If a question has become vandalized or a debate then they will be locked after an appropriate answer has been filled in. Once in awhile if someone has wrote an answer that is very good and it is an answer to the question and it will never change it might be locked, this is to save the hard work of the contributer who posted the answer. But the process of it being locked is done by a supervisor with the click of a button.

Answers can only be locked or unlocked by a WikiAnswers Supervisor. Answers are "locked" in cases where an answer has become a debate instead of an answer, or if the answer has been vandalized too many times. If a question has been locked for either of these reasons, it may be unlocked after a time, or may be kept locked if the question continues to be a target for vandalism or debate within the answer.
