This I can personally say it's not always true...
Long ago, in a thread I will not mention as it does not matter at this point, a very important and revealing thread was locked by a mod..
The crowd disagreed and expressed their opinions on the matter (per pm's and on posts), per this, the moderator decided that the reasons and concerns addressed were valid and thus, the thread was unlocked once again...
It is possible to change a mods point of view, if you raise enough valid questions to base your reasons..
I'm not gonna comment on any other topics, but my point is.. It is Possible to have a Locked thread Unlocked after persuading a mod to do so.. it all depends on the reasons, motives and situation- just the same way they can delete a thread with good reasons to back it up..
I'm not very familiar with the new rules, the situation above happened way before any of this... whether this has changed or not I don't know..
