We've already covered the issue with Site Discussions a long time ago. I quote Supermorff:

"...site discussions that are not time sensitive (e.g. the discussion about blacking out the site, which was taking place the following day if I recall correctly) should be open for at least, say, 3 days."

If you're seeing problems with site discussions being closed early as they are, that could either be potential bias or something to bring before the community.
