**Raises hand - I edited that text out of the answers.** If you want to educate/remind users about voting/accepting then that belongs in a comment not an answer. For what it's worth the user in question still hasn't voted/accepted any of the answers to his first 4 questions. He has just posted another question (which I probably **not** answer). I left him another gentle reminder (as a comment under his question): >You are more likely to get some help if you start upvoting and accepting answers to your other questions where people (for free in their spare time) have helped you. This shows your appreciation of their efforts and also shows the answers are useful. And: >Please also read [Why is voting important?](http://meta.stackexchange.com/help/why-vote) We shall have to wait and see if he takes the hints.
