Every time I see the "Have you considered accepting an answer or starting a bounty for this question?" message it makes me feel guilty, which I don't think I am for simply asking an open-ended question. I want a button like "Yeah, shut up already!" or something...

    It goes away in time. And if you have a good reason for not accepting any of the existing answer and don't feel a pressing need to get a better one, then don't worry about it.

    What @dmckee says. It needs to be that prominent because some people simply don't realize that they can accept answers. Everyone else, just ignore it.

    I'd like to see a link, as open-ended questions are frowned upon in SO.

    Have you considered accepting an answer or starting a bounty for this question?

While you’re right about some questions, you could accept answers on some other questions, e.g. on Python: sort a part of a list, in place.

    I could if there were one. So far, there is no single answer on how do do that, and no definite "that's impossible" one, either.

I'd like the ability to dismiss this message, like you can with the notification bar that appears on the top of the page.
