Comment (by Clorith):

 Archived is not the same as closed, no.

 We use closed the same was as bbPress core expects it to be used, while
 Archived is "hidden to non-moderators", essentially a soft-delete for
 content we do not want to be public, but it's not spam so shouldn't be
 deleted.

 Spam is different, it is marked as spam and outright deleted, so there's
 no recollection of it having ever existed, and they will then rightfully
 return a 404.
