If posts don't fit on the site, it seems fair for moderators to close them. (It's called putting "on hold" now) Most of the questions that are put on hold are not put on hold by moderators, but just ordinary users.
Your 4 links go to a total of 3 distinct questions. By my estimation, 2 of those are just general open-ended discussion questions without specific correct technical answers. If users form a negative opinion of the site or moderation team for closing those, they probably never had a chance to like SO in the first place.
