The Highly Active Question banner is now only shown to users who either do not have enough rep to answer (10 earned rep), or who have enough rep to unprotect (15K earned rep).

 

Users who are in between these two privilege levels (and thus are able to answer, but can't do anything about the protected status) are no longer shown this banner.

Highly active question

• Remove or make "Highly active question" post notice less visible / annoying

• Move the "highly active question" banner down below the question

• Please consider revising the Protected banner to more closely match the meaning of the words that used to be there.

• “Highly active question” banner is misleading

• How does the system determine a "Highly active question." -- I think 6 year old questions are not Highly active

The "highly active question" banner is still very annoying when reading a Question.

I now see it on most good Questions I find via Google.

It's the most prominent element on the page. It drowns out both the title and the question body.

Please consider tweaking that message, as suggested in the Meta question above.

^{*I would argue that the message is wrong, too. The question is not "highly active". It is perhaps "highly viewed", or "highly active at some time in the past", but I doubt that the 10 year old programming questions I'm finding via Google are currently "highly active".}

^{This makes the entire banner feel broken. Every time I see it, I do the mental math of "...this question? ...highly active? why?"}
