According to the rules, an invalid claim followed by a spoiler does not reset the clock. So points can still, at the time I write this, be claimed from my last claim, which was valid.

I assume, therefore, that I can't claim those points, and indeed I'm not trying to. My question is: now that I've posted this spoiler, have I reset the clock, or can someone still claim points from 19:23?

Yes, as uefacup81's claim was invalid, the clock was not reset, and your 19.23 was still the last valid post. Then uefacup81 made a spoiler post, so once again the clock was not reset. You then made the post I am now quoting, asking for clarification. For scoring purposes, you had therefore made a valid claim and then a spoiler (with uefacup81's two posts irrelevant, as both were non-clock-resetting posts). So, after you made your "clarification" spoiler post, the last valid post for clock-resetting purposes was the 19.23 claim.

Starkey then ruined everything by posting his own spoiler, resetting the clock. Had he made a claim in that post instead, he could have claimed 40 weed (19.23 to 20.04).

Hope that clears that one up.
