If I go check the link on the report history, I see the following:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5377979.msg58778701#msg58778701  according to that, topic ID=5377979 BUT, on the original thread, the one you linked; topic ID=5375199
Weird, when I check topic with 5377979 ID, can't find anything, like it never existed, and it isn't archived either.

My reports history shows that the topic ID changes after a report has been handled by a moderator (as long as the report status is "good"). I think this is because posts aren't really deleted, but are moved to a sort of trash can, which is not accessible to regular members. I guess every topic has a corresponding, "shadow" topic ID in the database, which contains deleted posts from that topic.
