It has happened more than once now on our forum that the first time I see a new post, it is already locked. I am unable to figure out how it might have gotten locked. I am posting here in the hope of getting some tips about what might be happening. Can normal users (not moderators) lock their own …

If I delete it, it locks the post, but don’t change the text. If I Undelete it, it unlocks the post. I smell a :beetle:

Why do some first posts get locked?
