[edit]namevoter (plural namevoters)
- (demoscene) One who votes for an entry in a demoscene competition on the basis of its author or demogroup, rather than the actual merits of the work.
- 2000, Frans Bouma, “Whoa, the namevoters were busy this weekend!”, in comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos (Usenet):
- how bad is the rest of the releases from evoke2000 democompo, because the haujobb demo was the overall winner! or is this again a true example of namevoting? How could such a demo win a democompo?
