I just realized we disable invites altogether when a topic is closed. This shouldn’t apply to admins, since we may want to continue a conversation by whispers or get a 2nd opinion on a tentatively closed topic.

It happens in not deleted topics though (although I’m possibly misunderstanding your point here).

I think we should change this.
