I Like the New NEW Badge for New Users

@FreeSpirit1 Haha we need freshers! 🤭

@FreeSpirit1 BLOCK alert for me

@JesseInTX even so, it can take a while to get settled into a forum. Learning who's who, making a name for yourself and all that. I mean honestly though who remembers names unless they've seen the person several times?

@Elessar I want one for me that says, raggedy old worn out hoe bag

@Elessar wish they did more with the awards. Say like helpful poster.

Also not hide it. I do understand why hiding some of those "awards" yet not all of them. Like number of group awards or number of posts or number of replies.

A group creator moderator badge would be nice. That would indicate a long time user since there is a minimum "reputation" factor on group creation.

@Viper People post false stuff all the time, who knows why certain responses come under moderation though.

@HoeBag Yeah, but this is the first time I've seen an official "fact check" notification, so I thought maybe it's a new thing.

But the mods don't want users to hurt their website.

@Viper They have been using fact check for some time but it doesn't happen too often, I assume just if something is reported. Not real sure

@DoOverMan "Resurfaced" perhaps?

@helenS I'd prefer 👖 to keep it weird

@TexChik If they start up telling long drawn-out stories to elicit sympathy on their very first post it is a red flag to me. There are sadists that do that, as a I was warned on EP within a couple weeks of joining EP. They love to mess with compassionate people and embroil them in their sick game.

@nevergiveup till they’re broken in

@helenS About a month if I remember correctly.

@DeWayfarer ... which appears to be a reasonable period of time. Thank you 🌷

@Rutterman Of couple of days old I think.

@helenS I started seeing the labels immediately after I commented here. 😅

Yes, I like them too.

@Riverman2 My first thought too 😏

@helenS Beware lol.

@SW-User I added that as an option in my poll.

@helenS Thanks, much appreciated 😀

@SW-User Did you vote?

@helenS couldn’t possibly comment at this time. Lol

@HoeBag I talked with some, and it seemed legit.

@Barebum61 Me too! And i try to send my favorite tulip to every new member I encounter.
🌷 <== my favorite tulip

@HoeBag yeppers we are being invaded

@calicuz Exactly. I do the same. Some even sent me a pm after.

@Imsleepy They all seem to be young and good looking.

@JimboSaturn Usually 22-25 F 😏

@BackyardShaman What really surprised me was that there are in fact new users!

@helenS I know what you mean, it’s a way to gauge SW popularity.

@Glossy It's near the profile name, for a couple of weeks.

@itsok new new new 🤭

@Carissimi Don't know, but I've seen a "New" badge many times when users posted something, and i would assume it means it's a new user.

Hmm, I’ve not noticed any badges, but then maybe I just haven’t come across new users. @helenS

Just saw one. Yes, I like them. @helenS

@JohnOinger 🌷

@helenS did you find it on here

@JohnOinger No - I only got your user profile as a search result.

@helenS I only have friends in my feed so I don't even see new accounts.

@sarabee1995 Ah ok that's why!
I'm open to new experiences 😏

@helenS I am too ... with friends. ;)

@HoeBag A new user is provided with a unique user ID (a number); if you just change your profile name, that ID number will remain the same; I don't know how "alt" accounts coming from the same user are handled.

@Budwick Appeared a couple of days ago. Not we can see if a poster is a new member on SW or not.

@helenS I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
Could be easier than going to profile and scrolling through posts to see how old they get.

Thanks for the heads up!

@Snuffy1957 Easy: when I realize there's a new user, I will welcome her or him aboard the mothership, and usually I'll give them one of my precious welcome tulips.
🌷 <== my personal, unique welcome tulip

@SW-User trying to draw people in from other sites. Ironic hipster enough though, only fans seems to be using this page to try to draw members to their site

@Viper Oh! 😐

@SW-User I try to welcome every new user with my popular welcome tulip.
🌷 <== my welcome tulip

@FlowersInHerHair It's a green "NEW" badge which you can see in every new user profile. I was really pleasantly surprised to see how many new passengers a on board the mothership! 👍

@jshm2 Yours for the taking 😏

@TexChik Many of them are "18–21 F", which makes me wonder.

@helenS The lessons of EP say trust it as far as you can throw it !

@Darksideinthenight2 Does that mean you dislike the new feed algorithm? 🤭

@candycane Next to the profile name.

@helenS still not see it but it don't matter thanks anyway
