Should there be a ranking system for hobbyist?

I have a couple of family members who are "Masons", what kind of group that it I don't know...My dad always told me that there are "Masons" all over the world like a secret society...What got me was there were different levels and ranks of each members...And no matter where you go you'll be accepted as long as you know the secret language...
My point is, should there be a ranking system in a club to push each member to the next level? I am not say everyone can be a "Judge", but to keep the brain fresh with new knowledge...
Also another point, most of the people on this thread some how "Hit the wall", understandable I feel the same way too, the only way I feel more useful is to spread what knowledge I have to my friends. I have been in this hobby almost 9yrs now and damn to think I got in this hobby when I was 22years old. Finally went to Japan last Sept. wow what a koi career..Well anyways, would a "Koi Show" prevent the "Hit the wall" syndrome for most members?
