I prefer it too, but not using it moves submission higher up the ranks, so people WILL use it to gain visibility over consistency/clarity. That is why i suggest a design that gives them no such incentive. This solution comes at a cost of slight offence to the artistic feelings of me and you, but i think it is acceptable. Not ideal, but life is full of compromises.

I am not sure the forum software allows for such capability. But at this point if somebody tags its post this way or !32S or ( 32s) oh, well it will be on top, but it will be clear we are dealing with a rank addict, let it be.

I think, ideally, the tag should be
a) separate from title
b) be selected from a predefined list
c) allow filter/sort by it with one click

For bonus points, there could be more than one tag per post.
Another bonus point, if the author does not assign tag (usually this means that author is unaware of a presence of tag feature), then anybody can assign it.
Those are all pipe dreams -- I do not see any provisions for tags in forum software.
