It should only count if the person who made the thread or the user who's wall it's on actually cares. If it's a forum discussion, and the person who made it really wants people to stay on topic, then they can tell them that. If the person who made it welcomes different topics, the admins can't go tell them to stay on topic. Same thing with message walls. If the user who's message wall it is is fine with new topics, leave it alone. But if they're getting annoyed by it, they can easily just tell them that, and if they ignore them, then they can simply close the thread, or even remove it.
