It was meant to be a light-hearted attempt to fight the Status Quo Institution Bias. Since you liked the original idea but don't like the way I went about trying to get it implemented, do you have any other suggestions?

You could have just started using it yourself and upvoted anyone who copied you. Or tried to draw out specific participants in specific threads - "I think an endcap to this conversation from you would add a lot of value, if you could just summarize..."

I did try to do it myself, for example here, here, here and here. But nobody seems to have noticed or imitated me, or if they did, I didn't notice them.

Trying to practice this to a greater extent, without an established group norm, would have signaled things I prefer not to signal, I think.
