+1 for adding a couple of sentences.

Some of the questions are acceptable such as how do I remove "Leave a
Reply" or modify the margin or padding and I think those aren't bad at all.
I don't think those necessarily should get "See a CSS forum" right off the
bat.

But a couple of sentences in the Forum Welcome page along the lines "CSS
customization is outside of the scope of these WordPress software support
forums, for more generic formatting support see a CSS forum" wouldn't hurt.
If a topic started getting deep into CSS customization (again) then that
could get pointed to as a reference.
