[Newbie scrutiny instead of jail] Every new user's first post: loyce.club/patrol

[BenCodie]

Hey, nice tool! I've had a scroll through and I noticed that some members who aren't actually posting for the first time are showing up...so it's a little hard to distinguish brand new members from members who aren't brand new. Adding the member rank, activity and/or post count at the time of the post could help distinguish this easily without visiting each post and checking.

For example, user BitDials has over 108 activity and this post showed up in entry 11 (at time of writing):
https://loyce.club/archive/posts/6172/61722610.html

It's not the first post from this user (far from it) but in the list you would not be able to tell in any way until you actually go and view the post.

That's intentional: every user who posts shows up once, because every user can be a spammer.

For example, user BitDials has over 108 activity and this post showed up in entry 11 (at time of writing):

That means he hasn't posted since I created this topic, and indeed, he just woke up from October 2020.

Correct. I'm just surprised how many old users are still waking up to make their first post in years.

I was reminded of this thread, so it deserves a bump. Unfortunately, it still nows most first posts aren't worth reading.
