Also, it seems like we cannot Lock Post anymore, so nobody can reply to it.
Is any way to come back to this, to Enable Locking Own Posts?

We have removed this feature because it tends to be useless. We are about to implement a "Lock this topic" feature, where the forum administrators can lock the entire topic (they must explain why the topic is being locked). Would this work for you?

The lock feature will be useful, thanks, but it will be a last resort.

Whilst creating a welcome message for a forum I decided that for me, in most cases, it's better to allow (not lock). I treat any misplaced post as a signal that I should arrange my forum in a way that encourages best placement.
