重启此已关闭的主题：
最近我收到一位 TL3 用户的信息，他告诉我他从未点击过私密分类，因为他认为锁形图标意味着他没有访问权限。我第一次看到时也很困惑。
我真的很喜欢这个图标，因为它绝无可能引起误解：
我对此不敢苟同 
Nothing is stopping you using CSS to change it on your own personal instance.
There are far too many interpretations of ‘man in jacket with raised collar, hat and glasses’, are they a spy? a private investigator? a rogue agent? what’s their intent? The name FontAwesome uses is in itself cryptic, how do secrets apply to something that ranges from sensitive, private or just non-public.
In comparison there’s only one for a lock. There may be better, but I don’t think that’s it. Objects are always good, they serve a particular purpose, people on the other hand are much more vague and open to interpretation.

How about a good ol’ mask?
Nothing is stopping the Discourse developers to make default settings that are less confusing either.
I would hold off on anything here till the font awesome 5 upgrade is merged … there are more possible icons to choose from. I don’t see us changing core though any time soon.

From my perspective that’s good news, there are already significant numbers of deployments and huge numbers of users who have become acquainted with the current convention. As I said above there may be better options, but it’s almost too late in the day to bother with an incremental gain which has any potential to cause more fallout than benefit.
There are people who never seen nor used floppy disks yet click that icon every day to save their data. Most computers don’t include optical drives as standard now, let alone 3.5", but it’s still very much the norm. I use certain tablet apps which bear the trusty floppy disk icon, despite the two technologies never having intersected.
If the perfect icon which requires zero explanation appears that’s a different matter entirely, but let’s worry about perfect tomorrow, for now good enough is good enough.

I had one instance where we changed the icon to https://fontawesome.com/icons/unlock-alt?style=solid which was the default in the home page.

That’s a great example of tweak which eradicates any suggestion that the content is locked away from the user, without introducing additional uncertainty.

显然，这仍然是部分非老用户面临的问题。Discourse 的默认设置中，图标语义仍存在冲突：
已关闭主题：您没有访问权限，也无法在此发帖。- 可用分类：您拥有（特殊）访问权限，并且可以在此发帖。
……最近我收到了一些报告，有人对同一字形代表的两种不同含义感到困惑。
是否有简单的方法可以批量将这些图标（针对已显示的分类）更改为解锁图标？

这个主题组件可以很好地做到这一点：
它看起来好多了。为什么不将其更改为核心功能？
