76(most likely) sn votes in just 2 days. How many do you think are there on 2+2?!

Why would others vote no?! Maybe those should be counted as sn as well, balancing things out.

This would really help with my game selection, I have a tool for fulltilt that shows me which tables have the most regs, but nothing similar for stars. Regs should not like this, cause anything that keeps me away from their tables is bad for them.

Why wouldn't regs like this? If you're SN at your level it's probably a decent assumption that most of the table is too. If you join a $5/$10 NL game and see a guy without the SN symbol he's probably someone trying to jump stakes and take a shot.

yeah, I guess.
But I can't help but think that a table full of full-time SN "pros" (for lack of a better word) is going to discourage that guy from taking the shot in the first place.
At least in some instances.

you will know fairly quickly if the newcomer at your table has any skill for those stakes or not regardless of whether he has an SN symbol or not.

I think the casual player gains more info and perhaps becomes more intimidated by learning who the 'regulars' are than the regulars gain by being able to slightly more quickly identify the noob's who are likely to stand out for their crappy play anyway,

For sure. Given the choice, players like me (not total noob, not losing player, but not 24-7 grinder) will probably game select just based on which table has the fewest supernovas. I already switched tables on fulltilt today cause one I was on had an extra large number of guys with that ironman icon, and I definitely think what DDBeast said about getting a HU match with the logo is true.

Similar case in a different online game: Magic the Gathering (MtG).

If you were in the queue for 8 man tournies (think SnGs), you could see the names and ratings of other players. Any queue with a supernova-equivalent immediately disbanded. Wizards of the Coast changed this behavior in the first patch after release (as it was most likely harming business).
