I understood you. The actions which can be performed on a Forum or Message thread are: The first three can be performed and reversed by any user. The last only by Admin-level and above. True for every wiki there is.
 *  Remove Post 
 *  Close Thread  - still visible to casual visitors
 *  Remove Thread  - not visible to casual visitors but remains in thread history
 *  Delete Thread  - Admin-action, can only be reversed by Admin-plus users

Feature. Not Bug.

Now, if they were restored just to be disruptive, advice in my last post still applies, just with longer blocks.

But if the local community is not done with a topic, closed by admins or not, be prepared to listen to the community.
