Describe the feature you'd like

It could be helpful for mods to identify potential trolls or spam accounts to have a visual indicator for posts or comments made by new accounts (e.g., accounts created within the last 7 days). This could be achieved by displaying a small badge or icon next to the username, such as the 🌱 seedling emoji or another appropriate symbol:

🌱 Seedling emoji

☘️ Shamrock emoji

🍀 Four-leaf clover emoji

🔰 Japanese symbol for "beginner"

💚:Green heart emoji

This is the one used on Discord:

This feature would help users quickly identify and contextualize contributions from brand new accounts, which may be valuable information when evaluating posts or comments.

Alternatively

Alternatively the badge could be like this where besides the emoji it says something like "new account" or "new user".

This seems to be a highly liked feature from the Voyager app.

I think it sounds like a really good idea.

This is urgently needed for the upcoming elections.
