In rare cases, it allows useful contributions or participation involving someone who has never used Hacker News before, but summoned to participate because the discussion involves them.

There should be a flag that hides new users by default... but consider carefully if you really want to be that person that makes use of such a feature lol

I'd add that it's essential for throwaways, which are sometimes necessary for open discourse depending on the account and topic. Many highly active HN accounts are semi-professional, linking to off-site profiles.

The green seems to make for a good cautionary flag though.
