Q&A answers. Either this guy has a real fan or he's sock-puppetting his answers.
[Edit] Pulled the link to give OP a chance to respond to gentle suggestions.

Do not report him yet, I am curently going through all the answers and looking deeper.

The number of "solutions" that are utter crap but upvoted was my trigger on this guy. (Just to provide insight as to what tipped me off.)

I have seen that. But it seems to me that he has many answers marked as solution from many different questioneers. I'll give you a feedback as soon as I am through all.

I'm not worried about those. Those are valid as such, even if the answers are really not great. The concerning this is simply the consistency of his answer being the only +5 on the page, even when his solution is accepted along with others this tends to be the case, so there was a clear targeting of his answers.

I know what you mean. I am still in pogress with checking his answers...

Spent 3 quarter hours investigating on this guy. Still not sure about him...
3 bad things caught my eye:
- As you said - there are many of his answers were voted 5. Seems suspicious to me but somehow this is not the final proof I was looking for.
- He has answered 3 questions of "Member 8054539". Maybe this is his sock puppet?
- He is always begging for likes like "plz vote and accept ans if it helps. "
Whenever the OP had further questions for his solution he answered to them.
To be honest: Even after diving deeper into his answers I just can suggest around because he seems like an active member to me (or he was once active).
In my opinion there should be the possibility to give him a slight nudge. Maybe one of the Admins can talk / send an email to him before we just nuke his account, what do you think?

I'll pull the link to his profile for now.

He had several running battles with this account http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=9656959[^]
I don't know what he wrote, but perhaps he was removed unfairly, might be worth looking into.
[Edit]
Wow, the spammer won first prize in the C++ articles Dec 2012 and claims to have an MVP, all through cheating.

A difference of opinion expressed by that account in a pretty insulting manner. I do wish, however, that the questions raised by that account were answered directly since it did seem (at least for the first post) an interesting issue. After that it just went downhill badly.

Careful. "Spammer"? I don't see how that's apt or accurate. We all have zero time for people who create fake accounts, but I do not believe this was the situation in this case. What do you do if your wife and friends sign up because they know you're posting and they want to give you a 5? Tell them "no"? I wouldn't, specifically because I know that over time those few votes become meaningless after several dozen votes.
