I wonder what this sites policy is on posts that users deliberately take off subject.

Arnt replies supposed to be on the subject or issue of the post.

to meant users simply use they to have random conversations in.

Past admins would close such posts…..

Now this seems to be treated with ignorance by the current mods/admins.

What is the current policy on this.

Conversations are liquid, not static. If they can’t change they die eventually. That doesn’t mean I support the subject of a conversation change every two replies, but once the original poster has been satisfied, I see no reason to prohibit freeform discussion. I think the unofficial policy is to let the original poster influence the direction of the convo.

The current policy is one of non-intervention. Outside of spam, and obvious trolling/attacks/predators the conversation should be allowed to take its natural course without intervention.

If the original poster is unsatisfied with the conversation they can start a new thread…etc

You are confusing two different aspects I think. Tagging is used to help people find posts about particular subject in the future.

The discussion a post starts is separate from the tags the author uses –
