If you set discussend to a date in the future, then students will be able to continue to post to the discussion until the discussend date is reached. In the case where discussend has not been set, discussion posts cannot be made if a student's status for the problem is other than CAN_ANSWER, CANNOT_ANSWER, or OPEN. If a student has answered a problem correctly, then prior to the answer date the resource's status for that item will be CANNOT_ANSWER, if the problemstatus parameter is not explicitly set (or is set to the default -- "yes"), so discussion posting will be allowed. However, if problemstatus is set to "Yes, and show correct answer if they exceed the maximum number of tries.", then once the student has answered correctly, then the status becomes "SHOW_ANSWER", and posting by that student to the contextual discussion board is not permitted. There is another parameter -- discusshide -- which controls whether or not existing posts are displayed in the case where the current user may not post new discussion.
