To clear up confusion.

If you kill a blue while invading it counts as a kill

Getting killed in arena/invasions counts as a loss

Red sign summoning nets you no rank up

Invasions and duel wins are kept seperate, yet there are many reports of invasions now gaining rank at all

You cannot gain a negative rank (trust me, I failed alot in the beginning)

I cannot confirm all of this to an outside source, this is just what I know from playing
