I have a reputation of 100 (by virtue of being trusted on other sites). However, I cannot answer the following protected question How can I make my kids passionate in science while being religious? which requires me to have more than 10 reputation. Either the message should be changed, or the calculation.

  • This is more of a general SE improvement (the protected question process is not unique to Parenting). See meta.stackexchange.com/questions/238082/…

  • @Erica It's perfectly permissible for these sorts of questions to be asked on site meta; there's no particular requirement to post them to Meta Stack Exchange.

  • Agreed, it was more an observation that we aren't unique in this regard.

  • I read the linked thread, but I still find the verbiage unclear. It should say "you must have earned at least 10 reputation from [Stackname]" or something similar. Because when you have trusted user bonus, you do have 10+ reputation on the local stack and on the "site" (which is technically stackexchange.com). But, it doesn't seem like it's going to be changed anytime soon.

    If that's the intent, I'm not sure it is productive. I'm sure a lot of people are like me, doing a lot on some topics and only a little on others. Meaning they'll never achieve very many points on those topics. On the other hand, if someone is on a topic much, getting ten points is trivial and thus "protection" really isn't. If you want quality, enticing people to do ten points worth of uselessness ...

  • @WGroleau Ten points is one upvote on an answer, or two upvotes on a question, or five edits. It doesn't mean you need to have those points in a toddler question to answer a toddler question. Protection typically goes onto questions that are attracting a significant volume of low-quality answers anyway.
