I'm sure you're all getting tired of hearing from me :D but I just wanted to clarify a couple of points about...well, points :P. I've also updated the userinfo to hopefully better explain this.
The 125 weekly point cap is just based on how many words you write. Your bonus items do not count towards this. There is a separate monthly cap for bonus items of 100 points. So if you were to earn the maximum points in a month, you would get 125 points each week, plus 100 points for your bonus items. I just wanted to clarify this since it seems some people are thinking they have reached the weekly cap because they are including their bonus points.
Also, this hasn't changed from last term, but just a reminder that the week ends at 11:59pm UTC each Sunday. So this week ends tonight at 11:59pm UTC (in roughly 3 hours).
The term also ends on the last Sunday of the month. This month is a bit weird because the last Sunday is the 26th, so the month isn't as long. So this month's points end at 11:59pm UTC on Sunday September 26. The first week of October would then be 12:00am UTC Monday September 27-11:59pm UTC Sunday October 3.
If you have any questions about any of this, please feel free to leave a comment, or send me a PM if you'd rather ask privately. The whole points thing confuses me sometimes, so don't feel ashamed if you have a question :)
