[wp-forums] Add info on closing posts to Forum Welcome

[ipstenu at ipstenu.org]

Yeah, hard to have a boilerplate on some of these...

[Per the <a  
href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Closing_Posts">Forum  
welcome</a>, we reserve the right to close any post that are deemed to  
be non-productive support/WordPress discussions.]

Mind, I'd still want to toss in 'This posts was closed because you're  
a hating hater who hates!' or something more politic.
