StackExchange is a Q\&A platform and consists of 174 communities \cite{stackexchangetour}. Each community evolves around a specific topic, for instance, StackOverflow focusing on software engeneering, or AskUbuntu focusing on the Ubuntu operating system. This distincts StackExchange from other Q\&A sites such as \emph{Yahoo! Answers} where no such differentiation into topics exists. %TODO ref

In August of 2018, the StackExchange team introduced a small change that may have had a huge impact on the platform. They added a new feature to visibly mark questions from new contributors, as part of their effort to make the site more welcoming for new users \cite{post2018come}. Specifically, members who want to answer a question created by a new contributor are shown a notification in the answer box that this question is from a new contributor. The StackExchange team hopes that this little change encourages members to be more friendly and forgiving toward new users.
