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

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

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

this sounds like a mediocre forum site rather than a site that users can use the tag feature to get advise already given.

Is this they way on the development and management of this site..?

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.
