# New account review

> Treat a flag on a day-old account differently from a flag on a regular

## The problem

Most serious abuse comes from accounts created for it: throwaway sellers, spam rings,
ban evaders. But a flag alone doesn't distinguish them from your best customer having a
bad day — and if both land in the same list, the disposable account gets the same
patient benefit of the doubt as the five-year regular.

## The view

Filter:

* **Trust level → New** (add *Untrusted* if you enforce against it)
* **Flag status → Flagged**

[Trust level](/users/trust-levels) is maintained per author across the whole project,
so it already reflects their history everywhere, not just this channel.

## What it changes

The value isn't only ordering — it's that the same evidence justifies a firmer action
here. A new account with two spam flags is a pattern; a regular with two is a
conversation. Teams typically run this view with stricter actions available
(suspend, ban) than the ones they'd reach for in the main inbox.

<Tip>
  Worth pairing with [severity triage](/review/recipes/severity-triage): high severity
  *and* a new account is the combination worth interrupting someone for.
