| − | A '''downvoter''' is someone who uses a YTMND account mostly to downgrade the rankings of many sites by giving them the lowest possible score. This is known at YTMND as '''downvoting'''. Once a site has been downvoted, its overall average rating suffers, making it difficult to restore and less likely to draw attention to potential viewers. What sets a downvoter apart from a normal user is how a downvoter almost always rates each site with {{*}}, which is the lowest vote one can get, and comprises 50% of all votes made on YTMND, (the other half being 5 stars). The one star rating is given despite the quality of the site.

| − | Downvoters often perform their actions by going to the profile of a targeted user and downvoting all their sites. This can be(and often is) accomplished without viewing the sites themselves. [[Max]] has taken measures to prevent or discourage downvoters by deleting their accounts. At one time, Max deleted 2,211 downvoter accounts, reversing over 250,000 votes. <sup>[http://www.ytmnd.com/news/?news_id=33]</sup> However, some of the more famous downvoters (such as [[Adverb]], [[inkdrinker]], and [[Tehpwner2]]) remain on the user list and are active in their downvoting.
