Sorry, but I don't know if there's a more official channel to ask this. Does it have something to do with passing a threshold in karma points?

    If the answer to a question is in the first page of google results, it should not be asked.

      I just happened to google this question and now this post is the first result, so I'd say there was no harm in him asking.
