Two ideas are on the table:
1. Post count rank titles, a tradition of many fora. A couple of people have suggested this. My personal experience has been that they heap status on the posts of regular users in much the same way medals heap status on the chests of grizzled war veterans, which can have both negative and positive effects.
2. Location approximation. I know aaaaall of your IP addresses (obviously), and while posting them in full in public would just be rude, they could be approximated to the country level and included on the bar next to your posts. This is popularly done on 4chan's /pol/ and a number of politically-minded subreddits. Opinions?
