I think “award cheers\[1\]” would be an interesting action to add to the Workflows plugin, that would make this pretty straightforward to implement right?

You could then check any post for content and award points that way. We already have a “chat approval” step available in Workflows, so it could go `check post` → `wait for chat approval` → `award points`
