I’ve seen what happens on forums which provide such indicators

Never mind other forums, we occasionally have that issue right here. It is bad enough that there are folks out there who will upvote or down vote nodes based on personality. Don't create a new target!

Also, in a slightly different view: There are newbies out there (and not so newbies) that think "oh.. they are a Priest! They've got to know what they are talking about" or worse yet the opposite of that thought process and fail to think for themselves.

And I have one more objection to colorizing ranks: Depending on what CSS settings someone has there could be issues where whatever color was chosen could "clash" with the CSS color settings creating an eyesore or rendering the information unreadable.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
