b. if every user could see which of their reports are bad/good/unhandled, it could create a bigger burden on mods, Global mods and admins with questions why their report was handled the way it was.
I guess it is one of reasons why theymos has not yet create reporter badges and requirements to get those badges. Even if badges do not bring any sort of benefits to reporters (that we all believe badges don't have), it still might result in spamming wave of reports, and more bad reports might be submitted. If any kind of reporter badges launched, I think requirements to get them should be kept in secret, like lucky number of activity to hit Legendary rank.
If someone usually make post reports, just keep doing this, and when a beautiful day comes with lucky number of total good reports, a reporter badge will be rewarded for that account.
