It means that Ev (who is a Rootschat user) has locked a thread that he/she originated. People won't be able to reply to that thread while it remains locked. You have been notified (presumably) because you were on the notification list for the thread in question.

I think it means that Ev, who is a moderator, has locked a thread started by Dorothy, probably because it was asking for information already found on one of her other threads.

Dorothy:  your latest thread was locked because you keep asking the same questions over and over again, and yet you won't accept the answers given to you.

You are being helped outside of RootsChat, and at some personal expense, by those who are trying to assist you.  Please answer their queries by e-mail, so that they are able to help you further.

Nobody is trying to bully or intimidate you, quite the opposite from what I read, a lot of people are trying to help you.

Fair comment - then just get on with it!  I won't be helping you in the future  :-X

Hi Erato

There is no bullying going on.

There was a "team" trying to help Dorothy, off-line.
