Currently, when you close a User Report (UR), the count of resolved URs increases on the editor profile. However, there is no reward of an edit point.

Editors spend vast amounts of time looking for, investigating, replying and managing the lifecycle of a UR. I propose that both replies to a UR and closing a UR should each give a single edit point.

Given that Waze tracks the number of URs resolved, adding points retrospectively would also be appreciated. Though I understand UR replies couldn't be added retrospectively.

The awarding of these edit points should still be subject to throttling and have mechanisms to prevent points farming. Level 1 editors should continue to be unable to close URs.
