What determines whether a jelly is a "new user"?

Because the Starfish award is given for getting a GA on a “new user’s” question, apparently Fluther has some numerical standard that determines whether a user is new or old (regular? established?).
Is this standard determined by the amount of lurve accumulated by the user, or the length of time that they’ve been a jelly?
If so, what is the amount of time or lurve used to make that determination?

I always say welcome up untill 100 lurve. I would say regular is 2000, established is 5000 and old is 10000
I think it’s given to the first person who gives a GQ to the users first question…
I always assumed it was based on their first question. As in.. brand spankin’ new. GQ, though. Now I wonder.

Your “first question asked” standard makes sense to me.
Perhaps there’s also one for “first answer”, so that a user is no longer new once they’ve asked their first question and given their first answer.
The safety seal is still intact.
If they have that new Jelly Scent.
I think it depends on the number of submissions they have made. I could imagine someone joining and never submitting anything, but logging in every day and reading the questions and answers. They could be a member for months, but with no submissions, would be considered a new member.
Im a new Jelly as of today but no award yet still got to fluther more comments to get one, possibly. hmm

Under 100, newby. The question may be the roll of points and rewards. They are certainly ego stroking, if one seeks that kind of thing. (I do.) I say, let the people who care the most make the decisions, but do we really need hyper-delineations for those who pick nits?
