There's also the rep system influenced by years registered - the 'rep' system would make sense to be used here if you are talking about recognition, rep count raises one for every year here - so people like MissAlice as Gomme mentioned, low post count but higher rep power.
I think the 5+ year awards could be jazzed up a bit,
