Sometimes I read annoying comments asking for, and eventually demanding upvotes or acceptance of some answer.
While for the demanding tone I have a clear position (flag!), the usual case is a user nicely or at least neutrally, asking for rep. So the nick "rep beggar". For those I usually just move my head from side to side, in a characteristic motion that means nothing, and follow my way.
But recently I started following the "activity->comments" of such users, and I found that some of them repeatedly ask for votes/reps/acceptance.
For example, from the same user, in several comments:
At least you can upvote me please! (found two times)
I would help but I don't know it'surely a recursive function. Can you please vote for me? Thank you!
C'mon some vote for me please!
... my understanding is limited ( and I'm a lazy person ) but what do you think of my answer? Is it worth an upvote? Thank you!
Do you have enough Points to vote for me now?
Hmm. I voted for you! You didn't vote for me!
I didn't understand but would you be kind and vote for me? Please!
While I certainly don't see this as a felony, I feel it is a nasty kind of implicit ethic violation.
How should we deal with these cases?

which I usually post in similar situations (new user giving feedback but not voting or accepting, not reading the FAQS, not answering, etc). Now for some people that message seems "suspicious", so I guess I'll refrain to post it in the future (although it seems still OK to me)
