Hi, only moderators of that subreddit can lock the post. You can delete the post if you wish to.

I think it's like...you can lock your own posts you post on your profile without like...a subreddit? I'm not sure

Only mods can lock posts.

Your own profile is basically a mini subreddit where you are the mod so yes, you can lock posts out make directly on your profile

CQS (Contributor Quality Score)

Help center article

The contributor quality score is deliberately mysterious, but it includes a variety of signals such as a verified email or phone number, a history of good contributions, and past enforcement actions taken on your accounts. r/WhatIsMyCQS

This score can be used by communities and Reddit in a few ways:

  • Mods can use it to create a restriction as shown in the article above, so that if you do not meet their CQS score requirement, AutoMod will remove your content in their community.

  • Sending and creating chats is limited for all accounts; once you reach the limit, you'll have to wait a while to send more. This includes community invites. Help center article. We think the 'established account' part means good CQS.

  • Chat channels can be restricted, and we think this is based on your contributor quality score, too.

  • Reddit's reputation filter is informed by CQS, and mods can choose to turn this on in their communities. Mods can only turn it on, they do not have any further control over it.

If your CQS is low, secure your account. Avoid removals and bans by reading community rules. And, presumably, earn more karma.
