Edit. I can see one on the 'Your posts' page, but not in this thread.
And now I can..
Seems to an on and off kind of thing.
The lock doesn't show up if the website is partically encrypted. That means that everything on the RatSkep server itself encrypted but not necessarily what is being posted in a thread, e.g. if someone hotlinks an image from another server in a post the lock disappears unless the source is encrypted itself. In most modern browsers you can check the details of the secure connection, in Firefox it's either the lock or the world symbol on the very left of the address bar, next to the URL.
The thing is that this thread isn't locked, but when I hit 'quote' on your post, the reply page is locked. Bit confusing.
On this thread that's because the signature SCAR uses is on a remote server, not using an SSL connection:

As it is being loaded on this page it does not show the lock symbol, even though RatSkep itself (meaning all the data you send and receive through the RatSkep server itself) is forced through the SSL connection. This is mainly important for content like login and post data users submit on the site.
I see. Goes to show how little I know about IT. Thanks for the info.
