I haven't seen 1 and 2 or 5 at all, and I agree with the direction 3 goes and even think it's not enough at times.
But as for 4, I agree with you, I've seen that happen quite a lot .
What I don't like is that I feel the quality of posters and posts in general tends to go in waves. At a high point, resulting content is still of top notch quality, but the average and low points are both quite pathetic. Importantly, "aimless" qualify them quite well. Perhaps this is related to your comment about new people not understanding the site.
