Anyone else noticed this with NEW users

I have noticed that NEW users are not able to see all of the users on SW when they open their account. I am not sure why they are doing this.

When my friend started a new account I could see her but she couldn’t not interact with me.

I submitted a ticket and they told me this.


I have noticed this happening again with NEW accounts. All the legacy accounts (no NEW tag) can see the NEW accounts and we can comment on the posts but NEW accounts can’t see all of us.

I found this statement in regards to an algorithm in place to restrict contact between users.

I believe that they are doing this for NEW accounts. I have asked in another ticket but I was ignored.

Once the NEW tag is lifted that restriction seems to go away.

Now click on this post and tell me if you see my reply here because I posted the same thing on this post but no one can see it.

Some other users are having the same issue too.

@SW-User I commented on that post though. @DDonde reacted to that post and the OP can’t see it.

@SW-User Can you comment on that post? I want to see if I can see you.

@SW-User I think it’s an algorithm designed for the new accounts to have limited contact with people here

[quote] There are various algorithms in place on the site which may restrict contact between certain members as a protection measure, especially for minors.

This does not, however, mean that there is any problem with your profile or reputation.[/quote]

@iamonfire696 Neither of us are new accounts though. I just commented on thar post.

@SW-User I know, that’s not the point. I can see your reply on his so that means he will see it and he can interact with you.

He can’t see me or DDonde so he can’t interact with us because he’s got a NEW tag.

I haven’t figured out how the algorithm chooses who the NEW accounts can interact with.

As soon as the NEW tag expires then the account can interact with everyone.
