There is no easy way to clarify that an answer or question is or is not a rant. Often a rant will not be deleted merely because the majority of the users in the area agree with it! How do you define a rant? It's easier to classify an insult, don't you think?
 
I am always suspicious that a question is a rant when more information is being provided about the persons position rather than to clarify their question.
 
I would say look at the question.

Then look at the details, Does it look like the questioner is providing a large quantity (several paragraphs) of in depth, *ONE SIDED* supporting arguments in a way that it seem like they have already determined the answer and will not be swayed, but rather are intending to sway others to their point of view?

This is likely a rant.
