4The comments were overwhelming the answers. This conversation has been moved to chat.– Joe FriendCommented Aug 24, 2018 at 20:49

3We're going to be looking at quite a few things posted here, but we're not going to make many (if any) changes beyond bug fixes until we have established some base data. At that point, we'll try tweaking things. I'm now locking this post for comments, because they've been getting way out of hand.– user50049Commented Aug 27, 2018 at 13:50

Just popping in to note that the new user indicator does not count deleted posts. I posted in the Worldbuilding Meta sandbox, then deleted the answer per the rules. Many months later I asked a question, and the indicator showed up. Not sure if it's a problem or not; it's just not entirely accurate in that instance. Thought I would mention it in case it is of interest.– Thomas Reinstate Monica MyronCommented Nov 5, 2018 at 22:57

Does the new user see those indicators? It seems like their situation would be a bit more friendly if they didn't, but I am not sure.– wallykCommented Nov 7, 2018 at 19:32

2I took a look and added the indicator to the block list, alongside to the hot newtork questions, blog announcements, job ads and whatever dross you've put in the left sidebar.– baudspCommented Jan 7, 2019 at 15:33

"This indicator can speak for new contributors in a friendly way that the system itself reinforces" There are a few years of data now. Has this indicator has any impact on the rate at which new contributors explicitly say it anyway (which is noise that we're supposed to edit out of posts)?– Karl KnechtelCommented Jan 15, 2023 at 3:29

2@KarlKnechtel the OP here is no longer working for SE and has no way to answer your question. Try asking it as a new question, and there's a tiny chance current SE staff will notice it and reply. (They're very busy.)– Shadow WizardCommented Jan 15, 2023 at 10:07

1Ah, I hadn't actually looked at the name. It's really been more than two years now, wow.– Karl KnechtelCommented Jan 16, 2023 at 5:03

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
