Both tactics make people feel like fourth-class commenters.

Okay, to some extent I agree with you, but it is suggested by the Mod that your first post should be an introductory one in the new to the forum
section. I still think a first post that is a rant or complaint is ripe for being ignored because no one knows who the poster is or where he's coming from and therefore lacks credibility. A lot of them you never hear from again, so they aren't really interested in exchanging information.
There have been some really uber nasty first posts on this forum.
I still think the tree should be moved (trying to stay on topic).
