What is locked?
Theyre making a reference to stackoverflow.com, a website for IT/programming related questions. On that site moderators will typically lock (prevent updates on) new posts as they appear to be duplicates of existing questions/posts.
Note, they're more motivated to lock posts than actually help users. It's a very VERY unfriendly space for anyone who isn't an expert.
