Great! I was afraid the sever had eaten the email.

By the way, your link to the bonus points page actually goes to the front page of the forums.

Welcome! It's easy to miss a link.

Wouldn't it be better to put a photo of each MOC in voting thread???  
I think that will make the chances more equal - some MOCs were "Blogged" and presented at the homepage, and some other has been seen by a few users only.

HERE'S the right thread.  

So, asking for the only-mailing-list people who might be wondering, do the mailing-list-but-no-account people have claimable bonus points for being on the mailing list, even though they don't have an account? Thanks for answering, sorry about the wrong thread thing

I think it would be, but I'm not going to be the one spending the time doing it!

I'm not sure what you're asking so I'll take a stab: If somebody doesn't have a Eurobricks account registered prior to July 15 they cannot vote, so therefore cannot claim the Bonus Point.

PS has there been a rule change, allocating three points too own entry is not possible anylonger ?

Yes, the process to claim all 3 points was deemed too confusing for some people so now you can only allocate 1 Standard Point and 1 Bonus Point to your own entry.

[MstrOfPppts]

Just curious, does spending the bonus point for your own entry still require claiming of all three bonus points?

[Mister Phes]

No, that rule was abolished for simplicity sake.

The only requirement to allocate one Bonus Point to your own entry is verifying one Bonus Point.
