I keep bumping into questions with perfectly good answers that are not marked as accepted or can't even be marked nor voted because they're in comments. Even if you politely ask the "commentswerer" to move his solution from comments to answers they deny any rep being awarded for their help in an equally politely manner they deny any rep being awarded for their help in an equally politely manner (Hence "rep shy")

Now, I know "Accepting doesn't mean it's the best answer, it just means that it worked for the person who asked" as stated in the about page the about page and the help documentation (right here)help documentation (right here).

Even if that user finds a question with the same issue he/she has finds a question with the same issue he/she has and enters to try and participate with the hope to bring the question back to life, will find out that because of having little or no rep he/she won't be able to comment nor upvote on a question that's been dead for months in order to remind someone that he/she shares this problem and needs an answer, also making it a favorite wont do any good, so this new user will have to post a new (duplicated) question will have to post a new (duplicated) question.
