I don't see any reason for them needing to earn 100 more reputation while earning 10 reputation would be enough for a completely new user. | |

Bounties come from our total points, while this particular restriction checks only for points earned. They're already using a different metric than all those other things you mention. Only protected questions use the criteria "points you have earned." Since I can give out all of my bonus points, clearly I am not drawing from the "earned points" stash. Why am I being forced to give up my most valuable points first? | |

| May 23, 2014 at 17:38 | comment | added | mhlester | I would argue they've earned a net -90 on the site, plus the 100 association bonus | |
| May 23, 2014 at 17:36 | comment | added | Once Upon a Dev | The point of the question is that answering protected questions requires you to have earned 10 rep on the site. Association bonus doesn't count. OK. Say a person has 101 after assoc, earns 10 reputation and offers 100 as a bounty. They now have 11 rep, which is above the privilege requirement of 10 rep and they have earned 10 rep on the site. OK? Having had the association bonus shouldn't matter at that point. This is also the only privilege that has special rules with assoc bonus, so the same doesn't apply to other privileges IMO. | |
