what does the lock mean when someone post in the forums?

A topic will be locked if it is resolved, or if the nature of the subject is likely to attract undesirable posts, or things like that.
Given that the original poster can only modify a topic within 30 minutes of posting, it is safe to assume that a moderator or Opera employee is the one who locked that topic.
A locked topic can still be read, but regular users can't make new comments.
