@JonH, Yup, waiting for that. You can notice that it's got 450+ upvotes, because everyone is waiting for that instead of these minor changes... :)

FWIW, the extra bit of the signature block will show up to the post's owner too - so it ain't like we're putting some secret mark on their backs. Also... This isn't just for questions; it's possible to end up in a scenario where both the asker and answerer are "new users" and see complementary instructions when interacting...

"The established users now know that a certain poster is a new user", how is that new? I see their reputation being 1 (or even <100) and I know they are new users.

@Camilo Exactly! That's the pointless part about the new feature mentioned in the question which we all are debating about, you can totally (and should) add that as a separate answer.
