I think that would be pretty awkward, since posts would start in the "C" range. I think most people here would consider getting a "C" bad. But tiers make for an interesting concept, if you move away from grades.

Use the fact that the date is also displayed to give a "?" instead for posts less than a day old, or have thresholds that move a bit for the first couple days.

Sure; the specific tier thresholds are secondary and might even be user-definable parameters, so people don't need to know what tier they're in on my screen, if knowing that would make them feel bad.
