Answer 1

Find the solution by putting closedbyid=100 in BDD, qa-post

Worked for me. Just had to make sure the id specified must point at a valid postid with type Note.

Answer 2

Easy solution: go to Admin/Permissions and set 'posting answers' and 'posting comments' to admin-only. That way they are effectively closed to answers/comments from other users. (But then, you wouldn't need users on the site at all if they don't do anything.)

Harder solution: if you specifically want them closed, you can make an event plugin that checks for q_post then set the closed status.
