I am giving most animes a score after the first episode. It's easier on me in case I forget to rate it after I added the last ep. Also it's fun to see how the score changes throughout. Though if you're an experienced anime watcher you will be able to see the quality and potential right in the first ep and the end result does not differ by more than one point in most cases so it shouldn't affect the global score by a large degree.
I do not speak for people though who rate animes that they have not completed. If I drop an anime I will delete it from MAL instead of setting it to "dropped". It shouldn't be allowed to rate dropped animes.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
