I'm sorry that this might be the wrong place to ask, but why is sbochins's name coloured green? Is it because I've upvoted him a lot - or he me? How does it l

  It's a new account. (think "Oh, he's green at that")

    Ah, I see. I thought it was a reference to the red-green colour metaphor of + and -, friend and foe, and so forth.

  Should we be drawing more or less attention to newcomers? The green is more obvious than the default gray.
  • kmfrk 16y ago
    I think it's ironic to draw attention to newcomers' submissions - and it might be something that malefactors would look into gaming. On the other hand, the point of such features has always been to emulate the "I'm new in traffic - cut me some slack and keep an extra eye out for me" bumper sticker. And this outweighs the con, to me. But it's something that's only been done on forums - bulletin boards if you will. As old as it seems, it looks like a novel approach by pg in the comments site medium.

  Have been a long time reader, just signed up a few days ago. Was wondering what the green meant at first too.
