A user who tends to vote a certain way because of the name recognition of another user.  This occurs when a prominent user from any part of the site whether it be the [[frontpager|front page]], [[forums|the forums]], [[ventrilo]], or [[IRC]] makes a site and the respective members of those parts of the community [[upvote]] the site based solely on the name recognition of the user and not the quality of the [[YTMND]].

== Why this a problem? ==

+
Voting based on name recognition tends to over inflate the total rating of a site. The basic principles of voting are thrown out the window in favor of following others opinions. This style of voting leads to the argument of why even having a rating system if a group of users are going to vote {{*****}} for a site that barely took any effort to make. Note that name recognition also causes people to instantly vote {{*}} on any site from users they dislike or feel are overrated, regardless of site content.
