Can you help me to close for users new topic, but not close to post comments!
It may be something like this?

I want to close Create New Topic in “Forum”
so that visitors not open new topics but only I want to open new topics.
What to do?

You have to create a new role and it has to have these set capabablites

'publish_topics' => false,

and

'publish_replies' => true,

While what I listed is oversimplified, you may need to adjust extra capabilities to your liking. To learn how to create a new user role with its own custom capabilities read this guide.

Custom Capabilities

You then set the default role in the forum settings in Settings > Forums in the WordPress backend.

To change existing users you have to change their forum role in Users > All Users in the WordPress backend.

Hi drillbell,

I am happy to announce that you can now close forums in v1.0.3 of bbP Toolkit (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/)
