To my mind you will only provide a WAY to discriminate a fake ichimunki from the real one
( if you're the real one ;-)
But will people WANT to check if it's the real ichimunki by looking for your sign in the post ?
Will they ever KNOW that you always sign your post ?

If I go on betterperlmonks.org (sorry for the blasphem vroom)
create an ichimunki account and start posting crap,
any betterperlmonks.org user that will see your signed posts here on perlmonks will think :
'why is he signing his post ?'
and maybe 'hey his posts seem to improve'
but they will more likely think 'oh no ! ichimunki is posting crap here too...'

Now for a purely technical aspect :
I don't think that the average 'joe' knows how to use PGP,
(I'm not even talking about GPG...)
And I don't think that those who knows will make the effort to try to get your public key (where ?)
to verify your sign post (why ?)...
