Why didn't people vote for Nadi, Brisbane and Darwin?

They are unskilled?

Both Brisbane and Perth failed in 2007 on one count each, upgrading Odette and Isobel respectively. Both were later downgraded to Tropical Lows.

As for Nadi, in 2007 there appears to be two missing depressions, which no-one can find any info on. Very weird.

RSMC New Delhi, IMD will get 0 votes for a good reason. When Cyclone Sidr had a full eyewall and eye, they called it a depression.

I only have one dislike opinion...the IMD of course. The SHem basins I don't have enough data to form an opinion. The NHC is still the best based on the detail of advisories, the graphics, and other things like TWOs and TWDs.
