I quite agree. Fine to have the lock symbol for those who can't read,
but for those who can, it is contradictory to have "open" next to it,
which also could be interpreted a rebus command: open lock.
No, he is called "Anton," always. Hasn't yet done anything bad enough
to justify also using his second name to let him know what he hears
next is really serious.
Cheers,

Before we had the lock symbol we used the word "Locked" in the way
that you suggest, but it caused problems when a question was still
locked yet had a state other than "Open" (e.g. "Cancelled" or
"Expiring").
The current system works well for us because we can see the difference
between "Open and locked" and "Expiring and locked". I've had a look
at other sites in the Q&A niche, but none of them support the concept
of a researcher lock, so no inspiration there.

Completely off topic, but in topology "open" and "closed"
are not direct opposites and contradictory. A set of points
might well be both (or neither).
