Or it could be a subtle attempt to get some people to stop being ****tards, or at least point out to them that they're being ****tards, or something completely different. Cue a speech from Battuta about the mind and binary choices.
It's never worked then. The problem is that that sort of comment is the clarion call for spammers to simply come in and post more nonsense until the thread dies. I can't remember many cases where the thread has improved after such a post and in those cases I can remember I always thought the call was very premature and the thread could (and did) have saved itself anyway because the next few posters didn't follow suit and instead kept debating the actual topic at hand.
