What you are saying is that the after you clicked on the lock account link, you never got access to your account ever again?
That is exactly what I'm saying. There's this system where you "stake" your bitcoin address, meaning you post it in a dedicated thread and with that you can prove ownership of the account, such a flawed thing. Nobody promotes that, until I got my account hacked I didn't even know that existed.
Nevremind that, I've proven my identity with an Ethereum address, but who the fuck cares? You can find my thread in my profile, it's one of the only ones I've started.
No, locking the account is just a preventive measure, this way you will be sure the hacker will be unable to use this account for frodulent activities (scamming other users, posting links to phishing websites/malwares...)
You can recover your account by proving it is yours. You can read more about how to do that here:
Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwordsYou have to be patient though

Except the mods don't really give a shit, unless you use their shitty "staking" system, which they tell you to use after your account gets hacked.. Even then, it's a matter of chance and praying to the mod gods or some shit..
I have signed the message using MEW, I hope they allow it and give me access back to my account:
