The lock means "Locked Thread". The thread broke a rule and was locked by a forum moderator so no one can post in it. It's also not the persons avatar. The avatar is the picture beside someone's post.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

It basically means that the thread is locked and you may no longer post in it; or anybody else for that matter.

Edit: Chibi beat me to it.

It is bad. A topic is locked if it breaks the rules or goes off-topic. If your topic is locked, it might not be your fault.
