Different color for new users

[antfarm]

Wouldn't it be great if a newly registered user's username had a different color (maybe green) for the first week or so, so that they can be immediatly recognized?

This could also help with AI generated threads that are just started to give a fresh account some credibility for later spamming or fraudulent behavior in the classifieds.

The issue I see with this is that anywhere a user name is present, it's also a link. Link colors are determined by CSS. I'm not sure if two links in the same set can have different colors. I don't know if the software is smart enough to understand "the profile that this link directs to is less than x days old, so the color of it's link should be y, but only for z days."

What if there was a new member badge, similar to the supporting member badge?

Or if the table (or whatever it's called) containing their post and user info was a different color.

The CSS .class selector selects elements with a specific class attribute value.

I think a feature like this would imply customizing parts of the whole stack, including backend, templates and probably caches. This could then lead to problems later when the forum software that TB uses is being updated from upstream.
