Best forum I've seen for 'status' is probably BikeChatForums which runs a karma system, so you can rate posts as being funny, interesting, informative etc if positive and also negatively for flaming, swearing, spam etc. The system itself also rates and rewards good grammar and penalises you for swearing.
Its not perfect, and maybe not even needed, but it does at least give an indication of post quality rather than just quantity.
