Tried using the Search Bar, couldn't find anything about this.

Will map lock completely block a user from viewing it's contents? The only reason I ever want to get inside of a map is to look at it's triggering. If it allows a user to still view the map but completely restrict him from editing, that would be awesome.

Pretty sure it prevents users from everything. However, you can only release unlocked maps at the moment.

no starcraft to publish ... Thats when it locks the map

There's always the analog hole with protected maps; when it's loaded into memory take a dump and try to reconstruct the unencrypted information from there.
