I still think that if we believe in self-moderation perhaps the thread maker should just state in their post that they want the thread not-derailed and we should respect that or just not post in the thread. It would save you all work.
I think the problem with this was illustrated earlier when someone (could even have been you) admitted that sometimes they forget the thread tag and post off-topic stuff in an on-topic thread even when they don't intend to. I do this too. And then I think there are some that just won't respect it because they are too busy having a good time.
