User post with plugin myCred

I have created a post submission form with buddyforms and added it to a page for logged in users. Everything works great except for one thing. I have a plugin called myCred that gives users points for certain tasks called hooks. There is a hook for users that publish post. The issue is that when a user submits a form through buddyforms, it goes into my posts section on admin panel where it stays for admin moderation. I can reject the submission but can’t approve it. The only way is to publish their post myself which seems to be why they don’t get points. Anything I can try?
