Interestingly, normally viewing the thread will give you the message "You cannot reply to this thread because it has been deleted." However, this procedure actually gets around that restriction even for non-mod/non-curate users, though they would not be able to view the thread anyway.
Suggested solution: Distinguish between all comments deleted and thread deleted. It should still be possible to automatically hide threads that have zero visible comments. Threads would automatically become visible again once a new comment is added and pushes the visible comment count up to one.
