Hi,
When a topic shows as locked, it means that it has been closed (either by the moderator of the forum or because it has been inactive for more than 3 months). What this basically means is that you can't post in it or edit your posts that are already in the topic, but you can still view and like posts.

Means that thread is locked by Mods..
once it is locked no one is able to post there
Mods lock the threads where they feel..


it is mocking or personal bashing..anything which is against iF rules!!

Forum rules are mentioned here

Yeah it's an automatic locking policy. Any thread that is inactive for 3 months or more, will automatically get locked. We don't need to do anything. We will open it if requested, but it just gets locked.
