| Apr 14, 2012 at 18:00 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | @ben reminder that questions are automatically switched to protected when three new user answers are deleted by a moderator on that question | |
| Apr 13, 2012 at 21:41 | comment | added | Lorem Ipsum | Nice, I did not know about this change. I would also strongly encourage the same for the downvote privilege — earn 125 rep on that site in order to be able to downvote. Requiring just 25 points (current system) is easy peasy. | |
| Apr 13, 2012 at 21:20 | comment | added | Shog9 Mod | Yeah, by all means flag the post if you don't see an obvious reason; I've seen quite a few where it's misapplied. On the rare occasions where I've used it myself, it's been on posts that are collecting a lot of spam or noise, or extremely popular questions that are collecting duplicate answers from new users unwilling to read what's already been posted. It helps a good deal in those cases, but they are quite rare. | |
| Apr 13, 2012 at 21:14 | comment | added | Ben Lee | Thanks for your very complete answer. I actually think that's actually exactly the problem I encountered -- a question was protected for no reason apparent to me (of course, it's possible it had previously gotten a lot of drive-by answers that have been deleted that I can't see, or a high-rep user more familiar with the site had reason to suspect it would, but maybe it was just incidentally over-protected). | |
