I found this question on Google:

Loop without 'looping'

And I thought it was very interesting. So I came up with my own answer and signed up for codegolf.stackexchange

Because I have almost 6000 reputation on stackoverflow, I was awarded with 100 reputation points.

But the question mentioned above is protected, and says that I need at least 10 reputation points to answer.

Is reputation awarded like this not count towards things like this?

The message says you need to earn at least 10 reputation on the site you are posting on.

The association bonus doesn't count.
