What is the meaning of a 'protected question' on WikiAnswers?
A 'protected question' is a question that you temporarily cannot answer or edit.There are two reasons a question is protected on WikiAnswers:1. The question is a catch-all. Catch all questions are where we "catch" potentially harmful questions or questions that violate our Terms of Use to keep them from obtaining potentially harmful or illegal answers that will violate our Terms of Use. We keep these questions in a safe place - the catch all - rather than deleting them from the database. These questions generally remain protected indefinitely.2. The question has become a debate. This includes questions with answers that may contain inflammatory remarks that are being "updated" by various users, which, in turn, creates a debate. WikiAnswers is not a debate forum. It is a question and answer - social knowledge - website. These questions are likely to be unprotected after some period of time - when users have had a chance to cool off and move on from the topic - in order to reopen the question to improvements for a better, updated answer.If you feel that a protected question should become unprotected, please contact Reopen @ answers.com (remove spaces).
