I often see complaints of people asking questions and not upvoting or accepting answers. It could be that we're both right, and a characteristic of the help vampire is that they either never vote or always vote up every answer. It might be worth looking into both cases on a set of users who are blocked. | |

They very quickly learn that upvoting anyone and everything in their path and accepting answers right away makes would be answerers super happy and makes them want to answer their questions all the more often, because these answerers learn that they'll get tons of free rep "just for trying" regardless of answer quality. People taking the time to actually test out answers, vet them, understand them, etc. tend to, in my experiences, vote less quickly and less often. | |
