Short answer: No.

Long answer: There was recently (early July) a major exploit that came up allowing anyone to add any item that ever existed on their accounts. This means someone who had not even had their account for ten minutes could own the Party Hat. Thats right. Anyone could have anything. It only lasted a few days before it was fixed by the CP team but the items were still in peoples accounts who used the adder. And at least a few hundred thousand people used that exploit. So it became pretty hard to tell when someone joined because pins could be added too. Many people were not very smart and flaunted their old items and moderators banned them. After this many of the people who used the exploit laid low for a while. But many people definitely still have the items. Nowadays whenever people see someone with a Party Hat theres not much of a fuss. Why? Its not easy to tell if they are an actual tester or not. Some people who are unaware of the adders will still attempt and follow the people around but they will get a lot less attention. So yeah.
