Now, should someone other than an Admin-level user be able to *undelete* a deleted thread, that would be a bug.

Best you can do in cases where Administration wishes a forum thread to remain closed or removed, is to issue warnings and (short) blocks to convey that users are reversing Admin-level decisions.

However, that said… keep in mind the desires of your local community. If contributors feel there is legitimately something more which needs to be covered in a discussion, be sure to give each matter the consideration it may deserve… i don't think you understood me fully. the threads were "closed" by local staff and then others removed the thread & restored them, just to be disruptive. you even said, anyone is able to undelete a thread - i.e restore a thread; which allows non local staff to restore a closed thread... so again this is a bug.
