I think i already know the answer. However, i have been playing on warmane since 2016 and never knew about the vote system.
Now that i am finally collecting points for the first time i realize how many thousands of points i could have been collecting over the years.
It's just tough luck right and there is no way to be given points that went uncollected in the past? I feel so stupid for not collecting from the start...
Nope.
They're not vote points, they're just "check in" points. You just need to open the website each day, log in and click collect points. Warmane isn't listed on those "top X private servers" where you need to vote for your server, this is just "thanks for playing" points.
