I don't believe so, forums are for public discussion, and I don't think you should be able to stop the discussion just because it doesn't go the way you want (assuming its on topic). I'm currently thinking of the scripter hiring thread for Crystia where everyone decided to share their unfavorable opinion of the attitudes of some of the staff there, it was closed on author's request.

Very interesting point, which I almost completely agree with. I believe that a thread starter should be able to close (again, by request) their own thread when it's "outdated" though. For example, a hiring thread which does not apply anymore, since all wanted positions have been filled or whatever.
