How do you Protect a question on WikiAnswers?

Answer 1

'Protect' a Question via the Yellow Padlock A question on WikiAnswers is protected if the answers of multiple contributors turn into a debate, if the answer is vandalized repeatedly, or is controversial; among various circumstances.

First of all, the option to "Protect" (and "Unprotect") the answer to a question - the yellow padlock - is onlyavailable to Supervisors and Community Assistants on the site.

How to Protect if you are a Supervisor:

Click on "Protect" to the left of the page - under "Question tools."

What if a non-supervisor feels that a certain question or answer should be protected?

Please contact a CA or a Supervisor to verify. A user may also contact a Supervisor or CA if valid alterations need to be made to the protected question or answer.

Alternatively, email wikianswers @ answers.com (remove spaces) to make the request. If the request is deemed valid, the pertinent Q&A might certainly be protected.
