First post reminder

The first post icon (1 next to the posters name) is great, but what I would like is a warning when the poster is posting their first post (that they can see) that will remind them that everyone will know that it is their first post and that they don't need to mention it.

  • Okay, where is that +1 button. Despite it already being said in the Wiki:

    For first time posters, one thing to avoid is, telling the community that you are new and asking them to take it easy on you. A number of people have tried this as their opener and it does not go down well.

    An addition reminder at the time of an initial post seems sensible.

  • To be honest, it's only really a thing because people react to it and make it a thing. If everyone just ignored it, no one would care and it would probably go away. But yes, the Wiki guideline saying not to do it won't have much of an impact as hardly anyone would look at the guidelines before their first post.

    • Symptoms of an issue, no?

  • Meh its all about the deals!!! Who cares what they write its the deal that matters, it is ozbargain after all.
