What do you want to be credited for?I am not sure if you are correctly understanding the post.
Firstly, I said partial credit, as in acknowledgement of the work it takes to file a report (from beginning to end), and giving reporters partial credit would send a message to hackers that the server is getting creative at finding, BANNING hackers. If you do not hack than you have nothing to be concerned about. Play on.
Also, I said partial credit for reporting already BANNED players, so that means they are all 100% correctly reported that fall within this class of reports. Already handled sounds at least set apart from denied reports that do not accurately report hacking.
Making a report? or having a correct report?
I think we can all agree that most of us would love to have correct reports, but that doesn't always work since players have been banned before staff got to your report.
Marking a report with "Already handled" is almost no different that closing it & informing the player that the player had been banned beforehand. The only difference being that it's a different "title".
The "closed" title does mean it's a denied report, and the reasoning of the denial being in the extra info. An already banned player will have all reports on him denied since he's already been banned, but it doesn't mean your report was incorrect. It also doesn't mean it was correct in the first place.
