What do the green user names mean?

5 points by foca 15y ago ↗ HN

I looked in the FAQ and it says nothing, but I just noticed that some user names are green (both in the home page and in the comments inside links)

(for example, http://puu.sh/1C0y)

Is it that said users are new? (both the users I saw in green have created < 24 hours, so maybe that's it, but if anyone knows for sure… great :))

Thanks! I didn't know of that url. How did you find it? It doesn't seem to be linked anywhere in the site.
