An upvoter is someone who creates a YTMND account, focusing mainly on voting 
on every site. This is the opposite of a downvoter, and is treated in a similar way as downvoting in most situations. Often people choose to upvote simply because of the existance of downvoters, saying that as a result the vote is averaged out.
Among the most famous upvoters is The Upvoter, a ytmnd user who upvotes all sites, including those of his downvoting nemeses, such as adverb and inkdrinker. The Upvoter assumes a super hero persona, and presumably moonlights as a regular ytmnd user. He uses the Sesame Street song "twelve" as his theme song. He has since retired[1] but maintains a following in Upkateers.
Upkateers are a large group of upvoters who mimic TheUpvoter by upvoting every site they find. However, in recent times, registered Upkateers have halted their upvoting actions and settled down voting normally.
Currently, major known upvoters are mrupvoter and Dancing-is-Forbidden, each with 15,000+ upvotes. Another upvoter who is somewhat well-known, though not very effective, is Pronoun. The whole "gimmick" behind his existence is that he is the opposite of Adverb. Like The Upvoter, he, too, acts as a superhero.
"La Liga de Cinco Estrellas" is the current highly active group of upvoters. Members currently include mrupvoter, BTape, Dancing-is-Forbidden, NESer, FriendlyNeighborhoodUpvoter, and unknownkadath. This group works in an effort to neutralize the negative impact of downvoters. They are also an anti-NARV and anti-Parasite group that promotes effort and originality. The Great Race to 100,000 Stars! is a friendly contest among this band of upvoters that helps inspire people to their cause. This group has helped convert many NARVs and downvoters into more positive and encouraging users on YTMND.
