You don't. Sometimes you can see the effect of a report, e.g., banned from the forum, the account is deleted, the player's Elo is reset to 100, etc., but you don't get a formal notification.

So if it doesn't look like anything happened, they probably decided it wasn't cheating?

There's a difference between deciding it wasn't cheating and deciding there wasn't enough support for them to say definitively that it was cheating as opposed to someone playing badly.

I guess that's fair. Do you know if there's any lag/time in-between when the report "disappears" and when they actually make a determination? Or is the disappearance the indicator that they're done reviewing it? Because I didn't see any status besides 'open.' I just want to know they're done-done.

I guess also... does that mean I should stop reporting the same behavior? Or would a new report just be "more evidence?" Or do I need to collect better evidence? That whole "if you get too many rejected, we might punish you" thing is a little scary (I know it's supposed to be).
