"This thread should be about OOTS specifically and any related media examples—not a general discussion about biology" totally reads as "off-limits" to me.

"This thread should be about X, not Y" means Y is an unwelcome topic; off-limits. (In the case of this thread, X leads directly to Y, so it should not come as a surprise that Y popped up very naturally after a couple pages, until it was specifically stated as off-limits on page 19 by the Giant himself.)
