This proposal is for Stack Overflow only, where questions usually get an objective answer, and where the answer rate is pretty good.
If a user has asked several questions, and hasn't accepted a single one, ever, after several days, then provide a message (that can be dismissed) at the top of the screen saying
You have not accepted an answer to any of your questions. Consider accepting an answer if it has solved your problem.
Similar proposals:
- Getting new users to accept answers - different threshold, doesn't allow the user to dismiss the message
- Don't allow people with very low accept rates to ask questions - different threshold, forces users to improve their accept rate rather than suggest it
- Remind new users to choose some answers? - different threshold, forces users to improve their accept rate rather than suggest it
