     - `/modnvote status` reports YES/NO counts **and** whether the tally currently has a valid integrity seal.
     - It also tells the viewer whether *their* own vote is included in the tally.
 - **Admin audit tools**:
-    - `/modnvote audit` — quick summary of total voters, bypass voters, and tallies.
-    - `/modnvote fullaudit` — groups voters by IP to highlight clusters and potential alts (does not reveal how they voted).
-    - `/modnvote reset` — admin command to clear all votes and reset the integrity seal.
-- **Config‑driven messaging** — all player‑facing messages live in `config.yml`.
-- **SQLite persistence** — votes survive restarts.
-- **PlaceholderAPI support** — expose YES/NO counts and percentages for scoreboards, sidebars, etc.

 ModNVote is designed around two principles:
 
-1. **Privacy** — make it difficult for anyone (including staff) to link a player to a specific vote via logs alone.
-2. **Integrity** — make it easy to detect if someone has quietly tampered with vote data.
