Just for clarity, difficulty ranks of kata are not decided by authors. They are suggested by authors, then they are voted by users who decide to solve kata in beta stage: https://docs.codewars.com/curation/kata#difficulty-rating-vote . Users are greatly encouraged to participate in beta process, so they can vote for difficulty, and their votes will be taken into account when assigning the final rank during approval.

Does anybody else feel there should be some kind of system or standard in place for rating the kata? I'm pretty sure the people who create the kata determine the rating and that makes it WAY too arbitrary. You can easily get through some level 7 kata in a few minutes while others can take a ton of time.
a. There should be some kind of standardization, not just based on the whims of the kata creators
b. Easier level kata should not include niche content outside of programming/programming language, having heavy math, biology, physics, etc content on 7/8 just seems ridiculous in terms of allowing beginners to focus on the primary purpose of this platform which is coding practice.
Admins should be able to easily create an AI model these days that will provide a more standardized rating.
I want to upload two different level 8 Kata to show how insanely vast the difficulty range is within a certain rating:
Easy level 8 Kata (Not that I think all level 8 need to be THIS easy, but close):
https://www.codewars.com/kata/5748838ce2fab90b86001b1a
Level 8 Kata with Classes and error raising:
https://www.codewars.com/kata/568018a64f35f0c613000054
These may both be easy for experienced programmers, but that's honestly not who level 8 Kata are designed for, so the ratings shouldn't be set from the standpoint of an experienced programmer.
PLEASE standardize the rating system.
