Why Padlock?

Sorry if this has come up before but I just tried to reply to a post and wasn't able to then noticed a padlock next to the post. I never noticed it before as I never came upon this kind of a restriction in the past. Why is the padlock there, who put it there, and if QVC did then for what reason? Just curious.

Thank you for the explanation. I looked for info here but I guess I was looking in the wrong place. I didn't notice a reason for locking the thread either which is why I asked. Thank you again and have a nice holiday season. 🌲⛄

@Melzie There is one on my post as I asked the Mods to lock it to further replies. I felt it had gone on long enough. Nothing bad.

@Melzie - It may have been an older thread that was bumped.

@San Antonio Gal Please read my post just above yours. It was my thread and I've explained what happened.

Oh, I see @Love my grandkids . I was wondering about the For fun - make a wish thread too. I came back to my computer and it was moved out!

@San Antonio Gal I didn't see the Make A Wish but I'm guessing it was something sketchy.

I was wondering the same thing about the wish thread. I didn't get to read it, but the title sounded fun & harmless.
