No daily caps. If you want to frontload a bunch of reviews on your first weekend, go for it. You'll run out of games to review eventually.
Backfill
We ran a one-time backfill for everyone who joined before today — your prior activity has been credited so current members aren't behind compared to new signups.
What can I spend them on?
Nothing, yet. Points are a participation number for now. We have some ideas for where this goes next — cosmetic stuff, profile flair, that sort of thing. Stay tuned.
Anti-farming
Editing an existing review doesn't award more points. Deleting and reposting also won't. Spam-posting for points will get you moderated the normal way. Just don't.
Questions or bugs, post them in the forums.
