While using Stack Overflow, I have seen many users who post their questions and do not accept answers after getting correct answers.

Is there any way to flag such users?

I am not asking for a Force accepted-answer flag here, that's an entirely different perspective. The marked duplicate question has proposed an automatic procedure for forcefully accepting answers to questions that have been answered but do not have accepted answers.

Here, I am just asking if there is any way to flag such users who have high ratio of un-accepted answers.

    There is no way to flag a specific user. But if there were, what would you expect to happen as a result of a flag here? Force them to accept answers? Have a moderator give them a good talking too, suspend them, ban them asking questions? Commented Jun 9, 2015 at 10:13
  • @psubsee2003 Yes you are right, it would not be good to harass any user. Commented Jun 9, 2015 at 10:21

    It's just a support question, no reason to downvote, though I realize the poster didn't use the support tag, fixed now. Commented Jun 9, 2015 at 14:29

    Please don't waste moderator's time flagging users who don't accept answers. There is nothing moderators can do about this. Simply avoid these users. Commented Jun 9, 2015 at 15:54
  • It is hilarious that many people are finding this Question offensive instead of understanding the nature of the Question. Commented Jun 10, 2015 at 14:37
  • It is hilarious that you assume how people feel about this question (I am not offended, I just think it is a bad idea) Commented Jun 11, 2015 at 6:16
  • If you look closely at the Question, you will find that I am not trying to suggest a new Feature at all. I was just asking for a way (If there existed). Thanks for your comment, though. Commented Jun 11, 2015 at 6:19

A user is not required to accept any answer, and flagging a user for not doing that is non-sense.

Instead of flagging, you could simply leave a comment, although you should make sure you are not harassing the user. I usually put in something like this for new users:

@user do you need more help? If this or another answer was helpful to you and answered your question, please don't forget to accept that answer. Also see What does it mean when an answer is "accepted"? and Why is voting important?.
