This seems unlikely to be the explanation to me. Voters on the forum frequently give very high karma to highly critical and disgruntled top level posts (indeed, I think it is actually easier to get karma writing such posts than more positive ones). I think the true explanation is probably that going from vague complaints to concrete suggestions makes them much easier to critique and see the problems.
