i want just protection against deletion nothing else...
 
It's a directory, and not a folder :). To add a file to a directory you must write to the directory (which internally is just a file of links). So the answer is no.

You can keep from deleting a directory by simply having a file in it you can't delete (i.e., an invisible file that's chattr'd immutable).

Try that.
