Hide "NEW" for TL1 and above

We recently started hiding descriptions in the category drop-down for TL1 users and above. I wonder if we could apply this to some other visuals in Discourse. The first that came to mind is the NEW indicator, which is pretty strong:

What if we toned it down for TL1?

We got close to changing this once, but opted not to. @sam objected to scaling it to TLs for some reason; I’m curious if that thinking has changed.

Personally I think we have a really good opportunity with TLs to do progressive reduction to an extent that few other applications can do with such ease.
