Depending on the scenario, I may only remove it from the host network question list.

Sep 23, 2021 at 12:31 comment added BMitch Mod The big reason that one was getting so many answers was because SE decided to share it as a hot network question in the side-bar on other sites. Mods can still protect the question and also remove it from the hot network question queue. We also get automated flags when a question suddenly gets 10+ answers.
