In summary, when a thread can be locked, it means it will no longer be open for discussion. Threads are usually locked if they violate forum rules or if the discussion has ended. In most cases, a locked thread cannot be unlocked, but you can request for it to be reopened. Locked threads can also be deleted, especially if they contain inappropriate content. You can still read a locked thread, but you cannot make any new comments or posts on it.
