Sure, they're currently "tolerated" in the sense that undoubtedly somebody will show up to point out they're OT -- heck i've pointed it out myself

And I'm sure they'll get plenty of downvotes for being OT

If there was an official OT section, I agree , it would be promotional, and anyone complaining about it would be OT

Checking the most recent posts marked "OT", we get vote tallies of:

+4-6, +4-5, +3-4, +2-4
+2-2
+2-1,  +7-1,  +9-1,  +12-0, +14-1, +15-1, +16-0, +18-0, +18-1,
+18-1, +18-1, +20-1, +24-0, +26-3, +26-3, +28-0, +32-1, +48-0

Only 17% even managed to garner a negative reputation, and each of those just barely so. And I'd guess that 2 of those 4 were down-voted mostly for reasons other than being off-topic.

Your certainty appears to be unfounded.
