If I could see without going to their profile that they'd been on the site less than (say) a year and had/hadn't taken the tour, it would definitely help. How about this: Put the "Member for" thing in the expanded user card when you hover their picture. | |
| Aug 13, 2021 at 7:34 | comment | added | T.J. Crowder | @BernhardBarker - Good thought. That combined with telling me whether they have the Informed badge would definitely be useful. But I wouldn't say account age stops being useful after a period of time. If I think someone needs some nudging (say, they post a picture of code) and I check their profile (for account age) and see they've been on for 10 years with 20 0-rated questions, I factor that into the comment as well (still to keep it friendly and non-sarky). But your... | |
| Aug 12, 2021 at 20:22 | comment | added | Bernhard Barker | @T.J.Crowder So would you say account age stops being useful when they're no longer "new" (after say a few days, or some other period of time) and it would actually serve you better if the "new contributor" banner were more "reliable" (and possibly more specific, like if it said e.g. "member for x days" instead)? | |

Asking for privacy when such privacy affords culprits of serial voting , vandalism, etc., amounts to permitting perhaps toxic behavior and protection from detection for such users. | |
| Aug 6, 2021 at 9:11 | comment | added | T.J. Crowder | I use this information a lot to tailor comments on questions to newbies ("new contributor" isn't reliable) and returners.¹ It used to be one shift+click away. Now it's shift+click, click, click, go searching through list of accounts. Not a good change. @Aaron, please put it back on the profile. (¹ Why? "Welcome to SO!" is literally welcoming to a new person, but snark to someone who isn't new.) | |
| Aug 5, 2021 at 23:47 | comment | added | Kevin B | Right, you can't see it on other users' profiles. that's ridiculous. | |
| Aug 5, 2021 at 23:44 | comment | added | Kevin B | Seems to be there for me? edit: Ah, only on my own profile. | |
| Aug 5, 2021 at 22:59 | comment | added | John Omielan | Also, as Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog's comment to my answer states, and I've confirmed myself, you can still also see how long ago a user joined any particular site in that user's network profile. | |
