To be more clear:
in 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Proposed_features/Ground&diff=2018441&oldid=2018440

I removed 
"Any opposition vote without reason or suggestion will not be counted in the 
voting process."as it is an undiscussed modification of a proposal voting and a 
refusal to follow instructions
on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal_process#Voting
Opposition votes without reason or suggestion are still valid and will be 
counted.

Though asking such voters for feedback/explanation is OK and it is
preferable to explain your vote.
