If a thread is locked, it should be done with. That should apply to both posts and reactions. I mean, doesn't this expectation sound reasonable? Putting reacts on posts in a locked thread only provokes the OP more and can lead to some opening further threads about the subject.

I don't believe this should be ever necessary. If its locked, then that's about enough to stop others from continuing to post.

I know you're begging for this thread to be locked, I know you've made around 33 threads already criticizing the site for no reason.

It doesn't really make much of a difference. The thread being locked means it'll get pushed further and further down in the recent content list, so people will generally stop seeing/interacting with it fairly naturally. If a thread is so bad that people reacting to it would further fuel something negative, the mods have the power to just delete the thread entirely anyway. Something like this seems like work for people on the backend with no clear benefit.
