@DavidRoberts This is not an superable barrier, but the question is now protected (by Community, so presumably this was an algorithmic decision about the question being dormant and already having lots of answers), so I would be using moderator powers to unprotect it and ask for new answers. — Ben Webster ♦ yesterday
FAQ explains when community user protects the question: When does the Community user protect a question?
> The Community user will protect a question in the following cases:
> 1. The number of deleted answers from users with <10 rep<sup>1</sup>, plus the number of answers with helpful spam flags, is at least 3. (Note that spam answers from new users are counted twice.)
> Generally, this means that three deleted answers from new users will cause auto-protection, but if at least one of those answers is spam, only two answers will trigger it.
> 2. Five answers from users with <10 rep were posted in the last 24 hours. Three answers on Software Engineering, English Language Learners, and Workplace, and 20 answers on Code Golf.
> <sup>1</sup> While users with the association bonus but less than 110 reputation aren't allowed to answer protected questions, the checks for automatic protection and whether to allow 15k+ users to protect the question only consider users with <10 rep as "new users", without checking for the association bonus.
