It could be even easier. You know these prize contests where they give you a flyer with a covered code like in a lottery ticket? Just send these directly to households or give them to people who show you their id.

Only when you enter that key you are from then on allowed to post on certain subforums.

This way you'd get anonymity and a fair certainty that the people taking part at least lived there at some moment in time (which IMO also entitles them to speak about local topics).

This could also be a good way to refresh keys periodically. And with the scratch-off lotto ticket idea, you could anonymously assign keys using QR codes, which would greatly improve the UX, AND mean you dont need to store any details of the person. Nice idea.
