Here's the complete list of report statuses that we used here:
 * 1) Reported: means that the vandal just being reported and not yet reviewed by any admins.
 * 2) Acknowledged: means your report has been acknowledged by the admins, and currently being reviewed.  No reason required for an admin to declare this status.
 * 3) Reviewed: means your report has been reviewed, but the admins not yet decide whether the user is guilty or not.  No reason required for an admin to declare this status.
 * 4) Not Guilty: means the user you've reported has been reviewed and acknowledge for not being guilty for what he's done. However, his username will be under admin's surveillance and will immediately banned if any suspicious action detected.  The reason of this action will be stated.
 * 5) Guilty: means the user you've reported has been reviewed and declared for being guilty for what he's done.  No reason required for an admin to declare this status, but an admin needs to declare for how long the user will be banned . There are nine sub-status for this one, ordered based on the severity level:
 * 6) *Warning Message Issued
 * 7) *First Warning Issued
 * 8) *Second Warning Issued
 * 9) *Third Warning Issued
 * 10) *Final Warning Issued
 * 11) *Trial (Warning) Ban Issued
 * 12) *Instant Ban
 * 13) *Fully Banned
 * 14) *Permanent Ban
 * 15) Revoked: means the user previously has been declared as guilty, but his guilty status has been revoked due to some circumstances. The reason of this action will be stated.
 * 16) Dropped: means the report has been dropped, usually because of the reporter's request.  The reason of this action will be stated.

Every admins who alter the "Report Status" of a report posted, will have to post their name next to the status. This just to make known, who is taking care of that report, and to simplify communication between other contributors and the admin who currently handles that report. For the wikia consistency and security matters, all of the process of reviewing and taking action for vandals will takes time at most 3x24 hours from the time your report is acknowledged by the Admins.
