I was wondering:  
Is there any plugin/setting that would allow the system bot to post a specified message when the topic is closed (by the system or by a moderator)?

Why not edit the existing default topic close copy via Admin, Customize, Text to be what you want?

You can also edit the close message manually by editing the post itself.
