I asked this questionthis question a while ago and it has garnered no upvotes and a single upvoted answer. The answer is correct and useful so I accepted it.

Today I happened back onto this question and see that it was "protected" to prevent answers by users with < 10 rep. My understanding of the use of "protection" is to prevent pile-on when questions go viral.

Why would such a low activity question get protected?
