One was closed because someone made a technically correct statement that the mods apparently didn't like. The statement was the Urahara was capable of using the getsuga tenshou technique. By all rights any soul reaper is capable of using this technique since it is just a compressed reishi beam.

Another was the mod admitting to just being a tyrant and closing the thread.

Theres some grade A mods here if this is how they treat the community. First of all, if you genuinely want to change somebody's approach to something, I really don't think making provocative remarks like "grade A mods" etc does anything to foster that outcome. Quite the opposite, wouldn't you agree?

Second, the others have said pretty much everything there is to say. The mods are in their rights to close threads that have gone off the rails. If you wish to avoid this, farm the new topic off in to a new thread and allow the original discussion to continue alongside it without being buried. People have been given a lot of latitude lately with regards to the speculation on the forums, which technically is supposed to have some grounding in the information presented in the series. I've seen a lot of things that are pushing in to baseless/crackpot theory territory that haven't been deleted by myself or any other mod. So I don't agree that things are as bad as you suggest.
