I'm mainly a Stack Overflower, but sometimes stray to darker sides of Stack Exchange. I get the customary 100 rep bump since I'm a 'trusted member'. However, on a recent site I visited (English Language & Usage), I couldn't post an answer to a protected question because I didn't have 10 rep points on that specific site. So what was the purpose in giving me the 100 rep bump? More of a curiosity than anything and wondering if that's intentional or an oversight.

    You can't answer closed questions anywhere. Did you mean protected instead?

    And no, it is not an oversight, that limit is quite deliberate.
