This is, in my opinion, a bit tricky situation. There are many of those non-solution posts that get comments more useful as the answer itself. So reporting it would make those comments go to the limbo as well.
What I do, when I see someone doing that is to down-vote it. If it is a self-posted solution offering a solution, then nothing. But if it is a non-solution, accepted to get points and some high-rep members downvote that type of solutions it will get negative reward.
If they check, that such missuse will be punished, and that they end losing more of their precious points than they win (1 accepted = 25, one 1-vote by high member = -16, 2 = -32)... they will just stop doing it.
I think that is a very well justified use of the 1-vote.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I agree that the non-answers sometimes have the value.
To answer to this issue, there are two things. 1) Note that first option I mentioned only restricts self-accepting the "answer", green button. It won't prevent getting votes from others. 2) Even if we restrict the post which is the answer on own question, it does not restrict the inquirer. Not only this person can add this material using "Improve question" and comments, but she/he can post a short Tip/Trick article and optionally reference the question post from this publication.
Don't you think that this will eliminate all negative consequence of the limitation?

I know what you wanted to say. I agree with option "1". I just said, what I usually do with such answers and why I do it that way.
For the very few times that a good user really answer the question with a valid solution. That restriction (and the case, I describe below) could be bypassed with something I already suggested some time ago.
Having something similar as reporting, but just the opposite.
I mean, if an answer is good enough to be a solution, but the OP doesn't come back or doesn't care at all to mark it, then 5 or 10 votes of people with rep enough, would mark it as accepted solution as well, with the respective reward to the poster.
Regards.

Sorry that I couldn't copy the links, but I'm working from my mobile so it's not as easy as from my regular workstation.
I do hope you'll get them though!

Yes, I saw them too. The spam posted by SHODES_BD actually got removed before I got to it, but I have RSS turned on for QA so just before you posted this, I found the spam post in the feed and located the profile.
