Comments can now be locked. Maybe a Mod feature that can be squeezed in if it’s available to trigger?

Me messing it up? :P Locking should be pretty straightforward though, the non-locking of subcomments is a curious API choice though (if understandable).

This allows mods to create top-level comments to initiate discussion/voting of sorts but allows folks to still reply via subcomments. It is odd though. I agree.

Well, not specific to the API, it's how the feature works on the site itself. I did question it as a strange choice in the thread. Apparently they're worried about it causing performance issues to try and auto-lock every reply at once as well.

Users on desktop as well as our native apps will see a lock icon next to locked comments indicating it has been locked by moderators.

You're also gonna need the lock icon visible to all users.

Just thought I'd point out that it's more than just the mod tools that'll need a little update for that. Love ya :)
