In Before The Lock

means that you got a post in before a mod locks it due to it being a duplicate post or something inappropriate.

In Before The Lock.

Means someone is trying to add his witticism to a thread before a moderator comes in and closes (locks) it. Used to be clever, but when you see it a half dozen times a thread, it sort of pisses you off.

When people post "IBTL" and nothing else it means they have absolutely nothing worthwhile to say about the topic.

OK, so you're in...now what?

Also a self-policing action to let OP know post is in violation of Forum rules ... giving him/her opportunity to make necessary changes by editing post.
