"We can't force you, but you are strongly encouraged to use Off The
Record Messaging to further encrypt your private conversations
end-to-end. "

Why can't you force it? The cleartext is available to the server. The
OTR traffic is trivially identifiable.

You might want to just rephrase it to say that you don't force it
rather than can't?
