What does this mean?

I came across a question but I couldn’t answer it because it was locked, what does that mean?

Answer #1

If you come across a question that’s locked that means the person that asked the question was inappropriate. I’ve came across those questions before.

Answer #2

In addition to what mikeh said, sometimes if the questions are against terms of use, however there is a good answer (e.g. someone has a self harm problem and there’s a helpful suggestion) then sometimes the question is just locked instead of deleted

Answer #3

Advisors or admins usually lock questions when the discussion in the comments has gotten off-track of the question or when things start getting nasty. It keeps flame wars in check.
