Points are not attributed to the correct record when username is not resolved

[jnerius]

When points are assigned to something other than a "resolved" username, the points are added to a "thing" instead of the real user.

Examples.

• @jace++ (with "resolved" username) assigns points to the correct record
• @jace++ (without "resolved" username) assigns points to a "thing" (plain string) called @jace

So there's two things.

1. This doesn't seem possible any longer with the website or native client, like you can't type @josh without Slack rewriting it to the <@USERID> value.
2. @josh isn't unique anymore per the post below. If we want to still allow for this, we'll have to address how we want to handle that.
   • no points, no message
   • no points, inform user to use @reference instead of however they did that
   • points to both

I spent some time on this tonight and now that I see this, I've asked in #points-thing-dev but it's late and no one's on.
