I'm seeing green usernames for submissions and comments by new users (not sure exactly what the threshold for "newness" is, the person I saw created their account in the past hour)
- Natsu 16y agoDid they stop doing that already, or are we being A/B tested?
- ElliotH 16y agoStill happening as far as I can see. Try /newest - there's more green showing there.
- Sandman 16y agoAs I can see, every user with a submission on /noobstories is green, so that's probably the threshold. Edit: On further inspection, it appears I'm wrong, there are users there who are not green. The newest users I could find that are not green created their accounts 6 days ago. Users who created their accounts 4 days ago are green. I haven't had any luck in finding users who created their accounts exactly 5 days ago. So the threshold is either 5 or 6 days.
- arondeparon 16y agoI think using green usernames for 'noobstories' is wrong. Green is usually linked to positive behaviour, earned reputation/karma or a special (empowered) user status; not for indicating that a user is new.
- brudgers 16y agoGreen is also used to connotate inexperience or lack of maturity, e.g. greenhorn, green lumber.
