main idea is simply to subject S-ranked shinobi to further classification.
