Best Answer

There can be several reasons why a question and answer will become locked.

  • The Q&A could be part of a special project where the staff does not want the question or the answer modified.
  • The Question or Answer might have been been the target of a lot of vandalism, so it is given a good answer and locked to stop vandalism from happening again.
  • The Question and it's answer might have become part of a debate that has gotten out-of-hand and may even have become nasty. In those instances, the staff tries to edit the answer so different views are represented and the Question is locked.
  • The subject matter may be very sensitive to some readers or even potentially harmful.
