StackExchange introduced a \emph{new contributor} indicator to all communities on $21^{st}$ of August in 2018 at 9 pm UTC \cite{post2018come}. This step is one of many StackExchange took to make the platform and its members more welcoming towards new users. This indicator is shown the potential answerers in the answer text box of a question flagged as from a new contributor as shown in figure \ref{newcontributor}. The indicator is added to a question if the question is the first contribution of a user or if the first contribution (question or answer) of the user was less than 7 days ago \cite{sonic2018what}. The indicator is then shown for 7 days from the creation date of the question. Note that the user can be registered for a long time and then post their first question and it is counted as a question from a new contributor. Also, if a user decides to delete all their contributions from the site and then creates a new question this question will have the \emph{new contributor} indicator attached. The sole deciding factor for the indicator is the date and time of the first non-deleted contribution and the 7-day window afterward.
