\all I'm suggesting is a quick change to the stylesheet.
This seems like a really good idea to me. Make a change to the stylesheet to help identify threads where people probably shouldn't be posting.
This color coding could include "specialty" topics where it's unusual to post replies (which includes other such forums, like "Links & Information", "Practice Makes Perfect", "Post of the Month", and other "non-discussion" forums (archives, etc)
Seems like a good, low-cost idea to me. Even if it's not a color change... some more obvious indicator. This has been a problem for a looong time.
