Description: When posting on Arch forums, the poster would have the possibility to use an 'Off-topic' tag that may color the text, or put it in a frame or anything else that will help to easily sort what is off-topic and what's not when reading a thread.

Please see this thread to get a better idea of how it could be used and how the forums users did 'use' this feature very spontaneously:

AFAIK there's a [color=#CC3333] tag in PunBB.

We will not customize the punbb code more than we have to for themeing.
We do not want to increase the burden to upgrading.

Using a convention is probably the best alternative.
