This hook allows you to reward your users for posting comments on your website. You can select to reward a comment getting approved, penalize comments marked as spam etc. You can also select to reward the author of the content the comment is left on.
This hook has built-in support for Disqus. If enabled on your website, this hook will give out points first when you select to sync comments with Disqus. This means that unlike the built-in comment functionality which gives points instantly, it is not instant when using Disqus.
Available since version 1.0
Known Issues
This hook will not work with plugins that replace the default comment mechanism in WordPress.
Setup
You need to set the point amount for the comment author and/or content author for each instance you want to reward. If a particular instance should not reward points, make sure the amount is set to zero. Make sure you set a log entry template for all instances you intend on using.
