# Points now come as one summary

> Instead of an email and a notification for every vote, CommonYard adds up your points and tells you once in a while.

Almost everything you do on CommonYard earns points — a vote, a reply, a signature. Until today, every one of them sent you an email and a notification. On a busy evening that was a lot.

## What happens now

- Your points are added up quietly as you earn them.
- Then they arrive as **one email and one notification** for everything together — at most about once a week, at six in the evening, Accra time.
- If you earn only a little, the summary waits until there's something worth telling, or three weeks, whichever comes first.
- **A big game win** is the exception. You hear about that straight away.

Your points themselves haven't changed — only how often we tell you about them. See [Points, streaks and your figures](/guides/points-and-streaks/).
