 * Hello,
 * Firstly, thanks for creating such an amazing plugin.
 * I was wondering whether you had thought about having different points awarded
   dependant on the category a post is posted in?
 * I have a multi-user site with a number of different categories, one is ‘blog’
   one is ‘galleries’ and one is ‘travel’. Ideally, I would like to have say 20 
   points awarded to posts in ‘travel’, 10 points for ‘blog’ and 5 points for ‘galleries’.
 * Is this possible?
 * If not, is it something you would consider implementing in the future?
 * Thanks,
    Paul

 * Hi Paul
 * Thank you for your question.
 * It’s certainly possible to do by checking what terms a newly posted post has 
   and award points accordingly.
 * Right now I am busy with 1.2 and will not have time to implement this but once
   1.2 is out I will take the time and write a tutorial on the subject.
