Can I ask what the procedure is if an admin checks something out and everything is okay? What I've been able to discern is that the adminhelp is simply discarded and nobody is told anything. I can understand that if the complainer is alive, because that provides metagame knowledge they can act on. But if they're dead, 95% of the time it's for the rest of the round, and you're not supposed to use any meta knowledge from being dead anyway.
Even if there was a standard "I'm looking at this" response I think it'd go a long way to helping this situation a bit. I've occasionally logged adminhelps and not gotten a response until I bothered someone on IRC, only to find out that everything was OK. Even just a standard 'looking into it, i'll do what needs to be done, probably won't tell you what happens though' would be really nice and go a long way toward combating this idea.
