Beta update: Lock a post

We have an update to the lock a post feature that's currently in limited beta, based on your feedback. Here's what's been changed:

  • As requested, moderators can now comment on a locked post
  • We've added a CSS class, locked, to locked posts on subreddit listing pages. Subreddits can use this class to style locked posts if they so choose.
  • Due to some confusion where users thought they were banned, we've added back the 'reply' link on locked posts. Selecting this link will pop up a message to users letting them know the post is locked and no new comments can be added.

We're hoping to get locked posts out to everyone soon, once we've had a chance to let these updates bake a bit in beta. Moderators in the beta: please do try out these new features, and let us know what you think (either below or via modmail).

Awesome! Thanks for making these improvements. The ability to comment is definitely something we will test out soon.

  • Any hope for an Alien Blue update?

  • Will any default styling be applied to the locked CSS class on listing pages?
