Dealing with Off Topic posts or not

Why does this post say "To view this content we need you to accept third party cookies"?
Before I can see/do anything. I have never seen this before in a post. In other places of course, but never in someone's post.

It's because your browser has blocked third party cookies for this site and the post contains embedded content. I've had the exact same thing happen once here and if I recall correctly it was directly after an update was applied.

Current policy for us as a free-speech-based forum is to not touch off-topic posts or even say anything about them whatsoever. As people have said earlier in this thread, normal conversations may gradually and naturally shift to other things, and it's a mistake, both in terms of community handling and in terms of generating forum content, to butt in and yell at users about off-topic posting. If anyone wants to talk about the original topic again, they can always come in and say anything at any time.
We DO, however, have a rule against obnoxious thread derailments where someone comes in and posts something that goes completely against the natural conversation flow and has nothing to do with the original topic.

Free speech does not necessarily mean anarchy.

The way I handle it, and the way the U.S constitution handles it, is that you have 99.9% free speech. Obviously there's some things you could say that would cause a lot of problems for yourself and others. Not a great idea to have that plastered all over your forum.
