Is there a way to do the opposite of the inactive Zzz icon so we can tell when people have created their account in under a month maybe?
And perhaps a 'highly active' flag if they've posted more than x times in the past month? That would allow those new members to know who to talk if they have any questions
I'm not sure I like a "highly active" flag, but I've brought up a few times adding gamification to the site, and activity would give people higher levels. This should accomplish the same thing, while also showing new to the site. But I do like the idea of a "New member" flag, one that someone could turn off before the initial time period expires, as someone could be a PbP veteran but new to the site.

Maybe there could games created that are only for people new to gaming, or play by post?
I like this idea - and it might be easy enough to simply have a checkbox or two on the game creation page. Eg:
[ ] RPG good for newbies
[ ] PbP good for newbies
(may want to find a better way to word it)
And be able to be notified when a new game matches one of those requirements. That would also give those veteran gamers who don't want a new player to make it clear up front that it's a more advanced game
I like this idea too. Like many cons have for games, being able to pick if a game welcomes people with no experience in the system (will teach), experience preferred (help given), or experience required (expected to have rules/supplies/etc), and a second flag for if a game is good for people new to PbP (would require the will teach flag).
