I think in puzzles you should be able to set your own rating. Ratings are not competitive. Sometimes I might want to do 800 level puzzles, sometimes 2400. What I don't want is to always solve puzzles at 2200 all the time.
So why not allow us to set our own rating. Ultimately the rating will self adjust anyway.
