Then why do you troll by not counting votes?

I have not submitted a write-in, I have voted invalid as made clearly by
me writing "My vote is:".

What is your problem with just counting votes as they are?

Not counting votes you don't like is not the way voting works. Why not
also just not count "no"-votes? Or votes made between 07:03 UTC and
14:23 UTC?

Voting means to count *all* votes.

With people having told you this before I hardly see any other way than
calling this active vote rigging by you. Something that, in a real
democracy, would invalidate the voting entirely.

Sadly OpenNIC seems to not stand for democracy as it used to before. It
used to be one of the main pillars of OpenNIC and was often referred to
as what gives OpenNIC it's legitimation over e.g. ICANN. If this pillar
is destroyed I see the value of OpenNIC itself being destroyed and it's
legitimation to exist with it.

With best regards,
